WASHINGTON. January 3a Tha Tull eteed ahead ha been Issued- with respect to business. men her ar displaying a good deal mors Interest tn this Information than In th legislation that la pending before the congress or In the problema. vexatious as they may be.

nith which th Fresident is dtaltnc. The best source of information her aa to business conditions ta. wf course, the I'nited t-tate treasury, and that de partment th mc th controller of tbe currency. Whea the controller's otTio says that tne purs strings ar being loosened It does not speak on hearsay evidence, but base th assertion on official Information, and this statement la now made without any resarvaUon, From every part of th country comes the Information that buslnnaa haw atarted forward with great conf.dencw. It js as serted tnat tn banks, which for a coa- siderabl period had been extremely con eervatlv in extending credit, ar now.

tn many Instance, actually seeking to lend money. Testimony to this effect Is not only coming to th treasury department. out io many putxic men in communlca tlons from their constituents. 4 Refused Offers of Money. For In st nee.

Representative Cdaaa. ef Virginia, tha joint author with Owen, of Oklahoma, of tho federal reaerv legislation, related today that during th week received calls from two men who ar Interested In extensive business enterprises. One of thee men waa from I'ennsylvanla and the other from Mich Iran. said to Representative Glass that whereas be was unable three months ago to get money with which tn carry on bualneea. he Is now having to refuse money prof erred htm by hla bankers.

The rate of Interest has also fallen. It Is generally known that while tli banking and currency legislation waa under consideration ther wss a tightening up In money matter. Bankers throughout th country very generally curtailed credit. Some of the more conservative financial Institutions practically refused to put out money at all. Thla action on the part of the banker led some persona to believe that there was a concerted effort on the part of the bankers to defeat banking and currency legislation.

Pursued Conservative Course. As a matter of fact, the bankers wera really pursuing an extremely conaerva tlv course while awaiting developments. witn tn enactment ofth federal re serve Uw there came a change. The lnkers Immediately acerteo. the new legislation without reservation, and of the seventy-five hundred national I Minks in i.i country, more than six thouaand have already Indicated a desire tn help make th new federal reserve system a success The financial experts find It difficult to explain tn sudden loosening of th purse strings.

Most of them seem to believe that the confidence with which the new federal reserve system baa been received haa had much to do with the change. The country also seems to. hsve become convinced, at last, that the Wilson administration has no quarrel with honest business. The failure of the new tariff law to precipitate trouble for manufacturers has also, the experts say. undoubtedly had a good deal to do with th restoration of confidence.

Improvement In Europe. According to th Information that Is coming Into th tresaury department, the financial Improvement In conditions Is world-wide. It la pointed out. for In stance, that th Bank of England has re duced Its Interest rat three time this month, and that th Bank of Franc has reduced lta rate simultaneously with the Bank of England. Naturally thla chsnge for the better across th water ha been reflected in New Tork city, and the New York In-r ne nee Jm felt throughout the United Plate.

The foreign merchandise credit fig urea published yesterday have. It la asserted, had a good effect on business. These figures showed th exces of exports over Imports of merchandise for th year to be iCUT7.S4. Week-end Reports. This surpassed any previous record In th history of the country.

Along with this showing ram" that other showing that. In spit of th new tariff law. which aom persons said would flood tbe United States with the cheap goods of 1'urop, there was a decrees of Imports during the year. The week-end Industrial reports from every section of the United Htate are most encouraging. They tell of renewed activity along every Industrial line.

According to these report tbe steel Industry will oon be back to her It was befor the world-wtle depression In business came on. nd from New Eurland cornea tbe story that the textile mills are preparing for one of th busiest season they have ever bad.
