Talking About Hard Times.
BY n. ALLOWAY.

NEW YORK, December 9.-Wall street
has become synonymous Of stagnation.
What goes on day by day amounts to SO
little as to be worthy Of almost no COM
ment. This Is not different, however.
from what has been for some time past
expected by independent students Of the
situation.
In the financial world virtually every
start Of Congress. President Taft has
messaged upon the trusts; democratic
leaders have aggressively forecasted a
program which is essentially a plan OF
campaign calculated to disturb the equa-
nimity Of Wall street. To this extent
the stock exchange has become informed
that We have ahead Of us. for months to
come, q national legislative turmoil. I'm
der such circumstances 1t Is not strange
that market activity should hesitate. IN
times past such circumstances would
have been sufficient to precipitate whole
sale liquidation and declines severe.
Quiet But Heavy Selling.
At present. though. there Is essential
difference from what has been the rul-
ing potentially hitherto. Aforetime, po-
litical grillfng was ever sufficient to erect
scarecrows not in Wall street only. but
generally throughout the business world.
Now the condition is diametr1cally op-
posed to the old-time fashion One rea-
son for this is clear enough-the reason
that has to do with the fact that stock
market conditions have for SO long been
SO bad that the disclosure Of any new
uncomfortable factor can only have scant
effect upon the Oppressive side already
so much overWorked.
1t is declared by an employee of one Of
the greatest banking houses engaged in
International transactions that for weeks
and even months past his firm has been
continually and largely selling out the
stocks of customers whose interests are
of consequence enough to be carefully re-
garded. This "author1ty'' insists that
during the month of November his house
sold quietly and anonymously over 49,
wv. 0U of investment securities which have
till now been quietly reposing In safety
deposit boxes. And he adds that not less
than 1OO.OOO.OOO more are scheduled for
sale. This sort Of representation is sem
sational. The man who makes 1t has op-
portunities to know. They who at first
hand receive 1t trust to tho good faith Of
him who SPONSORS it.

Untitled Steel Tonnage.

The increase of 10000 tons in the I'M
filled orders of the Steel Corporation at
the end of November indicated that the
advance in the steel trade in recent
weeks had been underestimated. Fore
casts of the statements pointed to an in
crease of less than half the amount ac-
tually recorded. The fact that the gain
was the largest since June of last year
supported the belief that definite bet
terment of conditions in the steel and iron
trades was at hand.
