The department is saturated with
a daredevil spirit Commissioner

GOOD BUSINESS
PRED|CTEDBY
EXPERTS
Reynolds, Dunn, Simpson
See Better Conditions
in Fall Of 1925.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Morc active
business. probable increase in freight
volume and excellent general merchan-
dising conditions were forecast for
this fall by three Chicago business cx-
pcrts today.
George NJ. Reynolds. chairman of
the board Of the Continental and Com
mcrcial National Bank; Samuel o.
Dunn, editor of Railway Age, and
James Simpson, president of Marshall
Field and. company, made statements.
Business is more active than last
year." said Mr.. Reynolds, Figures for
AR loadings. bank debts. and manu-
ufacturing shows this. Moreover,
feeling Of confidence now exists.
The farming situation again is fav-
orablc. generally as to production and
certainty as to price. We may then
expect good business this fall-no
boom but seasonal activity or better.
CREDIT GOOD.
with such a prospect. we natural
ly want to know the outlook for the
banks and the money market.
Il see no reason to worry about any
credit stringCncy." Mr. Dunn said.
Present indications are that raA-
road freight business during the rest
of this year will be as large as, and,
III fact, in most parts of the country
larger than it ever has been in the last
0nc-third of any previous year.
The weekly car loadings recently
have exceeded those Of corresponding
weeks of 1924 and 1923. They are
not an exact measure of shipments
but an analysis of the statistics Of
loadings shows that the actual num-
Der of tons of freight being shipped is
substantially larger than year ago
and approximately the same as in
1923, the record year.
BUSINESS GOOD.
while freight business is good and
promising the same cannot be said OF
passenger business. The increase i'll
the use of private automobiles and mo-
tor busscs has caused a steady rcduc-
ton Of passenger business since 1870
and in every month Of this year, it
has bnc.l less than last year.
While freight business promises to
break records in most sections this
cannot be said of the central-wcstern
and northwestern parts of the cOun-
try. Because of the Panama Canal
competition, ard other causes freight
business of the railways in these ter
ritories is less than in some former
years but it is larger and promises to
continue larger than in 1924"
I'm our judgment" said Mr.. Simp-
son. general merchandising condl-
tions are excellent.
CROPS IN GOOD SHAPE.
THE crop condition of the country
is excellent and the purchasing power
of the country, great as it is at the
moment, promises to be even better for
the rest of the year.
Our own business shows healthy
cain in volume of distribution over the
same period Of a year ago and we an
ticipate that our distribution for the
rest of the year will show an even
larger gain than for the period up to
date.
Retailers stocks are comparatively
low and while they have anticipated
their fall requirements to greater ex-
tent than in the last two seasons. we
believe that the demands will compel
frequent trips to market to replenish
their stocks"
