BUSINESS IS GOOD,
 PRESIDENT STATES
Also Feels Public Has Not Lost
 Confidence

Washington, Feb. IS. President 1 Coolidge regards business generally as 1 in a healthy condition and believes the American people can feel safely that the great bulk of the country's business is carried on without any suggestion of wrongdoing.
 Mir. Coolidge allowed his views on business conditions to become known after today's cabinet meeting at which he and his advisers made q general survey of conditions.
 l Reports were understood to have reached administration officials that the business situation had been some what injured by the disclosures in the oil investigation but 1t is the opinion of Mir. Coolidge there should be no fear on the part of business men gen. orally; that many of the rumors spread about as result of the oil inquiry will be found without basis and that the country may look for ward to the coming months hopeful ly and without fear either as to pros- perity in business matters or as to the regular normal functioning of the government.
 Each of the members of the presi- dents official family having to do with business conditions acquainted the president with details of the situation, from which the president was able to summarize the outlook, as thoroughly good.
 The discussion brought forth that there was no material unemployment anywhere and that while orders on hand in some branches of industry were not large, it was the result of the policy of refusing to book orders far in advance because possible price changes rather than any feeling Of fear on the part of the interests in volved.
 Manufacturers generally were re- ported as finding d ready market. h. dications were seen of promising ac- tivities in the building trades as soon as the building season opens. The boot and shot trade, the textile in- dustry and the iron and steel business were found to be active and in q favorable condition.
 The note of confidence was further strengthened in the presidents view by the tentative wage agreement reached by the bituminous operators and miners yesterday at Jacksonville.
