Views as to Wilson.

1t is curious with what general unanim-
fly they who express opinions pass over
what is said by and what is said for our
next President. Mr.. Wilson has recently
been making statements which, under or
binary rules of Wall street consideration,
would have been sufficient to stir up lot
of energetic comment and even precipi-
tate market excitement. 1t is popular
upon the stock exchange to speak sighting
~ of the incoming executive; but few of his
declara tions have appealed to what pro-
feSSional Wall street regards liberal
Perhaps in due season there will be Keen
er appreciation of the fact that back of
these utterances is a power and determi-
nation much more efficient than so far
recognized by the financial world. At this
moment, however, nine out OF ten Wall

he will be more moderate when once in

unctuously, always producing conserva-

Fight on Crookedness.

We have witnessed a continuing cam
paign against croOkedness disclosed in
many quarters where investors have been
buncoed crudely by stock issuing sharp

porations has there been any show of
aggressive disturbance. This week some
Indications OF change in this regard are

hailed into court by stockholders who are
alleging that the interests they originally
held in properties absorbed by the trust
have been sacrificed. 1t is not needed
just now to go into al analysis OF charges
like these, but the incident is interesting
by reason of its suggestiveness-for there
are students of the situation who believe
II to be significant of what may develop
into a widespread movement of conse-
uuence much beyond the confines of any
one Of the trust combinations.
1t is forecast even that the courts may
BE- called upon to summon the promoters
of important corporation combinations to
account for securities distributed for pro-
motion purposes-it being Tumored that
legal papers in at least one consequential
case have already been drawn, with more

Speculation Numb.

What ails Wall street right now that
II has become numb? 1t has faced hard
times in the brokerage business long
that there is really a solemn feeling that
more suffering could hardly be piled upon
the stock exchange back. The money

hearings are considered not at all. I'm
pending trust prosecutions by the gov
eminent pass unconSidered trifies.
Speculative nerves simply have gone
numb. let the slightest veStige of a
cheerful development is sufficient to in
sDire enthusia sm-such enthusiasm as
makes noise however rather than pro-
duces stock market buyers. Wall street,
thus, ought to be a linitless JOY to d
psychologist 1t is sad enough to every
body else.
One interesting development appearing
this week in various forms from various
quarters may be significant and what can
lead to exceptional corporation results.
For the first time since government prose-
cutions of the big corporations started
there are indications that security hold
in high places are inclined TO get

count on her in the home as they could

upon husband and children is bestowed
