New-York tribune., 1922-03-27

The rpturn in security prices since
midsummer has been partly in the
nature Of a rebound from the extreme
depression which carried many issues
below their intrinsic worth The rise
has been facilitated, if not caused, by
the revolutionary changes in the money
market where funds, hitherto unpro-
cedentedly scarce and expensive for the
borrower, have once more become
abundant. The easement, which has
been reflected by substantial and
spectacular squirt in bond quotations.
has resulted partly from the conscious
working out policy Of dcfaton and, on
the other hand 10 very large eNtent,
to the dullness of business. Moreover.
spectators have been Influenced to 6id
up stock prices on the theory that the
next phase Of the business cycle would
involve a substantial gain in CONNER
cial activity. The market, since last
August, has therefore to large cx-
tent discounted that Improvement
which can be assurcdly anticipated. 1t
has not, on the other hand, discounted
a great period Of productive activity
based on a renaissance of business in
a world liberated from the uncertain-
ties respecting reparations and the
question Of inter-allied debts. The
fact that genuine uncertainty exists
regarding future economic develop
ments has induced spectators to stop
to orient themselves. More Immediate
factors, such as the decision to call a
coal strike on April / and the passage
of the bonus bill BY the House, have
been influential, too, in inducing an at
ttude Of watchful waiting. 1t is signif-
icant Of the widespread feeling that
economically America is on the un-
grade, that the reaction in the market
has been so conspicuously slight.
Spring was officially ushered in last
week and with it the first signs Of
seasonal increase in the demand for
credit, as distinct and apart from the
recent expansion in requirements for
speculative purposes incidental to tho
advance in STOCK prices and broadening
Of market operations. The situation
was still boclouded to a certain extent
by the mid-month government opera

Judge Wright argued the case at
some length, going into the early
