supposed that two opposite tempera-

the other temperament recalled that
they had heard such things from ex-
cited labor leaders long before the
war. and that the republic had sur
vived.
They also probably observed that
Washington always struck their high.

that each subsequent outlying was
progressively farther down the scale

when prices were sufficiently inviting,
to the cool judgment and self-posses-
sion of the second.
But it will none the less be observed
that the series Of spasmodic fiuctuA-
lions left the general level Of prices
lower. The more sagacious Judges OF
the political and labor situation were
apparently also reserved in their
judgment Of a market which was
passing into the always difiicult period
of. an autumn Of active business and
high demand for money.

Prohtssring Crusade.

It 10 noticeable that the week end
reviews Of trade by the mercantile
agencies unite in testifying to some
reaction in business activities. and
this 10 readily enough ascr1bed to the
weeks early demand, in political and
labor circles. for a crusade against
what was declared. without specff1ca-
ton or qualification, to be unscrupu-
lous "profiteering." Industry nAtur.
ally felt disposed to pause a moment
until 1t could take the reckoning more
clearly as to what conditions were
likely to result.
The relief from extreme misgiving
which the stock market has reflected
at the end Of the week would neces-
sarily be displayed more slowly in the
domain Of production and trade.
Meantime we have in the weeks rou-
tine news two interesting sidelights
on the general situation-one, the re-
port on business failures In July,
which in number were much the small
est of any month on record: the other.
the fact that exchange Of bank checks
in the United States last month SINH

character Of the Presidents message

Wilson would concede some of the

political leaders has been abundantly
shown in Europe. The fact. therefore.
that the President not only makes
easonAble recommendations. but rec
ognises some Of the stubborn eco
nomic facts which the brotherhoods
ignore, and the further fact that he
warns the unions OF the economic
consequences Of q strike were bound
to have good effect on public senti-
ment.
This mornings recoveries in prices
were pretty well distributed through
the list and they must have repre-
scented largely the repurchase OF
stocks by the speculative sellers OF
Monday and Thursday. The easier

tion OF speculative accounts-natur-
ally helped the upward movement.
