UPWARD BUSINESS
TREND INDICATED
Economist Sees Recovery in
Many Lines, Including
Building Activities.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 2-Though gen.
eral business exhibits only gradual i'm
provement, seasonal forward impetus Is
being augmented at this time by the
expansion in construction, according to
Gage p. Wright, business and invest
ment counselor of New York, who also
observes in the latest bulletin of the
Business Economic Digest that the re-
covery already registered by the stock
market has greatly revived confidence
and constitutes one of the most i'm
portant potential factors for eventual
stimulation of many lines.
In addition to favorable seasonal
tendencies marking, the advance of
Spring." says Mr.. Wright, "the upturn
in general business gradually Is being
extended. Absence of substantial prog
ress by some lines gives to the recovery
a continued aspect of unevenneSs, but
there are unmistakable indications of
improvement. No small importance
may be assigned to the stock market,
the rise in which has contributed
greatly to increased confidence and
helped to establish financial resources
that eventually will move into trade
lanes. The fundamentally favorable
factor Of abundant and relatively easy
credit also continues to exert q most
important constructive influence.
"The lower price Of copper offers in
ducement for more VIGOROUSLY pushing
enterprises that may have experienced
some restraint. Specifically, new con-
struction, new engineering projects and
electrical and telephone developments
should be spurred to greater degree of
activity, which would naturally benefit
employment.
LAS expected, first quarter earnings in
many instances are making somewhat
unpleasant reading. OF course, pro-
spective, rather than past, earnings are
the more significant, but it Is interesting
to note that financial statements cover
ing the first three months of 1880 Of
many of the leading companies are
either showing actual gains over the
corresponding period of last year or are
turning out better than earlier antici-
pated.
Regarding the outlook for increased
activity in production, the existence of
generally low inventories in many lines,
including retail trade, is believed to con-
stitute q potential factor of much i'm
portance, likely to set in motion a de-
cided upswing In manufacturing. Re-
tail trade has quickened seaSonally, and
the movement of merchandise is ex-
pected to continue it's upward course
A great deal already has been accom-
plished on the upward side of general
business"

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 2.-Selling, in
spired by the poor showing of first
quarter reports and by the continued
drop of commodity prices, gained mo-
mentum on the Curb Exchange today
and many stocks made new lows for

While the industrial and public util-
ity groups were most actively offered,
the weakness extended to the oils,
aviation shares, radio stocks and
trading corporation equities.
There was some hesitation at the
opening, as selling and buying orders
Just about balanced; but after the first
half hour the liquidation became quite
heavy, volume Increased and prices
gave way.

He Doesnt Answer Her Letters
DEAR MISS FAIRFAx: y
I have been going with q
boy who lives quite q long
way from here, and while he
is here ne goes with me every
evening, and with no other
girls. When he returns Shome
he writes me one letter, which
I,answer, and then he doesn't
write again. The next time
he comes this is. repeated.
don't really know what to do.
When he Is here he seems to
like me, but when he doesn't
reply to my letters I begin to
doubt his affection. Can. you
please send some advice to
PUZZLED?
It looks to me as If you were
trying to hurry things along
more quickly than Is agreeable
to the young man. My advice
would be- Take things more
casually; sometimes let him
write the last letter, and try
not to be too deeply concerned
with what he does when. he is
away. Remember, you are not
engaged to him, and he Is under
no obligation to account to
you for his comings and goings.
A great many girls wreck
their own love affairs by try
ing to hurry them along at too
rapid q pace. Men are subject
to two states Of mind, either
Of which is fatal to falling in
love or staying in love. One
Is fright - and the other Is
boredom. My reason for fhis
little sermon Is the receipt Of
several letters in the morning
mail, written by young men
who complain that girls hold
them too strictly to account.
One winds up with: Occasion
