4 New Factor.

The order to the Atlantic feet To pro-
coed to Tanpico injected a new factor
into speculative considerations. namely.
the possibility of war. There is no little
difference OF opinion as TO how such an
event should translate itself into stock
prices. one opinion Is that in view Of
the recent substantial fall the stock mar
ket ought TO move up sharply on the
proclamation OF war on the theory that
something which has been regarded by
many people as Inevitable for many
months has been removed from the realm
of possibilities. on the other hand. II is
pointed out that such Improvement could
hardly be more than temporary since war
in the long run always entails economic
waste. The salvaging Of American owned
