Bank of New York in its December

hutton. employment of labor. clca ring
of bank checks and the other recog-
nized trade indiCes show an accelerat-
ed progress that in the commercial
field has brought an upSwing of buy
ing in almost every important in
duStry.
The absence of rapid price ad-
vances makes it clear that this up
swing has not been in the nature Of
a BOOM Extreme tendencies in the
commercial field have been held In
check by the good sense of people III
general and by the capable direction
of business leadership. SO that com
mercial speculation of a kind that
would initiate the general economic
structure, pile up unsold goods and
make dangerous inroads on credit has
been largely absent.
Reason for Prosperity.
MANY qualities contribute to our
present material prosperity. and as
we leave the present year and enter
1926 various authorities may be eX-
pected to dissect and discuss them for
the nations guidance in the new year.
There is. for example. the great for
ward movement in real estate and in
the construction industry. There is
the unparalleled buying of autcmo-
biles There is the widened use of
many other things which contribute
to human comfort and happiness.
There is the large purchasing pow.
er of the people. derived from full
employment. high wages and increased
dividend and interest distributions.
There is the added purchasing power
given by the extraordinary develop
ment of the retail instalment credit
plans. There is the favorable bank
ing situation. There is the promised
further relief from the burden of Fed
eral taxes. There is the buying of
American goods abroad.

DENIES HE NAMED
FRIEND IN DIVORCE
Symington Says Press Responsible
for Bringing H. H. Work
Into Case.
BY the Nssociated Press.


NEW YORK, April 2.-Thomas H.
Symington, wealthy manufactures
and clubman, who recently filed a
bill of particulars in support of his
divorce suit brought last year, has
denied naming Horace II. Work, New
York financier and resident of Madi-
son, N. j., as one of three correspond
ents, as was stated in dispatch of
March 26.
In a letter given out by Mr.. Work,
who is now at Palm Beach, Fla, Mr..
Symington said he was shocked by
the publication of the story. His
letter follows:
BALTIMORE, Md, March 27, 1925.
Dear Horace:
Il am tremendously shocked to see
in the newspapers of yesterday and
this morning an article in which it
is stated that / have named you as
correspondent in the bill of particulars
in my divorce case against Mrs.
Symington. 1t is hardly necessary
for me to tell you that this is abso
lutely without any foundation what
ever. In no way, directly or indi-
rectly, have you been named in this
connection and the full responsibility
rests on the newspapers.
Yours very truly,
"T. H. SYMINGTON."
The bill of particulars in which
Mr.. Symington was said to have
named Mr.. Work along with two
other socially prominent New York
men has been missing from the court
records for several days and court
attendants could not explain it's
absence. Attorneys for Mr. Syming-
ton said, however, that the name of
Mr. Work had not been included as
a correspondent.
