Is the Word in Business
And Industrial Circles.
Better Weather Amazingly
Helps Crop Conditions.
Stock Market Has Brisk Week.
Prices Nearly to the Record.

New York, May ia feeling of con-
fidence over the progress of business
and industrial development prevailed
in the financial community last week.
The events were shaping towards a
restoration of prosperity was the gen
eral conviction. In the securities and
money markets the effect of this con-
viction made itself felt, but was temp
cred by the extent to which the antici-
patton of this condition had already
gone in the speculation. Hence the UNI
even and irregular price movement
which left the tone Of the stock market
confused and uncertain.
Evidences of business improvement
came from practically all directions
Special Importance was attached to the
advices from the metal trades. Reports
of continued heavy selling of refined
copper promised turn in the heavy
accumulation of surplus stocks of con-
per. 1t was significant OF the specula-
tive condition in the stock market that
the copper securities themselves sold
off on the publication of this encourage
ing news Iron and steel trade au-
thorities gave testimony to the growth
of sounder conditions in that trade and
the growing hopefulness over the fu
ture.
Conditions governing the crop pros
poets were regarded as greatly improv
ed, owing to the state of the weather.
Abundant rains in the Southwest re-
lieved fears of harm from drouth, and
weather conditions in the spring wheat
planting section of the country Vera
pronounced ideal, Returns Of railroad
earnings indicated expansion in freight
traffic. Expanding bank clearings and
an increasing supply of mercantile pa
per offering to bankers were another
index of the reviving tendency of trade.
The news events of the week thus
pointed quite generally to enhancement
of values of corporation shares. The
stock market of the week was animated
and made an occasional show of de-
cided strength. The advances were 50
broken by reactions, however, and the
persisting rise was so confined within
fes stocks that a close analysis OF
price movements in detail shows a long
list of important securities that were
little changed by the weeks operations
The coalers supplied the sensational
feature of the market and gave it the
strength The spectacular rise in this
group was not accounted for by any
actual happening, but by abundant
rumors. alleging a project near ma
turity to disappropriate the coal prop
critics and distribute the proceeds to
stockholders of the railroads.
The restraint on the general price
movement argued a large speculative
liquidation The motive for these real
izing sales was sought in the high level
to which prices have attained COM
pared even with past periods of specu-
lative influences. The average price
level is computed to exceed any touch
ed before since January, 1907. Some
of the stocks most prominent in the
speculation are within few points Of
the highest prices on record. The high

ST John, n F., May 16.-Great fields
of ice extend from the shore from near
ly every section of New Foundlana
constituting an active MANAGE to ocean
navigation. Within 10 days nearly a
dozen ocean liners have put in here or
at nearby ports badly damaged and re-
porting narrow escapes. Coastwise
shipping is subjected to an effective
embargo and the returns from the re-
cent elections at ST Barbe are held up
by the ice-bondage of the steamer
Eagle, which is transporting the ballot
boxes. Not for nearly a score of years
have the ice fields held intact so long
as this season and only a shift of the
prevailing westerly winds which have
driven the ice in shore will dispense the
ice foes in the direction of the gulf
stream.
Although many of the trans Atlantic
liners arriving in maritime and United
States ports have reported sighting
large fields of ice, and many icebergs,

advocates of such a tax have been

the income tax policy is that the cause
in the Senate has been materially
weakened by the decision Of the Pres
