Boston, Nov 9.-Referring to "visible signs of economic recov- cry now appearing on the business horizon," and declaring that New England's relatively better busi- ness condition gives this section ''an exceptional opportunity to make a signal contribution to the national prosperity" President Harry c. Knight of the New Eng land Council, all-New England de- velopment organization, to-day calleA attention to the forthcom- ing Seventh New England Confer ence to be held in Boston, No- vember 19 and 20, and declared that the conference this year will give to the rest of the country new proof of New England's strength and leadership"
 The council chief executive as- serted that the year 1892 will be characterized by constructive ef- fort in both business and public policy" and urged that in prepara- tion for playing their full part in such action, New England business men should heed the necessity of closer cooperation. He added that the Seventh New England Conference will provide oppor- tunity to develop such cooperation.
 President Knights statement follows:
 "The visible signs of economic recovery now appearing on the business horizon should be espe- cially gratifying and cheering to the people of New England. All indices continue to show New England coming through the worst depression in many years in somewhat better condition than the rest of the country. This means, of course, that New Eng land may have again the distinc- ton of leading in the recovery, that it has an exceptional oppor- tunity to make a signal contribu- ton to our national prosperity.
 From our difficulties we learn our lessons for the future, and one thing demonstrated by the cur rent depression is the need for more cooperative association on the part of business men. We are but helping ourselves when we join with others for the good of the whole, and when we abandon the search for 8 super-man and re- solve to do the job ourselves. For those reasons the sessions of the New England Conference this year will have more than ordinary sig nificance.
 "The participation of the six New England governors in the Seventh New England Conference is of especial importance this year, when so many questions involving
