More Than Million
Shares Changed Hands

New York, May 23.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The vigorous upward swing in to-
days stock market, in which the turn
over well exceeded a total of one mil
lion shares, convinced many in Wall
Street that a bull movement wassin the
making. Yet there were some mental
reservations on this point, 1t is con
coded readily enough that the country
is now in the first stages of remark
able industrial and trade expansion
due to increasing war expenditures
from both foreign and domestic sources.
The longer hostilities are protraeted
the more pronounced will this condi-
tion of our business become. If not
now, therefore, at least before many
weeks pass by, must the stock market
refuect this situation.
Toward the end of the first hour OF
the session, after several fits and
starts, prices began mounting briskly
and with few Interruptions, the move
ment continuing well into the after
noon when the advances, in most eases,
not less than one to three points, at
tracted realizing sales. United States
Steel duplicated the highest price at
which it has ever sold at 1923 "a, a
gain of . - points, but thereafter re-
coded to below l2S.
The market was crowded with stop
orders, both up and down.
Bonds were quiet and firm.

Fred ErixOn Home
From Tour of the East

Fred A. Erixon is home from a visit
with his parents at Manhattan. Kansas,
and a trip through several of the big
cities of the east. Having an eye for
the construction of buildings and also
for general real estate conditions, Mr..
Erixon reports very little doing in
either line. The prosperity so much
talked about he found in the manu-
featuring towns of New England and
in the state of New York. In that
part of the country everybody was
busy. In Manhattan, Kansas, he saw
farmers bringing in wheat to be sold
at 1920 a bushel. In Idaho he found
the ordinary labOring wages at SO a
day and the people there thought it
would be necessary to pay $3.50 dur
ing the summer. He brought home the
general impression that real estate is
not moving in the east with but little
building going on; that the manufac-
turing districts are the only ones en-
joying good times and that when it
comes to climate, the whole u. S. can
not beat the Willamette valley.
