BUSINESS OUTLOOK VERY ENCOURAGING Improvement Shou d Continue Barring Unfavorable Developmen:s. (Special to the Herald) New York, Jan. 23.—The cepfidence noted for past is already expressing itself business improvement. Since the re- opéning of the Stock Exchange values of active stocks have risen on an average of from § to 7 points and in some cases the advance has been as much as ten points, and over. So far, the rise has been ac- complished without any important rise some in | | weeks I in LED DOUBLE LIFE, LORLYS E. ROGERS Tealizing either by foreign or domes- ' The market shows a of activity and ldc interests. steady broadening . gives every indication of a sound and | healthy change for the better. Among | the most encouraging elements have | z‘een the ease of money, the adjust- ent of credit to war conditions and . the extraordinary expansion in our _‘export trade. The low rates for money stimulated the inquiry for long t&em bonds, which are likely to sell at considerably better than current prices. We are still sending large quantities of grain, cotton and war material to KEurope. These move- ments will inevitably continue for sume time to come, and 'would be even more active were it not for the diffi- culty of finding outward freight room. In view of the heavy decrease in im- portations, conditions favor gold im- ports. These, however, are likely to e resisted by European governments because of the desire to retain gold during the war. Nearly every IKuro- pean nation has established large credits in the United States, pre- sumably to pay for the exigencies of war. Great Britain, moreover, has temporarily prohibited . new capital issues until more sure of its own war afirancing, the result of which will be te make still greater demands upon the United States for funds. This country has lately given an amazing exhibition of financial strength, which will vastly augment its prestige In the money markets of the world. One result of the war has been to turn the attention of American manufac- gturers to the great opportunities export trade. An active campaign is already being carried on in this direc- tion which is likely to result in an important expansion of American foreign trade in manufactures. Hitherto raw products have consti- tuted too large a proportion of our “ shipments. We desire to sell the products of our mills to foreigners as “well as the products of our farms, General Business Improving. General business shows signs of im- ‘provement. Bank clearings, which are gerferally accepted as a fair Parometer of trade conditions, at all points in the United States showed a decrease of only three per cent. in the first week of January. The W beaviest shrinkage was, of course, in the Eastern States, where financial and industrial depression combined to emphasize reaction. Outside of the Fastern States, however, the reaction is not particularly severe, and many localities show handsome gains over last year, particularly in the grain districts, To a considerable extent the present depression in business is a state of mind originating in the financial and industrial centers where initiative usually begins. With a continuance of the present improvement in confi- dence further business activity should be éxpected, especially when the com- ing of spring permits the resumption of outdoor work. The steel trade is \ghowing more or less improvement. Tair orders have been placed for rails, rolling stock, etc., and present low » prices are quite likely to stimulate the i demand for construction material. the textile trades there is also widening of activity. Cotton are, in better request owing & low prices, and a decidedly optimistic tone prevails in some branches of the tex- ‘le industry, notably the hosier) trade. In a Not Entirely Satisfactory, The railroad situation i not entire- 1y satisfactory owing to the small volume of traffic on many lines, especially in the South, where delay In the cotton movement has retarded “business. The conflict of authority between state and federal regulation of rates arising out of the recent rate decigion ig also a drawback, although it only delays somewhat the date when higher rates go into effect On the other hand the roads running through the grain district are enjoy- Ing a lJarger traffic, and our trans- ccntinental lines promise to do a » better tourist business than usual be- ‘cauge of the approaching opening of the Panama exhibitions at San Fran- cisco and San Diego. Thé war will practically suspend tourist travel Furope, and greatly stimulate it in the United States. Here is one consider- able offset to the war generally over- looked. As American tourists annual- _lv spend nearly $300.000,000 on their “yummer travels abroad, and the bulk of this will be spent at home this year, considerable aid to husiness will come from this source. There is no occasion for modifying the very hopeful views expressed these advices for several weeks past; in fact, we see no reason why absence of unfavorable developments. Bc far as the stock market cerned a steady broadening tivity is expected, the recent rise the inducements for realizing will increase as the advance progresses. of ag- HENRY CLEWS ‘() 10\ lxl' PORT.

Old Eli Graduates Renew Old Ac- quaintances and Pay Tribute to Their Alma Mater. Hartford Jan. 23.—There will, in future, be no letters from Yale grad- | uates in Hartford to the “Yale Alum- ni Weekly” on the decadence of the old Yale spirit, for the old Yale spirit was present in force and blat- antly evident at the thirtieth annual of the Yale Alumni associa- tion of Hartford at the Hartford club last night. Three hundred Yalensians of all classes, ranging from the hoary classes of the 70's to the infant class of 1914, were present to pay their tri- bute “to God to Country and to Yale,” last night, and to renew old associa- tions. Gov. Holcomb and Ex-Gov. Baldwin a Yale graduate, sitting side by side, several state senators, busi- ness men and insurance men of prom- inence were there, and near them the | graduates of but six months’ standing. { Sons of Yale all, they forgot all dis- tinctions. Kven Trinity men —mirabale dictu-——Harvard men,mem- bers of the Hartford club, when they appeared in the balcony, were greeted with Yale cheer and with songs of their colleges. Iilihu Yale and President Hadley were there, too, but on the screen only. And as the “Undertaker’s Song” rolled forth despite letters from super-sensitive graduates to the “Alumni Weekly"” protesting against this famous Y& song, a great Yale cheer went up.

Four wise and frisky young men, scions of four of the first families of New Britain's elite, were deeply hu- miliated and barely escaped arrest last night at the Lyceum theater when they sneaked into the gallery without paying their way. Whether the young men payment of their tickets on a bet, on a dare or really did it with an intent to cheat the management is not known, but they did it and when caught suffered a few minutes of anxiety. Their names are withheld by the employes of the management because of the feeling for their fam- ilfes. While the quartet thought they were working a slick trick and jollied themselves into thinking they were safe when they managed to sneak past the ticket taker and sit down in the gallery they were doomed to disappointment, for they were dis- covered and when the curtain dropped at the conclusion of the first act they werce approached by Officer Murphy and invited to go down stairs and interview the ticket seller. Their alternative was a ride in the police patrol. It did not take the four “wise guys'" long to make their decislon and in single file they lined up before the ticket window and each one laid down the ten cents they had tried so hara to save. evaded OPENS LAW OFFICE.

SUITS FOR STOUT WOMEN ECIALTY, A Some sales are held the only reason that stores want to hold them. Other sales are born of real necessity, they are natural events in a store’s calendar, nec- essary that stocks may be bright and fresh each season. Katten's January Sale falls into the latter class. It is a logical event, if prices are cut deeply; it is the thing to be done. Stocks must be disposed of. buy- ing opportunities are greater than ever, for owing to abnormal bus- iness conditions, we have on hand about twice the amount of goods usually carried at this time. It's a great chance for real bargains.
