that such corporations did not, fret a

'you, their-own salvation depends upon

' Zisttsra Show Condition.
v Recently the National Association of
Manufacturers sent out a lot of letters
and fro WOO firms that answered sur
trtsln conditions were discovered. To
reach the results the members of the as

"What are the trade probabilities In
your particular Industry?"
' One of the members of this associa
tion told ins every Industry and trade
- but one reported that conditions at pres
ent are good, and most of them said they
'were excellent, while many others re
ported conditions for, 1909-10 as excep
tionally WJgnt.
Nearly all of the great manufactur
ers In making suggestions as to" how
not only to Increase but to maintain
the present prosperity, decried legis
lative curbs and the tendency which
exists to increase the cost of raw ma
terials. No more' tariff tinkering, was
the cry of many more. ."Don't make
matters' worse by , further meddling.
Don't let 'state or national commissions
and new laws ut into our business any
further."
Xt lawmakers Keep Out.
A. gentlemen who keeps In very close
touch with industrial, conditions Here
and in Europe, was much impressed
with the results obtained by the manu
facturer's association Inquiry, and was
very emphatic in declaring that "all

let alone by the lawmakers and 'cura-

to work and rlve work to others. This
flilvernn railroad and class legislation,
labor agitation and tariff tinkering in

Farmers Are Happy.
Farmers are equally as happy as the
manufacturer and the cotton grower
as well as the fruit grower finds not
only a sale but actually s demand at
splendid prices for his product. This Is
the condition I find wherever I go, In
Wall street the brokers are no longer
complaining, while in the banking dis
tricts there Is positive evidence of a
great avalanche of business. The im
porter and exporter, the fish dealer and
the beef packers, .the furniture manu
facturer, and indeed everyone,- but the
pawnshop, seems to be busy getting out
his orders and taking care of the bus!
Hess that comes to him. Drummers
have more orders than they can fill, and
many a Christmas present will come
late this year because ef the. tremendou
rush of prosperity which oomes from

Bankers to Meet at Xioa aneles
New York bankers are looking for
next meeting of the American Bankers'
association, which will be held at Los

pleasure, because many of then go to

banker today,, and he. said the Windy'
City bankers are . delighted to know
they will be abie to go to the coast '
again. "A friend of mine from St. Louis
told . me," lie said. , "he would sooner '
go to the Pacific coast or to New York'
than any other section of the United.
States. Both ends of the country are
more interesting to us than any other." ;
