Congress- Mud
Affects Trade
BABSON SAYS BUSINESS HAS
GROWN IVE--TRUUBLE
BY WEATHER, POLITICS.

Roger w. Bobson discussing the
general business situation with news
paper men touched on two interesting
intangible factors which he believes
are largely responsible for the recent
slump in general activity.
"The weather is not fundamental
factor in the general business situa-
tion," says Mr.. Babson, ''but unsea-
sonable conditions are liable to have a
decided temporary effect. Whether
the long swing is upward or down
ward unexpected development and dis
couraging reports from the weather
bureau may upset things temporarily
An unreasonable fall last year, fol
instance, left retailers all over tine
country with a large stock of goods
which either has to be sacrificed al
a loss or carried over for another
year Nor has this spring been any
better. The worst storms of the
winter came in March when they
should have come in January or Feb
ruary At the season of the year when
spring should be in evidence trains
have been blocked, wires down, motor
cars and trucks stalled in snow drifts
Naturally this belated winter has
greatly interfered with spring bust
ness. 1t has interrupted the market
ing of grain; delayed the planting OF
oats and other crops, building has

LARGER ROAD WOULD ACQUIRE
TRACKAGE INTO THE TWIN
CITIES.

Ownership of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railroad, now in receivership, is
sought by the Illinois Central railway
according to reports current in Twin
Cities railroad and financial circles.
Directors of the Illinois Central sys-
tenn are considering the purchase of
the smaller road, which has it's prin-
cipal terminus and general offices in
Minneapolis, it is reported. The Mn

proximately $6O,OOO,OOO, having 1887

cutive committee, and J. S. Bachc,
New York capitalist and former

Acquisition of the Minneapolis &

the Illinois Central system, according

to transportation experts. Inc larger

makes connection. The Minneapolis

Would Tap New Districts.
Consolidation with the Minneapolis
G. st. Louis would give the Illinois
Central system a directly tapping OF
the northwest into Dakota and Min
nesota, strengthen its connections be-
tween the Twin Cities and Chicago

siye network of rails of the present

500 Deal on Some Time Ago.
Several years ago it was reported
that the 500 line was negotiating for
the purchase of the ST. Louis, but the
deal fell through. At different times
during the past ten years several
other roads have been reported az
seeking to purchase the M. g. st. L.,
but no transfer of the property was
made. There is no doubt, bat that the
M. & ST. L., if absorbed by some
large transcontinental SYSTEM, would
be a valuable acquisition, as it taps
excellent territory. On the other
hand if the road was acquired by a
larger system there is little doubt,
but that the property would be inn
proved and better service would be
the result.-Brown County Journal.

been held up, and since most of us
buy our spring goods by the weather
rather than by the calendar, general
retail trade in many sections has come
almost to a standstill.
Check Only Temporary.
Business men should keep in mind
however, the fact that weather condi-
tions seldom hurt trade permanently
Unreasonable weather tends to delay
business just as dam may temporal
lily delay the water in a stream, but
just as soon as the weather gets baca
on to schedule this volume of accumu-
lated business comes with a rush just
as water may be depended upon u
come down stream if the dam is re-
moved. Often when trade is checked
by bad weather conditions it is alb
normally good later on. The wise
merchant will keep this fact in mind
and will be ready to take advantage
of the good business weather as soon
as it appears.
"The other disturbance at this
time," continued Mr.. Bobson, ''is of d
more fundamental nature. Real DAM
age to business has resulted from the
cheap politics INDUCED in at Washing
ton. This sort of 'mud-slirging, ir
place of the constructive legislation
which should be attended to is de
stroying business confidence and con
fidence is a fundamental factor in oui
business situation. Weather cOndi-
tions are mere atmospheric disturb
ances; but confidence is the very soil
in which prosperity must grow. A
storm may temporarily delay Tie
growth of field of wheat; but if the
earth itself is washed away, the crop
is permanently destroyed. The poll.
ticians have undermined the whole
field of business activity.
