STOCK MARKET FIRM

prepared to accept the outcome with oomplacency These advices were sup- plemented by the favorable comment of local banking and industrial interests. Over all was a feeling of relief that henceforward politics would cease to be a paramount factor.
 The financial community is pot unmind- ful of the fact that the democratic parry Is committed to tariff revision and that situation may be expected to. find ret1ec- tion from time to time in securities of corporations whose destinies are consid- cred more or less bound up in this issue. Already, in fact, stocks of some such domestic corporations have suffered se- riolls reverses, namely American Beet Sugar, and American Sugar, while the shares of the American Woolen company also have manifested an easier tendency.
