Judge Norris used as his subject THE

''The means adopted by the Romans

NEW YORK. March 30.-Wall Street
is again in a pessimistic mood, the gloom
being so thick that even the position
of the sun In the heavens does not suit
the disgruntled traders. This sentiment
is so unanimous that there is hope Of
a reversal of form and higher prices,
this being the usual forecast of unamin-
ity in sentiment one way or the other.
Some Of the commission houses that are
usually well Informed assert that the
short interest IS very widely extended,
that Lawson and his Boston following,
the West. and the local trading element
is heavily short The Street rather ex-
poets a TRADE from Lawson and a play
on Steel common at the same time.
The changes in the market during the
morning hour We're not overly import
ant. the bears apparently holding on
while the insiders were perfectly willing
10 let the market care for itself, so long
as the pace towards lower figures was
not threatening.
The crop reports are especially un-
favorable. drought causing damage in
cotton and grain fields. The only un-
favorable possibility. or rather probabil-
ity, OF tomorrow is found in the belief
that the Bank Of England will raise its
discount rate and that foreign selling
may become a factor in affecting a mar
ket already weakened.
Professional traders are the only oper-
ators. The public is not in the market,
nor is there much possibility Of its Oper-
ations counting for much until such
time as the clouds on the horizon are
entirely removed.
Some Disappointment.
Yesterdays recovery was largely due
20 the belief that the verdict OF the
Supreme Court in the now famous trust
cases would be indefinitely delayed-even
beyond the adjournment Of Congress.
There is still a chance that this viii be
the result Of the death Of Justice Brew
er, but the official announcement by
Attorney General Wickersham to the
effect that. in his opinion, the Court will
not be obliged 10 rehearse the cases nor
delay action thereon caused some dis
appointment But even an Attorney
General may be mistaken.
