On the contrary. But it does seem to indicate that American business in general may hope presently to see prosperity on a fairer, firmer footing, and that overburdened American cons ers may even expect a halt in the bewildering upward rush of prices on all sides which has been by far the most serious and alarming among the hectic symptoms induced in this country by the war, a on JITNEY-MAD?

Tf so, it is time to remind all concerned that this means of tranapor- tation can be only temporary.
