PORTLAND BANK BULLETIN OPTIMISTIC OVER CONDITIONS The United States National bank of Portland has j'ust issued its spring business digest, and under the caption "Business Conditions as They Appear to Us," fcaid: "Gradually we are returning to Something like normalcy.

The country has been passing through a period of deflation, in fact is yet in it. Some sections of the country have been- hard hit, and the deflation has been quite pronounced, although 'we on the Pacific coast, aind particular ly in Portland, have been compara tively free from serious trouble so far. From the standpoint of the pro ducer, seemingly the bottom has dropped out of prices affecting every thing grown or produced in the Pa cific northwest, but as Roger Babson, the noted statistician, says, there may be some consolation in knowing "that Ihe worst has happened." The drop in prices in the past eight months was the most precipitate known to history, and the fact that we are going on sawing lumber, rais ing wheat, fruit, hay, livestock and other stuffs, despite the- losses sus tained, shows the stability of the peo ple of the country. " "Our producers apparently have taken their full deflation. Lumber is 50 per cent less than a year ago. Wheat, hay, wool, sheep, hogs, cat tle, fruits, of all kinds, potatoes dairy products, eggs and salmon have shared in the decrease in prices and are from 40 to 60 percent less than a year ago, and in most cases below the cost of production. Somewhere near, steady prices should hold for the time being so far as producers are concerned, and they must needs curtail production expenses to meet income with something left for profit. This is certainly a time fo reconomy and attention to business." The University of Maine faculty suspended fifty -six sophomores for hning which consisted of a paddle gauntlet for freshmen.
