Nan York. Feb. THE New York
rrsninr Suns closing financial review
today says:
I, contrast with the turmoil Of the
- wall street enjoyed restful calm
wNs;sh featured today's short session of
w. stock market. The quick upturn
,ne ,s,o Yesterday found further reflection
tar @ q brief interval at the opening this
morning.
Initial prices were considerably high
80 hut it was not long before a mild
..,,ct;on set in. In some instances car
nr;ng quotations down as much as l
!. noints. Neither. the advance nor
tSe decline were very convincing proof
N strength or weakness.
Tho most potent constructive influ
s,ce was the lowering of money rates
vasterday to 10 per cent, accompanied
- rnmors that some demand loans had
S.sn made as low as 6 per cent. While
,his was not at all likely, 1t indicated
.ha trend of sentiment with respect ia
Tho immediate outlook for loaning
rates.
v,ek was quite frequently heard; al
snv rate the financial community feels
tbat the peak of stringency has been
rsacbed for some time perhaps. There
;s the report of the railroad bill to look
forward to next week and the treaty
natter. while still far from untangled,
has some claim for optimistic atten

Trading in stocks was only moder
ately active. United States Steel ruled
closely around par. fluctuating within
a noint both above and below. The
heeinning of the second hour saw sub
stsntial recovery from the low prices
established in the first hour.
General Liquidating Movement
The current. week in Wall street was
period in financial and economic his
tory making not soon to be forgotten
Liquidation set in motion by the wholly
unprecedented situation in international
trade relations affected all the markets,
securities. cotton, foreign exchange
commodities, including grain, coffee ant
ugar. 1t was no longer necessary to
qualify when the term 'demoralized'
was applied to dealings in foreign re-
mittances.
Perhaps the most frequent mental
query was: Why should this country
worry more than others when it is still
on sound gold basis when the ele-
ments Of material prosperity are appar-
ent, ready to hand IL properly courted
The magnitude of the world problem has
created subconscious distrust of thu
ability of any human agency to solve it
in other words, that the solution must
be left to the processes of time. But
time is a slow. healer and the march o.
events confusingly rapid, often con
Trajectory to all appearance. not infre.
quently confounding analysis and ap-
praisement until new circumstance!
present new perplexities.
Thus it was this week that puzzl
was piled upon puzzle. Rates of lex
change gave way, rates of money Dor
rowing advanced and the exports o
this country displayed symptoms o
backing up, which suggested the pos

WOMAN CITIZEN
FLAYS HARDING.
Suffrage Association Organ At
tacks Leadership Ability of
Republican Nominee.
(By GEORGE n. MANNING.)

Washington, July 1S.-In an editor
ial entitled What About Vermont,
Senator Harding?" the Woman Citi-
zen in this weeks issue demands that
the Republican presidential nominee
take action that will insure the women
the women being able to vote this fall,
and not try to shift the responsibility
to Governor Clement of Vermont and
state executives.
There can be no hope of inspiring
the women voters with confidence in
him as a presidential candidate, the
women assert, if state politicians n the
Republican party are to get themselves
this early against his leadership as
did Governor Clement of Vermont in
refusing to summon the state 1egisla-
ture after being requested to do So by
Senator Harding.
The women expect that where Mr..
Harding leads the lesser politicians OF
the Republican party will follow, says
the Woman Citizen, which is the Of
ficial organ of the National Woman
Suffrage Association.
The editorial reads as follows:
Senator Harding, you are about to
come before the women voters Of the
country as the choice of the Republi-
can party for the next president of the
United States. You will come as at
once the executive agent and mouth
piece of the Republican party. You
will make representations t. women
voters on behalf of the Republican
party. When you say that the Repub
lican party offers this or that prospect
you will expect your utterances to be
relied on for their full import as COM
ing from PARTY leader You will tx
pect, and rightly, that the voters of
the country will consider that where
YOU lead the lesser politicians of your
party will follow.
"But, Senator Harding, what con-
fidence can you hope to inspire in the
women voters if state politicians of
your party are to set themselves thus
early against YOUR leadership:
"Your party stands committed to the
ratification of the Federal Suffrage
Amendment. You stand committed
to it. Governor Clement Of Vermont
refused to be guided either by you or
by the Republican party.
Unlike the legislature of Louisiana,
the legislature of Vermont stands
ready to ratify. Governor Clement
cites this indeed as one of the reasons
why he will not call the legislature
'It is not Governor Clement who the
women voters of the country must hold
responsible for the failure of the Re
publican party to complete the ratifi-
cation of the Federal Suffrage Amend
nent in time for the women of the
eighteen unenfranchised states to take
part in the 1920 elections.
Governor Clement is not the NOM
inee of the Republican party
what about Vermont, Senator
Harding?"
