Secretary Iiryan announced yesterday receipt of the note from Great Britain replying to the American communication of December 28, respecting American commerce. The note, which la of about the aame length aa the American communica Clon will be made public Sunday after noon by mutual agreement between the atate department and the British foreign office. Official Refuse to Comment. Offlclala of the atate department read the note carefully but agreed to make no comment on it whatsoever in advance of the publication of the test. Secretary Bryan will discuss It with Trealdent Wllaon on the latler'a return. That the British communication ia inconclualve in many reapecta fend will lead to a further exchange of notea waa learned from authoritative quar ters. Although many concesalona to neutral commerce have been made by England through embargoes on re exportation recently with Italy and Holland, Borne of the points raised in the American note, such aa proof at the time of detention of ships and length of time required for examina tion, will necessitate further argu ment between the atate department and the British foreign office before a definite understanding ia reached. Nolo In lrcUmlnary, The British nolo is preliminary in the we mho that It ia confined to a gen eral statement of the situation in an swer to tho Anivrican document, and will be followed later by a more de tailed statement on specific cases. While the communication points out the peculiar necessities of belligerents In the momentous struggle In Europe, It Is phrased In a spirit of frankness and friendliness.

The Spirit of Optimism Prevails Over Year 1915 EUROPEAN BANKERS AGAIN ENTERING AMERICAN MARKET HOLLAND COXCKII.V NOTIFIES HEIMCKKENTATIVFX TO HE OPEN BUSINESS. Indicating a much more hopeful outlook in the world money market la the re-entrance of European fi nancial Institutions into the money lending business In this country. James Johns, president of the Hart man Abstract Co. which represented the Hypotheek company of Holland, returned this morning from Spokane with the announcement that that com pany as well as other European hous es had notified their representatives to get Into the market again. At . the outbreak of tne European war, all of these companies Immedi ately shut down operations In this country and their representatives were required to get money where they could to take care of their old custo mers. Now, however, the financial situation has either adjusted Itself to the turmoil on the other side of the earth or else the financiers see signs of peace nhead. This Is the general Interpretation placed upon their re HUmntion of business here, These European banking houses hav mil lions of dollars loaned In the north west, The Bradstreels review of 19)4 and forecast for the year 116 contains a spirit -of optimism re garding the future. The hope Is expresaed that the new tariff and the ship regUtry bill will bring the country new customers and the view g expressed that we will gain much of Europe's lost trade. The currency law is given great praise. . The portion of the review dealing with the future Is aa fol lows: IXJOKINO FOUWAKD. With the results of 1U. that 'year of a hundred years' in mind, one would be rash who would pin himself down to hard and fast predictions aa to the course of 1915 trade, fin the stock market theory that nil the had news Is out, any possible changes would seem to lie for the better. It needs to be remembered that fol lowing the first crash of hostili ties and the succeeding recupera tion, the effect of ths immense war expenditures has been a' stimulating one, and European as well us American industries catering In any way to war con4 dltions have been accelerated. It was so In our civil war, and there U historical basis for the claim that replacing the waste of war has often given an impetus to a varied line of Industries. The fi nancial results, the debts piled up, the ruin of the fought-over regions, the industries destroyed, the lives lost, the trade formerly possessed g(Uie beyond recall, must be left to the future to re cord, but It must be remembered i that the world as a whole Inevit ably pays the bill as truly as the business community pays the loss from failure or from fire. The . lot of the neutral in the war is not an alt6gether pleasant one We in this country have felt this already but as tba leading neu tral country, a position which It is to be hoped we will retain, we seem destined to fall heir to much of Europe's lost trade. On the surface of things. It might be said that we have completed In the form of bankruptcies a vast volume of liquidation that, hurt ful as It has been, will not need to be done over again. We now have a real currency system, and the time-honored American panic seems to have lost most of Its power for evil, n Is to be hoped that the bulk of our recent legis lation, but notably the tariff and the ship registry bills, will bring us new customers. Our crops have been large and. even with the loss in cotton, have brought nearly as much money as the beat of previous years. Our con duct as a nation has made, not lost, us friends among the belli gerents, and some of the events of the year have taught our man ufacturers and statesmen ,the val ue, Indeed, the necessity, of strengthening our Industrial- re sources, where the war has dem- onstrated that weaknesses exist. All In all, the American business man seems justified In taking leave of 19H with few regrets and more hopes than seemed pos sible at some disturbed periods In the recent past. tresses north of Warsaw.
