In the three preceding weeks the

Finance CIRCLES
MORE CHEERFUL
Greater Value Put on Tax
Promises and Utility
Peace Talks.
By the Associated Press.

oS iHo nSsoSiuttu fieoo.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Although gen.
eral business shows no great change
on paper, Wall Street appears to have
come out of its pessimism enough to
believe a change in the tide is in the
cards for early 1898.
BY contrast with few weeks ago,
when depression psychology COM
pletely dominated sentiment, the
financial sector is fairly cheerful.
The change was mirrored by an ap-
parent bracing of the stock markets
underpinning, which lessened its sus-
.ceptibility to the relapses fairly COM
mon during October and the first half
of November. -
Coincidentally in the last week or
50 observers noted that brokerage cir
cles have been putting heavier value
on the promised tax revision and the
move for peace between the admins
tration and the private power COM
panies.
Also tending to support a more
hopeful view of the future is the
current opinion in the steel trade
that the protracted decline in pro-
duction is close to an end at this
weeks estimated level of around 81
per cent.
That the steel trade is now at or
near the bottom of the slump is
widely believed not only in steel cir
cles but in all quarters where busi-
ness trends are studied. 1t is based,
observers said, on the simple reason
ing that no industry whose products
are going steadily into consumption
can remain indefinitely at a 30 per
cent operating rate following a de-
cline so drastic as that recorded in
steel since last August.

CUSTOMS COLLECTIONS
FALL BELOW YEAR AGO

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3-Customs COL
lections in November fell behind the
previous year for the first time since
recovery got under way.
The downturn, however, was looked
on by analysts as measure of reduced
food imports rather than reflection
of slackening industrial activity.
They pointed out drought last year
caused heavy purchases abroad of
grains, meat and the like, which plen-
tiful harvests this summer eliminated.

daily Treasury statement, for the fiscal
