STOCK MARKET DRIFTS
ALONG SERENELY DESPITE
GENERAL POLITICAL ACTIVITY
Gov. Wilson's Declaration of
Principles Is Received
With Composure.
STRONG TONE AT CLOSE
Wall Street Does Not Hurry to
Rush at Conclusions Re
garding Public Affairs.

Copyright. 1912. by New York Even
ing Post Coz
NEW. YORK, Aug. Following
Mr.. Taft's speech OF acceptance and
Mr.. Roosevelts comprehensive plat
form, neither of which caused any
stir in financial circles. Gov. Wilson q
response to the Democratic notlfica-
ton committee today was received
with unruffled composure, though the
rather sharp recovery in prices. just
before the close, no doubt amounted
to confession Of misjudgment, by
operators who had sold stocks short
beforehand, on the theory that some
Of the declarations would be inter
preted as dangerously radical.
On the whole, the markets attitude
seems to prove that Wall-st. Is in no
hurry to rush to conclusions concern
Ing the political outlook. and that,
while awaiting some definite indica-
tions as to how the political tide Is
setting, II Is satisfied with the flnan-
cial and industrial situation.
The market opened quietly, declined
a fraction, then made up the earlier
loss. II was inactive all the day.
The market closed strong.

Il was evident that the aldermanic

Prosecutor Hugh Shepherd did not
appear in his office during the morn
ing and Mr.. Jasnowski declined to
tell when his chief might be at his
desk, though he said he would be In
communication with him during the
day. The story gained currency that
the prosecutor had discovered some
new leads In the graft scandal and
was personally Investigating them.

speaking there the evening after

Miss Mary Baker was sentenced to
seven months imprisonment as an
accomplice.
The sentences pronounced against
Mrs. Leigh and Miss Evans were by
far the severest imposed for suffra-
gette demonstrations since the
Votes for Women campaigners
adopted militant tactics several years
ago. Some hundreds OF women have
received terms OF from a few days
ub to two or three months in jail
for window smashing, participation
In riots, assaults on cabinet mem
bers and kindred offenses. but the
present occasion is the first on
which they have been treated as
actual criminals.
Women have generally gone to
Jail by the score or two at time
and kept up their spirits, through
realization in their strength In
numbers by hunger strikes, refusal
to perform prison tasks. and some
times by forcible resistance of their
custodians so effectively that the
government at times released them
before the expiration of their terms,
through inability to control them.
