expected to furnish no small amount
OF work.
1t was realized that Murphy and
Taft with about 100000 (valuatlon

would be difficult personages to extin-

when the National leaguers solemniy
announced Murphy's extinction ana
the latter recently bobbed up with
great handfuls of Cub stock, the mag
mates were determined to settle the
question, this time fairly and openly,
for all time. There was plenty of talk
about the Waldorf corridors, and In
other spots that are not so dry, that
Murphy must go some time and II
might as well be now. The gossip
was that the magnates might compro-

The first year Of Wilson has been an
eventful one for Wall street. Starting
with his election, or even before, the
market began to go down. The Presi-
dent-elect, SO it seemed to the street,
was unfortunate In some of bis utter
ances, and this did not reassure the
financial interests. When he took Office
various factors conspired to further the
general belief Of the street that he was
a radical OF the first water, but most Of
these factors, 1t turned out, were despite
the President, rather than because oil
him. The climax, as everyone remem
bers, came last June, and at that time
the stock market was dangerously near
the panic level o. 1907. But then the
turn came. Since then, with the usual
reactions, the trend has been generally
upward, and while the market average
Is still some six points below what ii
was on March 4, 1918, the tone is stead
lily improving, whether quoted values
do or not. For the immediate future
there are several opinions-and many
capable judges believe that prices will
have to have at least one more break
before the real upturn can come-but
for the long pull sentiment is almost
universally bullish. President Wilson
still has three years before him aud
possibly seven, and nobody doubts for
a moment that by the end of his incum-
bency not only the stock market, but
the whole country, will be In vastly
better condition than 1t has been or Is
