TRADE OUTLOOK HAZY.
"Never has there been a moment when it was more difficult to discern amidst the confusion of contemporary events the main tren4 and- tendency of trade," remarked Mr. J. 0. M. Clark, chairman of J. and P. Coats, Ltd., cotton thread manufacturers. "People who are well placed to judge tell me that there are visible signs which suggest, that business as a whole has now entered upon an ascending curve. I hope this is so, although our own figures as far as, the present year has gone do not bear it out. Recovery is, in my opinion, certain to be slow, and there are sure tr^ be very considerable fluctuations. These matters fie outside the ambit of our control. The most' that we can achieve is to meet as efficiently as we may each emergency as it arises, and constantly to endeavour to better the organisation of the compnny. By this means alone can we hope to secure that when prosperity returns we shall be in the best possible position to avail ourselves fully of our opportunities."
