Confidence and faith in the busi- |
ness outlook for Washington dur
ing the remainder of the year is /
found in the tone of every ex
preston obtained from bankers and |
business men in this city during |
the course of a survey extending /
many lines of business. A COM
posite of the expressions heard in
the financial and business district
would be to the effect that a good
business period is assured for the
remaining months of 1925.
Trade is progressing favorabIy
here, it is asserted. and there is a
e demand for investments.
Money rates are creeping upward
while there are many signs of a
stabilization of the market
Normal fall business expansion
has already been noted here and it
Is predicted that the prospects for
4 brisk holiday trade are above the
average, although in some quarters
1t is doubted that the season will
show any pronounced gain over
1925, which was excellent.
