WALL Street is financing its losses without the
development of important weak spots. There
have been no failures. but many rumors OF
trouble. put out in great part for effect upon the
stock market, and it is now thought that the
situation as a whole has been strengthened by
the liquidation that has been under way for so
many weeks, and which may run on for some
little time to come. Liquidation of speculative
commitments will serve to lay the foundation
for a much more reasonable stock market than
Wall street mas experienced IN q year OF MORE
while II will tend to readjust the monetary sit
uation in a manner that will further the best
interests Of the country's trade and general i'm
dustries It will be found after time that the
troubles through which Wall Street has been
moving have not deprecated the actual worth
of American investment securities. II will be
found that the country at large has lost no
sleep or money over the shrinkage in the spec
ulative value Of railroad and industrial stocks
that the process Of making the corporations
recognize there is still public conscience has
not weakened the position of our railroad se-
curties as permanent investments. and that the
panicky movement OF Stock Exchange prices
has not reflected decrease in the earning power
Of the people or in the productive capacity OF
the nation; and, incidentally, Wall Street specu-
ators who do not like the President OF the
United States will wake up to the fact that he
has the backing of the substantial, business men
of the country and OF the wage earners in all
departments Of industry. 1t will be found also
that the stocks of solid corporations more
widely distributed in the hands OF small in
vestors than ever before recorded on the stock
books of railroad and industrial companies.
