business is improving.
'Times were much harder mid money
much tighter in New York than Ore-

the country has Inst confidence in Wall

"I think that the hard times were
manufactured by Wall street for polit

They, and not the president, are get

"Collections east are still slow. New

t here is a gradual improvement along

Mr. ( 'linniplin brought, new machin
