New York. April 24. .--Today's clos
ing stock market proved to be still in
grUggy condition as result of the stag
gcring blow IL sustained this week in
terrific smashing Of values and semi
collapse Of the highly inflated specula-
tive issues. The trading during the
brief session was of distinct protes-
Sional type. and to a large degree car
ricd no other significance than the
familiar week end evening up of the
room trading contingent. There was n
hasty and liberal covering of short CON
tracts at the outset, partly in response
to the reported settlement of the Stutz
situation. This brought gains extending
from = to - points. The market, as a
whole, lacked sustaining power and
most of these advances were quickly
Cancelled when moderate pressure was
resumed against the more prominent
speculative issues Trading became

PALMER GLAD
IT'S HARDING
Great Favor Done Demo-
Gratis at Chicago, Says
Frisco Possibility.

Commenting on the nomination of
Senator Harding by the Republicans,
Attorney General Palmer, a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination,
said last night:
Whoever nominated Harding did
the Democrats a great favor. He
is typical reactionary, and a color
less candidate at that. At least he
fits one of the most reactionary
platforms the Republicans ever have
adopted.
In my opinion, it makes the Dem.
ocratic chances exceptionally bright.
We should go ahead now without
fear, and with the confidence in VIC
tory, which the Republican old
guard has put within our grasp by
a species of political maneuvering
that has left some of the staunchest
Republicans aghast and apprehen-
siye."
