Several years ago complaints

The Forest service. quick to see the
Justice Of these complaints, recon-
mended at first that 10 per cent, and
later that 25 per cent Of the gross pro-

New York Oct 23-There was de-
cided prosperity in the speculation last
week to look to the coming close of the
political campaign which is expected
to release the financial and business
world from depression. Much of the ac
tivty in the stock market was based
on the assumption of the good results

only notable advances in prices caused
by speculative buying, but conSidera-
BILE subsequent reactions, due to the
realizing of profits, thus covering the
full cycle of a speculative movement
in business has been anticipated in the
stock market movement, in fact, aWak-
ems some sentiment of caution in the
seasoned speculative element over the
possible large following which will be
met in the movement to take profits
when election uncertainties are once
out of the way.
The week was one Of anniversaries
of the incidents of last years panic.
and this was made the occasion of rem
iniScenceS and comparisons which were
Illuminating as to the extent of the
ground traVerSed and the progress
made since that deplorable period. In
the matter of price quotations of
stocks. the approach during the present
movement to the high levels of last
years prices, before misgivings had
begun to arise and while the country s
prosperity was believed to be at full
tide, proves a surprise to the inconsid
crate. The showing is the more re-
markdble, since the prices of the early
part of the present year, after the first
rebound following the panic had re-
ceded again to the neighborhood of the
low prices touched in the panic, and,
in some cases to a lower point.
The advance in price from the panic
level shown by the quotations current
last week. in consequence show some
large figures. Union Pacific. for in
