Finance Economics
WALL STREET OFFICE:
Mills Building, Is Broad st.

The betterment reflected in the
tone of the security markets in the
closing days of last week conceded in
significant way with the slowing
down of the latest German military
effort in France. Sentiment in the
financial district was distinctly more
hopeful as result of the success of
the Allied defence. This was trans
, lated into increasing activity in the
stock market and a substantially
higher price range, many of the rep
resentative speculative shares touch
ing new high levels for the current
recovering movement. 1t is, of course,
realized in Wall Street circles, as
elsewhere, that the coming sum-
mer months may witness even
stronger German efforts to break
through and obtain a decision. 1t
is not considered improbable that the
Allies may be forced to give more
ground. In the last analysis, how
ever, the financial district feels that
the German efforts will be neutral
lied and successfully resisted until
the full force Of Americas strength
can be brought to bear. 1t is on the
basis of this confidence in the favor
able outcome of future military de-
velopments that the present strength
of the security markets rests. There
ere other favorable elements in the
situation, however, that have not
been overlooked, notably the brilliant
crop outlook and the improved money
situation. The question of taxation
is still serious problem. There is a
general willingness to meet the pro-
posed additional tax burden, al
though it is to be hoped that the new
legislation will be more equitable and
less complicated than the present
statute.

Remove Teutonic Eagles.

Because they too nearly resemble
the German eagle sometimes used as
a Teutonic military emblematic fig
ure, four eagle ornaments at the foot
of two grand stairways in the State
Capitol at Salt Lake City have been
removed.
AS soon as his attention was called

to the emblem of Prussianism, Gov
Bamberger ordered their remov-
al and their substitution with figures
of real American eagles.
