GROSS, Financial Editor, Detroit Jewish Chronicle. -- --- A tremendous wave of optimism is slowly but surely overtaking the minds of most commercial leaders and bankers in the country. Optim. Ism for the future an greater bust . nese In the not distant future. On till sides of us, in all business organ- izations and in all business clubs and liewspapors, one reads and hears of the favorable changed condition of the money markets, of the manufac- turers and of the retailers. The titian- cial condition is adjusting Itself sub- stantially and quickly, quickly when tine considers the gigantic volumes involved. The factory wheels are be. ginning to turn and immediately at - ter January lot, and from then on, the momentum of the factory will in- crease rapidly. Retailers In all cities have had a much larger Christmas busimwo than they anticipated. This will have a most important effect on all industries, as it will mean the un- hustling of merchandise which has been bought and kohl at the former high prices. Many leaders in business and in- dustry believe that a substantial change of present trade conditions will take place around March 1st. 1921. There is no doubt but what De- troit industry will earnestly corn. monce operations about that time as the history of same in the past has proven this conclusively. It is most true, and very happily so, that commerce today is conducted on much saner and more substantial lines than was the case seven or eight months ago. Business concerns are not branching so actively and so blindly as they did then. Of course, the tremendous change which has talon place in all branches of com- merce have forced this condition, and while it Is a great strain to readjust one's self and business to meet the present conditions, still we are com- ing to a sound and substantial level which will place us in a healthy, even condition in the course of a short time, we hope. A most interesting talk on the char- acteristic changes in business con- cerns was recently given by A. Bur- ton Hepburn, Chairman of the Advis- ory Board of the Chase National Bank, a part of which follows: "So far the improvement consists mainly in the psychological change in the public's attitude toward bust. nem Six months ago each individual enterprise seemed bound to make money, no matter what might hap- pen to others; they were going ahead branching out. buying away labor from other enterprises by offering higher wages and doing anything that promised a profit In their own line of business.

Mr. Ilepbuni pointed out that with living costs b.:outing less, labor can afford to accept a reduction in wages.
