NEW YORK, July 7.-There is a dis
position to minimize the Importance OF
national politics In the stock market.
This tendency Is based on the comfort
able theory entertained in many places
that the battle Is going to be between
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Wilson, and that It
elected. Serious thought is not yet given
to the possibility of Colonel Roosevelt
obtaining a sufficient number of men,
bers of the electoral college to COM
pletely change the Anal result.
That is a feature which Is likely to
be discussed earnestly as a market fac
tor before the voting begins in No
wonderland afterward. On the as
sumption that either Mr.. Taft or Mr..
Wilson will be elected, the cheerful feel
ing is allowed to grow that Wall Street
and the stock market will be the win
lner-that things will be all fixed UP and
, present controlling interests continue to
reign. 1t is a very beautiful and roseate
theory. and has so far impaired great
comfort and placidity to the Wall Street
heart.
The market developed a slightly re-
| dictionary tendency the day after the
Baltimore convention would up it's busi-
ness, and until today the drift was
quietly downward. II looked and acted
