Net Result of Selling Movement.

The net result of the first hours selling
movement was that prices at the end of

level, but despite some irregularity. espe-
cially in the industrial quarter. showed
average gains over last nights closing
figures. The list at no time reacted to
the weak level made in London before the
local opening. The weakness Of Ameri-
can stocks in the London market i'm the
early part OF the day was apparently
more to be accounted for by the gen.
eral election depression which ruled the
London Stock Exchange than by the re-
cent course of our own market.
London Just now is suffering from
pessimism engendered by the liberal sue
cess 50 far, but this is more than any
thing else logical reaction from the ex-
cessive optimism which obtained over
there last week. To the American obser-
yer it seems quite likely that when the
returns are all in and the mitigating
features of the liberal victory are noted.

Session Was Private.

The meeting of the board of directors
this morning was an executive one, and was
confined principally to mapping out the
labors for tomorrows open meetings and
arranging the order of addresses by men,
beers of the association and others. 1t is
probable that both former United States
Forester Clifford Pinchot and Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson will deliver speeches
at the dinner tonight. Arrangements have
been also made for the addresses by sew
eral of the governors now attending the
governors conference in this city.
1t was intimated also at the directors
meeting this morning that the recent con-
troversy in which the former Forester
was involved will be taken up and dis
cussed. What form this discussion will
take is not known, but it is possible that
the association will commend the work of
Mr. Pinchot in behalf of conservation
and indorse a continuation of his policy.
The directors meeting was presided
over by Curtis Guild. president of the
association. Otto Luebkert, treasurer
and Edwin A. Start, secretary. submitted
informal reports.
The meeting was attended by all the
members.

NEW YORK. January 1S.-As general con-
ditions continue good, the industrial and
business situation being characterized by
prosperity, 1t would seem as If with re-
lation to the conditions the January re-
action In the stock market had gone
about as far as II should. Probably for
some stocks it has gone too far.
With regard to technical conditions
that is, the position of stocks in the mar
ket and in the street-it seems also likely
that the setback has met good many of
the requirements. although 1t is not at
all unlikely that some issues are stu
100 weakly held.
The best Judgment of competent OBJ
servers obtainable today was that taking
all of the material and technical factors
into consideration. the bulk of the decline
had been accomplished in most stocks.
To some extent this opinion received
corroboration from the forenoon deal
