FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York. May 24--News affairs last week were accepted as showing improving conditions and the action of the securities market. although some what unsettled and breaking violently at the end. was not interpreted as be- lieving this acceptance.
 There have been heavy accumulations of stocks through a considerable pre- ceding period on the assumption that the then existing protractton of anairs might be assumed to represent the turn of the tide, with betterrnent to follow With the demonstration of the actual improvement there was large selling to take profits. At the same time a more belated demand for se- curities was in evidence, which served as a favorable medium for digestion of speculative profits. The result was a broad, active and varied market. The daily average of sales at the stock eX- change has been well over a million shares and Wednesdays total of 1,400,- 900 was the largest since the days of the silent panic" in March of 1907.
 Probably the most decisive factor in forming the conviction of positive improvement in business was the en- larged demand for iron. Price conces- sions in that commodity had become general and without any formal. aoan-
 
 producers to maintain prices. Placing of orders on a growing scale was the consequence Iron Is proverbially the great basic industry and speculative markets accept It's action as an almost infallible index of the future course of trade in general Advices from other mercantile lines were at the same time, more encouraging and buyers were reported to be placing orders with more confidence than has been shown since before the panic of last October. Conhdnce in the present promise of the crops remained unimpaired.
 The weeks active speculation in se- curities was characterized by a large number of rumors, pointing to concert ed measures among groups of powerful capitalists, calculated to enhance the vaiue of their properties. Much was heard of a supposed approaehment be- tween the Gould. Hartman and Rocke- feller interests. and these reports ap- naled strongly to the speculative imag- nation. although they remained with out authentic veriication. The ad- vance on prices was the more pro. nounced as inferences were drawn of assurance of financial resources which would extricate important corporations from threatened embarrassmenta iR carrying out projects to which they were committed,
