BUSINESS TREND
STILL IS UPWARD
Statistical Agency Sees Many
Signs for Encouragement
in Situation

Slowly but surely the business
trend continues upward, according to
the weekly review of r. G. Dun and
Co.. statistical expert.
The situation and outlook as pic
tured by this authority follows:
Response to the stronger funda-
mental conditions in business, al
though not generally evident, is
gradually becoming more clearly dis
cernible. Each weeks movements
demonstrate the Importance of the
time element in the process of recov-
cry from a major commercial setback,
yet the sweeping readjustments al
ready affected have formed a basis
for progress along more wholesome
lines.
"Close observers Of the situation
have not expected anything more
than a slow and uneven upturn from
Exceptionally low levels, but the mod
crate gains occurring in various
quarters thus far this year, while
largely Of q seasonal character, have
frightened the outlook. The i'm
proved sentiment which is essential
to a revival of activity is spreading,
and this is the more encouraging be-
cause the increased operations result
ing from the more cheerful feeling
are being governed by actual needs.
with a prudent disposition to
confine commitments to well-defined
requirements and avoid speculative
excuses, such growth Of trade as de-
velops should prove the more lasting.
The fact that stocks of goods in most
channels have been substantially re-
duced and in many instances are un-
usually small Is a constructive feature
which is steadily attaining greater
prominence, and this strengthening
Of the inventory position was n of
the necessary steps toward economic
betterment.

available supplies in some producing

evidenced by requests for rush ship

ished articles, the steel industry and
certain textile divisions. among 9TH
ers, experiencing this condition, and
the rate Of mill output Is rising in
different directions.
"Reflecting the latter phase, oppor-
tunities for employment of workers
are broadening in some cases, but the
restrictions on the public purchasing
power place limitations on the retail
turnover. There remain many irreg-
ularities and numerous unsatisfactory
aspects in business, yet the favorable
portents have come more plainly into
the foreground during the nearly two
months OF the present year, and the
adverse statistical records appearing
from time to time are regarded Is
chiefly revealing the influence nf past
developments.

when preparations for the casting were put
on foot" so it is stated, "a molder in bronze
was advertised for. A Frenchman named
Stinach answered the advertisement and was
engaged. He made the mould for the casting.
He wanted very fine sand for his work. None
could be had here. 1t was brought from France,
and was a rather expensive necessity. The
casting was in six molds. The head and Shout
derS formed one section; each arm was cast
separately; the lower part of the body and the
plinth went together; the sword and marine
glass were cast separately The mortars were
supplied by Commodore LETTERS, under direction
of Capt. Howison."

THE statue was unveiled by QuartermaSter
Knowles, who was with the admiral on the
flagship when he was dashed to the rigging at
the battle of Mobile Bay. He was assisted by
James Wiley who was boatSwain on the same
flagship Nor was the usual salute of II guns
forgotten, and this was given from a position
in Lafayette Square, a few blocks away.
On behalf of the Nation President Garfield
accepted the statue. How little did he then
dream that in so short time-but few days
over three months-he would be stricken down
by frenzied but cowardly assassin; to lnger
three months and half more and then to die
lust as time in his career when there was
every reason why he should have lived. Poor
Garfield! grateful Nation still mournS his
loss. In his speech Of acceptance he said:

Of art to break down the limitations which

other and allow those of past generations to be
comrades and associates Of those now living.
This Capital Is silently being filled up with the
heroes of other times. Men Of three wars have
taken their places in silent eloquence guard
fans and guards Of the Nation they loved so
well, and as the years pass on these squares
and public places will be rendered more and
more populous, more and more eloquent by the
presence of dead heroes Of other days. From
all quarters of the country, from all generations
of its life, from all portions Of its service these
heroes come by the ministry and mystery Of
art to take their places and stand as permanent
guardians Of our Nations glory.
To-day we come to hail this hero who comes
from the sea down from the shrouds of his
flagship wreathed with the smoke and glory of
victory, bringing so years of national life and
honor to take his place as an honored COM
patriot and perpetual guardian of his Nations
