Press agentry is looking up. For the
first time in the history Of the country,
a recognized press agent has been regu-
larry employed to elect a President OF
the United States.

in New York would change for the bet
ter and that the worst was over.
The meeting of the Mitchell Mining
shareholders last night was referred ID
in conversation on the board. as a most
remarkable demonstration of confidence
in the new management. At that meet

NEW YORK, Oct 24-Noon-Wah
Street Is still suffering, and owners OF
securities are forced TO watch millions
OF dollars of shrinkage hour after hour,
with but little hope. Some investors are
getting In every now and then in the
hope that the bottom has been reached

investments on the rarest bargain
counter that New York has known for
years, only TO ind their securities

been expected.
The cross Of the rich men has been
hard to bear, but it is just as true that
many who are not rich are in the throes
of trouble over losses on investments
locked up and depended upon for the
rainy day. Here and there, all over
the country. banks are showing the re-
suit of the long overstralned demands
of business for credit until the break

destruction of confidence viii take more
millions from circulation and lock It up
in safety deposit boxes and boarding

whole country much as some hopeful
optimists assert to the contrary.
As stated before, il is well that this
denouemefft came at time when the
market had passed through a serious
period Of continued depression and that
the public is not in stocks. The men
who are forced to meet the perils OF the
day are not margin traders; they have
