ELEMENT OF PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINATIONS TEND TO RE.
STORE CONFIDENCE.

New York, May 29.-For the first
general agreement hero that the
prosperity which has been so much
discussed and So eagerly watched
for is actually returning. The error
which too many of the eager enthu-
siasts have made heretofore has been
in expecting the Wheels of industry
to resume their interrupted revolu-
tions at full speed Immediately. This
of course Is impossible but it it evil
dent to one who goes about the city
that there is a feeling of encourage
ment in almost every line of business
Wall street shows this influence
plainly I'm the upward trend of prices
and Wall street is a pretty accurate
barometer of general conditions. I'm.
doubtedly there has been manipula-
ton by big financial operators to en-
courage the rise. but the very fact
that they have selected the pres Mt
period for these operations shows
that they consider the time ripe for
the beginning of the upward turn.
The excellent prospects for good
crops throughout the country and the
fact that the situation In regard to
the presidential nominations Is be-
coming more settled are regarded by
the financial experts of the down
town district as factors aiding in the
return of confidence.
