WALL STREET NEWS
Belief Growing Among Financiers
that Policy of Reaction Will
Not Be Endorsed.
BY THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, March H.-Stocks reflected
to-day the belief that is growing among
high financiers that the American people
will not indorse the policy of reaction
in government and business proposed by
radical politicians. The exemplihcation
of the recall OF decisions in a Virginia
court had its weight.
Some investors may also have been
inspired by the wreath OF steam that Is
sued from the Panama Canal and threat
ened to turn that enterprise into vol
cano Perhaps there was just little bit
Of manipulation. But whatever the cause
the market had snap from the first To
the last 1t was buoyant in some de-
partment or other all day. and closed at
about the best prices. Most of the buying
was for investment
Wall street works six months ahead all
the time, and Wall street now sees Taft
nominated and his election assured, big
gest crops ever known in America, labor
troubles adjusted, mills working at full
capacity, and reactionary politicians
Thoroughly discredited. II sees the public
is finally realizing the strength of the
situation and buying stocks. The public
is not wanted in Wall street just now.
and stock movements are being made 10
look as reckless as possible to scare the
people away.
Not Alarmed by Volcano.
About the only cloud on the stock mar
ket horizon is that wreath Of steam en-
gineers have discovered in the Panama
Canal digging. The country would not
miss the 500, 10000 that has been eN-
pended on the canal should it turn into
a volcano, but the railroads would miss
the vast prosperity the canal is going to
bring them all in a few years. Perhap5
destruction of the canal might even be
a bull argument on railroad stocks at
first and thus start a rise everywhere.
So investors need not worry over reports
from excited canal engineers.
Specialties were the leaders in the early
part of the session to-day, and profess
sionals looked at the advance with scorn
until the standard issues suddenly woke
I'D and did exactly what the spectalties
had finished doing. II was broad mar
ket, well sustained in every department,
and left a very favorable impression.
Some thought it Travelled too fast, but
the leaders seemed 10 think the street
needed d demonstration of power, and so
gave it.
What excited most ridicule was an ad-
vance Of Can common to high record
price on heavy transactions. Can pre-
