CHICAGO, Oct 20 = Chicagol
Industrial and business leaders
have robust confidence not only
in the outlook for the balance
of this year but in what 1879 VIII
bring. chicago's bankers are less
confident, largely because they
fear Wall Street may bring on
some unsettlement.
Let leaders in different indus
tries speak for themselves. Silas
HI. Strawn, chairman Of Mont.
comery, Ward & CO., observed:
II believe business conditions
are sound. From the viewpoint
OF q Republican it would seem
that the election Of Mr.. Hoover
was being discounted and that
our manufacturers and business
men are going ahead according
"0f course. there overl1angs the
whole situation the very serious
peril OF speculation which may re-
suit in q severe shaking UP OF our
financial structure, but unless the
bubble grows beyond any antici-
pated proportions do not believe
when it bursts 1t will permanently
affect legitimate business.
Fred w. Sargent, president Chi
cago Northwestern railway, says:
There can be 70 doubt but that
the general agricultural and indus
trial situation in the Northwest
has materially improved since the
defiation period that followed the
war. While prices for grain are
not satisfactory yet. on the other
hand. these have been two years
of good crops and our farmers are
going each year more largely to
diversified production.
THE purchasing power Of the
Northwest territory is gradually
improved. The surplus obliga-
tons have been largely Iiquidated
and the foundation is now laid on
secure basis for an era OF per-
manent prosperity.
In my opinion, the Northwest
has turned the corner and is
rapidly resun1ing it's place OF
leadership in agricultural produc-
ton and agricultural wealth. .
William Wrigley, ir., whose
business brings him into intimate
touch with the whole country,
states:
My experience is that business
Is in very satisfactory condition
throughout the United States.
Nineteen twenty-eight up to date
has been very successful year.

NEW YORK. Oct. 20.-Though

freight car loadings was a favorable
commentary on the expansion In
domestic business.
Copper metal was marked Up to
1914 cents pound, and sold at
that price today for the first time
in three or four years. Producers
have been gradually insisting on q
higher level of prices for the red
metal, in accordance with the grow
ing demands of the home and for
eign markets.
This is the big factor behind the
new advance in the copper stocks
this week, American Smelling hav-
ing moved up about is points this
week and the ow-priced coppers
have gained from 2 to points. The
coppers were strong today.

BANK SIT AT|ON
IS REPORTED
IMPROVED
By HARRY GUSACK.
Financial Editor

A marked Improvement in the
country's banking system for the
first eight months Of the present
year as compared with the same
period in 1927 was announced today
by the Federal Reserve Board.
During the eight months of this
year there were 313 bank failures
a member and 266 nonmember, as
compared to 40 failures, 96 member
ard 394 nonmember in 1927.
Deposits of the banks which COT
iansed amounted to $97 ,977 900 this
wear. against $15S 100000 last year.
Deposits of the member banks were
SOS. 2I9.0O0 this year, against $780,
600 900 last and those of the nom
member banks, $69,O00.000 against
39T, 600, 900.
The reserve boards summary Tor
August showed 81 failures. as com
pared to 81 failures last year, with
total deposits of $6,927, 900. against
S17. 1854, 000.. During that month but
four member banks collapsed, two
in the Minneapolis district and one
each in the Dallas and Kansas City
districts. There were no failures
in the New York. Boston. Philadcl-
phia, and San Francisco districts
during the month.
Failures in the Minneapolis dis
trict numbered five: Atlanta, four;
Richmond and Chicago, 8; st. Louis
and Cleveland, two each, and Kan
sas City and Dallas, one each.
1t was pointed out that final re-
ports will show that some of the
banks which closed their doors
either have or will reopen at later
dates without losses to depositors.

queer little Imprinted house that her husband had taken in exchange
for q bad debt, and the two children.
And Mary made the best of it.
She made apple jely-there wa a garden and q sort Of orchard
attached TO the implanted little house. She sold the jelly, she raised
asparagus and sold that, and she took the schoolteacher to board
with her and BY hook and by crook Mary sent the boy through COL
lege, and the girl to a good school. Now they're both married and
neither Of them ever seem TO think of Mary at an-except as Q
mother-in-lew.
Poor Mary. she was a mother once and before that she ~as q
pretty girl. with all the pretty girls hopes and dreams-but now
she's just mother-in-law.
Sons wife is the worst about IT,
She's jealous of Mary in that queer. narrow minded. mean way
that some women have and il Johnny goes TO see his mother.
Johnny's wife goes with him, or she knows the reason why. She
laughs ct Mary and saws she wears the wrong kind of hats. and
doesn't know a thing about clothes
If Johnny even calls Mary up on the telephone, Johnny's wife
listens in to be sure that Johnny isn't too affechonate-poor Mary,
she knows all about IT and never says a word.
| think Johnny realizes about it nov-he didn't &C first Men
are a little slow about such things, but somehow / don't think
Jchnny's wife will be very happy when Johnny really makes up his
mind about IT,
Little Mary's husband isn't so bad; be doesn't seem to mind
much about Marys mother; he'd like her, IL he had q chance. but
his mother is jealous Of Maryis mother. and if Marys husband says
@ decent word about Marys mother, husbands mother has q crying
spell and says nobody loves her.
! wish the fisnd who invented jealousy would 90 away some
where and die and take his mean. greeneyed, yellow-faced. cruel
invention with hrm-dont you?
There's Jane, too-she is motherinlaw herself and she has
q nice coy little daugherinlar who would be a great comfort to
her If Jane didn't permit herself to be jealous of daughter-in-law-
oh, yes. IL works both WAYS.
Sometimes I'm sorry for men-arent you?
