RETURNING PROSPERITY:
There are many signs that prosperity
has returned to this country along
with the general belief that Mr.. Taft
will be elected in tn Fall, and one
of them is the way that stocks anu
bonds are raising in price In Wall-st
These stocks are simply promises 10
pay the holders a certain part OF prof'
its of certain businesses and their val
ue depends entirely on the chances
Of the business to make profit.
Last winter when 1t was feared that
there would he a good deal of hard
times and that then would be no prof
its for some time the prices went wa
down. Since, the prices have gone up
steadily. and last Saturday night the
total value of the different stocks
which represent the fifty biggest con-
Germs Of the country was s2.514. 663, $50
greater than last winter This does
net mean that these concerns are
any more valuable than they were,
then but just that people expect
them TO make that much more money
in the next few years.
