"It-seems to me odder that he Is not
searching for me-"
She WAS sitting. so he judged from the
sound. about fifteen feet away. There was
GOODNESS in her voice rs she spoke of the
candidate. Enrney felt sorry for that young
man when he next held converse with her.
From her voice he had also gathered that
the dark rather frightened her. and that
,he presence of an unknown man had not
aIayed her unessiness: though something
Of her reserve had vanished. he thought.

certainly That would explain the whole
thing
Sitting damply on the dark stairway, he
told Of J. rincknsy Hare's evidently I'm
promptu experiences in the public square:
which had undoubtedly knocked from his

WEEKLY REVIE w OF TRADE

New York, May i6-Dun's Weekly Re-
view OF Trade tomorrow will say:
Regular business holdR up remarkably
Wen considering its many hindrsnoes
with retail trades in some sections re-
spending to weather improvements.
Yet the period of low Temperatures was
100 prolonged TO make best results in
spring distribution possible and the &C
cumulatons Of merchandise reflect to
some extent the influence of the extreme
prices. While there Is still full employ
ment Of labor and wage advances have
continued the tendency toward economy
among consumers Is spreading, and this
evident not only In foodstuffs but also
in drygoods and footwear The Iessened
buying OF necessities, however, has not
yet lowered costs perceptibly, and in
many primary channels the large expen-
ditures for military supplies act as a
sustaining factor.
Pressure on most Of the leading indus
tries has increased rather than slackeneo
though in some quarters ordinary de-
mands are held in abeyance pending
more definite knowledge as 70 the re-
qulrements OF the government With
strikes Of minor Importance in certain
branches and more skilled hands needed
than are available maintenance OF manu-
featuring outputs Is in some cases i'm
practicable and operations nearly every
where continue hindered by the difficulty
in moving materials and products 70
points Of destination.
The heavy volume Of traffie on the rail-
roads is Indicated by the steady gains in
gross revenues, but net earnings on many
systems diminish. Even with reduced
speculation I'm the grain markets, bank
clearings this week are 2I2 Der cen,
greater than last years and outside New
YORK the Increase Is IS per cent. Yet
tne extreme prices are obviously an in
nuence and financing Of a special nature
also tends TO swell the exchanges

LEADING ISSUES WEAK;
MOTORS SUFFER WORST
Reaction on Market Caused by Too
Rapid an Advance for Two Days.
(By the InternatIonal News servIce)

(By the International News Serviee.)
New York. May 1s-For the reaction
in today's market no explanation Is
needed other than the fact that Il ad-
vanced too fast the previous two days
Rumors were current in an attempt to
explain 1t otherwise. One of these was
naval battle in the North Sea; another
was peace for Russia and still another
was that the pool OF professionals that
started the advance has taken profits
The reaction was swift and substantial,
but 1t did not cause any excitement. ThL
close was steady and somewhat above
lowest prices.
As the short interest has been eliminat-
ed by the rise any bad news would hit
the market hard. Even the hints of to-
investors who have high grade stocks
and bonds for sale. The selling OF such
securities is only suspended. not abandon
ed.
Motor stocks suffered worse In the re-
action. All the leading issues were weak
on theory that the government will cut
on supplies of steel for pleasure cars.
Marines were hurt by the report that
Great Britain may cut down profits to
the levels current before the war.
Westinghouse reflected the belief that
out of the money IOaned to Russia that
company would get paid at once for
material already supplied. The coal
stocks responded early in the day to the
orders that have gone forth giving coal
cars right of way on the railroads
Coppers rejoiced because Of higher
prices to be received from the govern
ments and reacted later merely in
sympathy with the general list.
The Washington herald., 1917-05-19

New York. May lS-Bradstreees tomor-
row viii say:
Overloaded with orders q the eopd,so,
OF the leading Industries and distrfbution
or the more commonplace commodfties
evidences the existence OF irregular1ty
plus some conservatism. Preaching OF
tne necessity for economy restricts trade
IN seasonable fabrics. but even 20 the
unoercurrents seem to be toward i'm

aiming to get fits second wind

against imaginary potential shortage has
supsioed but not before consumers up-
DIG prices against themselves In
cidentally the inordinate prices broueb,
out supplies Of certain commodities that
were not supposed to be IN existence
while at the same time overworked
speculative efforts seem TO have come 10
a pause for the time being al least Bun
because Of the prolonged cold spell, re-
tailers' stock of wearing apparel ars
heavy. consequently record trade r71n-
ming TO jobbers IL conspicuous by its
absence and some reports indicate that
manufacturers of women's wear az wei
as dressmakers have cut down their
forces
II is evident that lu1uries are going 70
/ be eschewed for the more staple COM
podities and Il also is equally apparent
that over-buying Of foodstuns BY In
dividuals who will not use the supplies
for months to come is likely to react IN
circumscribed demand next month. De-
spite the various hslting factors retail
dealers have not cancelled orders here
tofore placed, concededly because Il "a
known that requirements cannot be made
save at much higher levels and wholesale
trade for fall account seems TO be grow
