New York,-A spirit of confidence
in the present and bopefulness for the
future was present in the financial
district last week and found its re-
fiection in the firm undertone of the
stock market. The action of that in
dex of the financial opinion was af-
fected by the near approach of the
national elections, owing to the fact
that that event has been looked for
ward to as marking a definite period
of repression and withholding of or
ders in all departments of industry,
which would be released for execution
The stock market gave proof that
the effective control in which 1t is
held and which is believed TO be ex-
ercised by groups of the wealthiest
capitalists in the country was not re-
linquished 1t is not necessary to go
back to the opening period of 1907 to
find record of prices higher than
those touched last week by the finan-
cial stocks.

fourth street, which all New York has
been watching for a year as it rose
story by story higher above the ground,

pains

original plans now being carried out, its
owners have decided TO carry It several
stories higher, and have authorized the
architects. y. lie Brun & Sons. to make
its total height a round 200 feet above
the sidewalk.
According TO the first designs. the
tower was TO be fOrty-eight stories. or
SIS feet tall The additional forty-two
feet will give four more stories, or
ffty-twO in ali. besides two more be-
low the street level. This will make the
metropolitan tower lightweight feet
taller than the Singer building, which
only rises a trife OF 612 feet above the
street level.

in calling for a division instead Of a
