This (s not only true of the west, where condition* are sound and promising, but also in ths east, where the depression has boon moat sever*, [Railroad traffic is recovering, and tho S -umber of Idle cars )s steadily diminish ing. Earnings of 37 roads reporting tho third week of September showed de creases of le«s than 4 per cent, whereas in July and August th# same roads were showing losses of If to 17 per cent. Sep tembers bank clearings showed an in crease of I per cent over the same month last year, a fact which is surprising In view of the prevailing quietness of busi ness; and while stock exehango. activity probably accounted for much of the In- crea&e In clearings at New York, the gains reported from many cities in va rious part* of the country prove beyond question that business is surely though slowly reviving-In spite of a political campaign. If other evidences of recov- e.-y are desired they can be easily found. Improved conditions In the money mar ket have carried natural and much need ed relief In various directions. Bankers, although In a discriminating mood, will now lend with greater freedom on ail sound and legitimate enterprises. Real estate Is feeling the advantage of this relief: property Is changing hands more freely, and better class developments which were blocked by the panic aro be ing carried out with more promise. Now to * mortgages can be more readily ■■■Pbuilding operations aro being re-. Isumed under more favorable auspices,) encouraged by the lower prices for build ing materials and more settled labor con dition n. In consequence there has been a bettor demand for constructive shapes in steel and Iron; lumber la more active, and the various metals are stronger. Ac cording to th# best statistical authorities the n«-w construction work contracted for In September Ip the leading oltles wgs 7 per cent greater than a year ago, and In the city of New York alpne the In crease was U per cent; a much more gratifying exhibit than expected.. Mills In different parts [’of the country, which have been shut down either owing to dull business or tire drouth, aro starring up and many that have teen running on short time are preparing to run full time. In many Instances moderate con cessions have been made In wages; and there Is no doubt that If the elections prove ratlsfactory there will follow a widespread improvement In th© volume of business. The first question to be asked la how long will this Improvement last In view of to* fact that the country will short ly be precipitated Into a sharp tariff saltation, both parties being pledged to revMon. Tariff changes are always un settling; tho uncertainty as to what will be done usually being a more serious Imatter than the actual changes. For tunately. tha country 1# In some respect* better able to stand tariff discussion than lever before.
