Washington. ID. c., Dec. 10.
Political reaction from the prohihl-
ton conference between the President
and the Governors of sixteen States
yesterday emphasized two distinct and
conflicting points
The first is that the Government Is
determined to assume the initiative in
the effort to compel greater respect
for and obedience to both the Eight
eenth Amendment and tho volstead
enforcement act. The second is that
the Congressional opponents OF both
the amendment and statutory law
will organize a bloc to drive a wedge
between their respective political par
ties and the Anti-Saloon League.
When the President said in his mes
sage to Congress that the attempt TO
enforce the constitutional amendment
and statutory law wds assuming the
proportions Of a national scandal he
accompanied it with Tho ieclaration
that ne pur,~,sod to employ every
agency OF the G,vernme-t 20 put q
stop to 1t. His cha,lcngs undoubtedly
will be accepted by the opponents OF
the prohibition enterprise even TO tho
extent of holding up all legislation
after the manner OF tho agricultural
and other blocs.

PUBLIC PLAYS
STOCK MARKET
ONCE AGAIN
Begins to NibbIe at Specu-
IatiOn After Long Period
Of Abstinence.

NEW YORK, April For the first
time in more than two years the big
outside public is specializing in the stock
market~on the long side. That is the
meaning OF the milliOn-share days now
being witnessed. with prices daily max
ing new high records for the year.
From November 1913. until last June.
the price trend Of the market was down
ward, discounting world wide trade re
action.
Since last August the price trend has
been upward, discounting a revival in
business.
1t Is only recently however, that the
public has regained enough confidence in
the business outlook to take the longe
side Of the market again.
Only a few months or even weeks ago
stock brokers were receiving no inquir-
ies from the specializing public. Sug-
gestions voluntarily made as to the pros
poets Of this or hist stock advancing
were ignored
With the prices Of stocks continuing
to advance on the unexpected recovery
that started early this year in farm prod
ucts values, the public began TO ni0ble
in the stock market by telepboning in
Quiries voluntarily.
The New York public no longer is
satisfied with telephone contact with the
stock market. Customers rooms of br0k-
ers offices are now crowded as they have
not been since the long decline in prices
began nearly two and a half years ago
When the stock market was still boil
ing IN 1919 with prices at the top the
loans Of Wall Street brokerage hou $
reached q new high peak Of Si,75O 900.
With the long liquidation that followed
this figure which measures accurately
the interest OF the big outside public in
the stock market, dropped in July 1921
to $500, COO 600.
month ago, brokers loans here in
the Street were estimated at S75O,OO0, 600.
On all sides it is said those loans are now
increasing rapidly.
One large commission house here with
a number Of out-Of-tOwn wires reports It
IS doing more than 10000 shares a day.
