STREET, NEW BRITAIN | ADVENT OF SPRING 10 “BRING IMPROVEMENT * oo Trade Shows Satisfactory Symptems of Recovary. (Special to the Herald.) New York, March \6.—The drift of affairs this week has been more en- scouraging. Congress adjourned, much to the relief of business men . with large responsibilities; and the ‘war, while lacking in decisive events, promises to be of shorter dura- tion than sometimes feared. Home business conditions are cer- tainly becoming more satisfactory. There is no doubt that domestic trade ,; conditions are generally sound. The volume of business, it is true, is very moderate. This is partially due to lack of confidence and universal cor- servatism. The number of unem- ployed is large; rallroad earnings and bank clearings confirm trade inactiv- ity, and the spirit of economy has al- most everywhere supplanted the spir- ) LESS MEAT IF BACK AND KIDNEYS HURT Take a Glass of Salts to Fush Kidneys if »sladder Bothers You— Drink Lots of Water. Fsorg meat regularly eventually s preduces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known author- ity, because the uric acid in meat ex- pites the kidneys, they become over- worked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches. acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder # and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts ‘or kidneys aren’t acting right, or if blad- der bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in'a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then + act fine. This famous salts is made trom the acid of grapes and ' lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush slogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids In the urine so it no longer frritates, thus ending bladder disor- ders.

The cotton belt is an ex- ception, inasmuch as it feels the re- duction of foreign demand as well as the lower prices which growers are forced to accept. What the next sea- son will bring to the south is amn in- teresting problem, since it is certain that less cotton will be grown more grain. Canada, too, is making strenuous efforts to increase will plainly reflect war influences. Europe will be obliged to grow less on her farms during the coming sea- son, and it will remain for other por- tions of the world, especially North America, to make good the deficien- cies. One of the most satisfactory symptoms of recovery is the slow but sure increase of activity in the iron trade. Orders are coming in more freely for many steel products, and the proportion of unemployed plant is steadily decreasing. Better prices are also occasionally obtained; although this industry still has much room for improvement before normal condi- tions are attained. There is more- over a better feeling and some lessen- ing of depression in the cotton and woolen industries, which for months have been much embarassed by dull business and serious uncertainties in the cotton and wool markets arising { from the war. The distributing branches of trade are generally in sound condition, and though the vol- ume of business continues below nor- mal, jobbers are wusually -carrying small supplies and their credit posi- tion is sound. With the advent of | spring some improvement is inevit- able. Construction work will begin and transportation will resume sea. sonal activity. Foreign Trade Deranged. Our foreign trade is still much de- ranged, and imports show a persist- ent decline which will temporarily impair the national revenue from cus- government financing later on. Ex- ports are well maintained in spite of returns show a continued liberal ex- | cess of exports. This large balance is, of course, being reduced by the un- seen items in the foreign trade ac- count but exchange has been hover- ing around the gold importing point and further sums of the precious metal may come this way at time; considerable amount having ar- rived this week. The influx of gold is being discouraged, however, by the return of securities from abroad, and partly owing to a disposi- tion among bankers on both sides to aliow gold to remain where it needed, which of course is on other side. The grain movement has | nearly reached its climax; and when and | her | wheat crop; so that the next harvest | Througout ou|the Dardanelles are opened the out- little { pour of Russian grain will check our exports and restrain high prices here. Money Exceedingly The money situation is exceeding- Easy. 1y Demands for commodation are of course small, and funds are now returning from the agricultural- districts. The outlook is consequently for easy rates for some time to come, excepting the slight stringency which may develop as usual around the first of April. There is unquestionably a larger amount of funds awaiting investment than is generally supposed. Lack of con- fidence has induced many investors to hold back for more assuring con- ditions. The belief that European liquidation is incomplete and that the placing of enormous government issues abroad will insure better rate:s for capital has also been a factor in making investors hesitate. Security holders have had to face very dis- couraging influences abroad and at home. So far as the war is con- cerned, it looks s if its very severity would hasten the end. Public opin- ion has been considerably stirred by the embargo activities of the bellig- erents; but the worst effects of these movgments have already been felt, and there is no reason for Americans to take other than calm and hobeful views of the outcome. Peace cannot ibe expected immediately since the better prospects of success to the al- lies will only strengthen their deter- easy. business ac- mination to carry the struggle to an | end which they deem satisfactory The strain of the war upon the bel- | | ligerents has thus far been less severc ! than might be expected. ain is showing extragrdinary financial | strength, having so far met expenses toms and may necessitate some new | restrictive conditions and the latest | partly | with little difficulty, and also afford- ed important financial aid to Russia, Belgium = and other belligerents N ENIERTAINENT AT CENTER CHURCH Young People Gvz Annual Affair for Genefit of Vacation Schaol A successful entertainment for the benefit of the Daily Vacation Bible school was held last night the Center Congregational the auspices of the Young People's society. A good sum was realized from the sale of tickets and candy. More than forty persons took part i In the entertainment, which consist- ed of two plays, a broom drill, an i Oberetta, and a number of solos. | Miss Elsie Hess opened the program with Chopin’s “Polona The com- | edy. sketch, “No Cure, No Pay” fol- lowed. the Misses Cora Beale, Frances Doo- little, Gertrude Strosser, a Beale Hildur Ahlstrom, ® Hes and Fay Leavitt. Miss Strosser as gct” and Miss Eda Beale as the deaf aunt played parts that were particu- larly laughable. All combined to cure | Mrs. Languis the woman whose | health was failing, which was played by Miss Cora Beale. The make-ups of the characters in “The I'reedom of the Press,” the play given by the hoys, were appropriate, as well as extreme. Andrew Robh was “O’Brien,” the wild Irishman; Emory Corbin took the part of one of the sporting fraternit: Edward Bassett appcared as ““Sorts” the print- ers’ devil, and tore Shakespearc to tatters at every breath; Roy Buell played “Funcombe,” the aggrarian lawmaker; Ward Maier was the svaring poet; Arthur Atwell played | “Niglitshade,” representing the pest who tries to sell cheap fiction to pub- lications; Wesley Hosford was | little,” an editor for an hour, Albert Hess was the real boss. The broom drill given by a chorus ‘n[ about twenty young ladies was one of the pleasing features of the en- | tertainment. Each girl was dressed in pink, each had pink cheeks and each wielded a.broom. “All Aboard For Boston” was the operetta presented by a quartet, con- sisting of Miss Ruth Schade, con- | tralto; Miss Frances so- { prano; Oliver Hoyem, tenor; , Curtis, accompanist. P Miss Margaret Mueller gave two vio- lin solos. Miss Ruth Schade sang “The Fairy Pipers” and “Philosophy” and August Klein sang “The Sun of the Desert.” Miss Jean Cochrane, who was scheduled to sing a number Scotch songs, was unable to ap- | pear because of an attack of laryn- gitis. at “Doo- and Vater, Mis§ Pauline SEARCHING FOR $120,000.

The New York stock market has responded to better and shows general tendency. Speculation is not active, but prices influences a rising experienced considerable fluctuation. | A fair degree of activity was shown in the bond market, partly owing to sales on foreign account. There is good buying, however, of the better class of bonds, prices well sustained. With the close of congress, business men will have re- i lief from the harass of hostile legis- any | lation, Fortunately therc has been a decided abatement of the opposition | to railroads and large industrial cor- porations, which when other condi- | tions permit will materially aid busi- ness recovery. Mr. Wilson has prom- ised to give big business a fair chance, and it is to be hoped that nothing will interfere with the free and full execution of this promise. HENRY CLEWS., of which are | K.
