OF IMPROVED BUSINESS.
W \BHINQTON—CarefuI attention
Is being given nt this time by the
oflldals of the treasury for Indica
tions as they arise In the operations
of the Department that there Is to be
an Improvement of business with the
; opening of the fall trade. In many
ways the business of the department
In Its relations to the people through

dences of the general conditions.
Making note of these facts. Assistant
! Secretary t'oolldge. who Is In charge
| of the public moneys branch and the
affairs of the national hanks In Ihelr
| relations to the department, said to
day regarding the outlook:
"That busier times arc at hand Is
Indicated by a gradual Improvement
In conditions shown through the ordl
nary operations of the treasury. Our
custom receipts are looking up. They
have shown considerable Improve- \
ment during the last few weeks, and
while they are not ~t runtnufl to thS
figures of a year ago, we have every
reason to look for a continued ad
vance. Our Internal revenue collee
lions are also higher than they were.
For the rurrent month they have run
almost even with the receipts for the
corresponding period last year These
are obvious causes for gratification
"Our sub-treasuries report an In
crease in demand for subsidiary and
fractional coins The demand for
small coins Is always a pretty good
thermometer of business activity and
during the past year It has been very
small Indeed, but tber,. has been a
noticeable change In the past few
weeks. It ts also significant that
fewer national bank notes are receiv
ed for current redemption than was
the case a few weeks ago
"Ever since the first of Jjtnuarv
the Increasing tide of bank notes for
redemption has been unprecedented
In volume. It Is only within the last
few weeks that we have noticed a
turn tn the tide. Indicating, for one
thing, that the bank curt»-ney Is being
! gradually absorbed tn business. These
I are some of the things which encour
age us to look for Iw-tter times."
