NEW YORK, July 16.-The panicky
feeling which has been prevalent in
Wall Street lately, due to an avalanche
OF liquidation, was absent this morning
The reversal of sentiment was caused
by the optimistic utterances OF lead
ing bankers that there was nothing
wrong among financial institutions or
anything disQuieting to be observed in
the country's industries. Wall Street
and Pittsburg were the only gloomy CEN
ters, they said.
Floor traders who switch their mar

vantage of the change in feeling and
opened prices as high as possible to
force the weak bear following to cover
This was effected, but as soon as the

GODDESS Of FREEDOM
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Touched Five Times by the
Electric Fluid.
BRONZE NOW HAS RICH TINT
Recent Restoration Successfully Ac-
comPlished-Neariy $4,000 Spent in
Capitol Repairs Last Year.

The storm god has been ungallant In
his treatment of the Goddess OF Freedom.
Five times lightning has struck the
young woman on the dome of the Capt.
tol and left traces OF its violence.
In a report which Elliott Woods. su-
perintendent Of the Capitol building and
grounds. has just submitted to the Secre-
tary of the Interior the deDlorable con-
dition in which the statue was found
is described.
Robe Lightning Conductor.
The robe Of the stately young woman
bristles with points designed to attract
lightning and conduct 1t off in such a
manner that it will not injure the
statue or the dome of the building. A
careful examination of these points
previous to the recent repairs on the
Capitol showed that four had been
knocked OF by electricity. Feathers in
the goddess head dress had also been
ruined by lightning and other traces
OF the force OF the strokes were found
about the figure.
Recent Restoration.
Mr. Woods states in his report that
the bronze figure was coated with a
white deposit when the metal workers
began the restoration of the statue a
few weeks ago. Beneath this coating
was the rich green effect which age
lends to bronze, and which is so much
admired The white coating was removed
successfully and painters colored the
iron base on which the figure stands. to
harmonic with the rich bronze.
Repairs to the Capitol during the fiscal
year which has just closed cost S5S, ,750,
and $4,000 was expended in improve
ments. Mr. Elliptt's report also con-
tains a statement of the cost of re-
pairs on the buildings in the Botanic
Gardens

Private cables from London early to-

to buy American stocks. Prices showed
substantial advances. New York Cen

Nobody can explain the continued
slump in prices. Instead of covering by
shorts on the rise at opening today
more long stock came out and prices
again went down. The consensus of
opinion is favorable. and the belief is
general that the slump has been senti-
mental, almost hysterical. Business and
