now seems more remote than for sew
eral months. Another hopeful factor
in Wall Street is the plethora of cheap
money Business inertia and lack of
confidence are causing money to ac-
eumulate in spite Of easy rates. Under
such conditions good securities yield
ing 3 and 9 per cent look exceedingly
attractive al current figures. Condi-
tions, therefore, inevitably favor bet
ter buying of high grade stocks and
bonds. This process has been going
along quietly for some weeks, and has
much to do with the present better
undertone of the general market.
The main source of optimism at5pres-
ent, however, is the splendid croe out
look. There are some reports of dam.
age to wheat from the hessian fly and
the season generally is backward.
Nevertheless, agricultural conditions as
a whole are unusually promising for an
abundant harvest, and there is ample
margin to allow for customary deteriro-
alton and still provide large crops of
both grain and fruit. Good crops will
prove the most effective stimulus to
business in the West; will provide larg,
er transportation for the railroads; will

stimulate the demand for agricultural
machinery, and do more to restore
sound conditions in the great agricu.
tural districts than any other one
thing.
So far as the railroad situation is
concerned it would seem as if the worst
had been well discounted. The traffic
losses of last winter are now matter
of history. During the balance Of the
year, transportation is more likely to
increase than decrease, and a moderate
gain in tonnage would be infinitely
more advantageous to the roads than
any gain which they are likely TO
secure through favorable concessions in
rates. The most satisfactory ipmreS-
sion in regard to the attitude of the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
this: No great concession in the
amount of rates is anticipated. In fact
the amount granted may prove dis
appointing and be lcng delayed. But
the mere exhibition of justice on the
part of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, a disposition to substitute a
spirit of fair.play for that of prejudice
which has long possessed that body,
will do more to restore confidence
among railroad managers than any
other recent developments. Railroad
owners and railroad managers would

WIDOWS HAVE FIRST
CHOICE IN SCRAMBLE
Washingtonians Look for Reut-free
Houses Today During the Summer
Months-Congressmen on Pence.
By Burton K. standish.

Washington, May 27.-There's IS a
scramble on among several hundred
Washingtonians today for rent-frce
houses during the summer months in
the eity's most exclusive residential
districts. Few people outside the cap
ital realize that there are in this city
scores of beautiful and costly homes
which are turned over to care-takors,
sometimes without rent, and with coal,
gas and electric light bills paid. On
some occasions, even, caretakers are
paid a nominal sum to live in the
houses.
Now is the season when these care
takers are the busiest. Those who
have had these positions in the past
are the most active and they bescige
almost daily the various real estate Of
fices in the city. For this business is
one of the hardest for real estate men
to look after. In the first place, they
must be able to judge the character
"on the jump" and be able to pick
men and women who would be capable
and honest. Then after selecting the
names Of applicants the agents have
to investigate their standing and trust
worthiness. In the selection Of the ten
ants widows almost have first choice.
A good widow with children is always
regarded as the best caretaker.
While the occupation of caretaker
grew up originally when Washington
ians left the city for the GUNNER, it has
extended to another branch now-that
of furnished houses for sale or rent.
For instance, if public official who
has lived here several years suddenly
becomes ELAINE duck" and moves
:" back to the farm" his Washington
home is for sale. Often it is difficult
to sell tho place Immediately or even
rent it. AS result, caretaker is Sc
lected. This party is given possession
of the house, but is required to keep
it in tip.top condition and to show it
to prospective buyers.
