sumed blurred and aimleSS aspect. As the week drew on this became worse instead of better, and, as the distance separating the sorrowing sur vivors from port became less and less. the gloom settled down more thiclly. This was greatly increased when, with the Carpathia in easy zone of the wireless and the lane of communi- cation cleared by the assistance of the government. authoritative details of the Titanic were impossible to ob tain. on Wall Street all discussion and comment on financial news dWindlcd and the white and yellow sheets were scanned indifferently, eX cept for items bearing on the great disaster Gloomy weather ashore seemed more than proverbially to az graVate the sentiment and to make financial news seem of little moment. The effect cf such announcements as the doubling of the AmaiGamated div idend was practically negligible. 4 slight advance, few extra opera tions. and then things settled back to former levels. Fluctuations were meaningless and fog spread over the whole list. That, however, throughout all this dreary period, there was no fall of consequence must be taken as evidence of strong foundation And vet it may be that as in the San Francisco disaster. while this later calamity is of no comparison in the wiping out of values. the after senti mental effect may be more pronounce ed. The necessity put upon insurance underwriters of raising funds and leading to the sale of securities may still be felt. The loss falls mainly upon the English companies, anu whether or not it will De American securities which come to the market, remains to be seen.

The whole week has been under the cloud anu darkness of the terrible tragedy of the sea.
 The highest achievement in water transformation. the most magnificent and gigantic product of skill and of modern scientific construction the last thing in demonstration of man ; power over matter, has been crushed like an cgG-shcll by the mighty forces of nature and sunk to oblivion, carry ing with 1t hundreds of precious hu- man bcings-many of them disting- uished leaders in industrial, social and professional life.
 The entire country has been shocked by this catastrophe and it has seemed as if. during the week, action in eN- cry direction in material things had been numbcd and dispirited. Even the heat of politics has seemed to cool q little. ana it's end anu aims to show up as not worth while. The result has been that the ordinary events of the week nave apparently been deprived of any set significance and there is little ill the course of current happenings from which to draw conclusions.
 It is perhaps in the cOnrse of the stock market that the most inform ing impression of passing events was presented. On Monday morning the news of the accident came out, but at the same time there was the ap- parently reliable report that all passengers had been taken off and the steamship stin afloat and being towel to port This cheering news later to be so rudely and sorroWfully contradicted, left the market with only the record of victory for dema : goguery in Pennsylvania to reckon with. Against this there was rush. ing advance and the list was strong all day. on Monday night the ap- palling truth of the disaster was dis closed anu on Tuesday the market sounde1 notes of depression, but there was still some hope of rescue anu considerable show of aggression. NeV- ertheless. there began to appear in the main action of the price list that stunned character which it has re- tained in increasing degree all the week The level of prices in it's ceaseless motion has often been com pared to a restless sea, anu it was as if this was overcast with fog, more or less dense and occasionally rising, but always again setting down. quite heavily at times. There was at no time much if any weakness, but, as has been said, the price board as
