The not al estimate is based on a

about 5.100 000. 000 for non tessels over
a period of five years, at the end of
which time it is assumed that we shall
have a navy titted to our needs.
The war estimate allows for an in-

reports the Economist. is "well em-
ployed," and “the tendency to econo-
mize is less marked than it was up to
about sixty days ago." Collections are
generally satisfactory—which means
that people have money enough to
pay their bills, and are sure enough
of the future so that they don't hesi-
tate to let the money go. Retail mer-
chants are buying more treely. A large
movement of fall and spring merchana

The Pacific Coast, which until late
