HUGE LONDON CROWDS
CELEBRATED May DAY
(By United 'Press)

London, May 1.--'Labor, Day, was
celebrated all Oyer England; today
with $processiens;<a and mass meetings
of workers, but among the great
|nnasss of therGpeople the celebration
was yieWe1sw.th apathy, The MILF
tant Section gof British labor, inclhd-
ding adNanced ''red" and Communists,
were, exceptionally active,
Aand attempted to stage numerous, un-
e.anployed demonstrations against
nc apitalns =, <@''' ; ~
M The, biggest demonstrations were
held in Hyde Park, west London, and
fsNivtoria Park, east London, to which
places huge professions
marched with bands and banners, ac-
Bcompanied by wagon-loads of women
sand school children gaily decorated
with red ,rosettes. In Hyde Park
there were dozen platforms from
which the. demonstrators were adj
dressed by the leading labor chiefs,
members of parliament and trade
union officials.
Strong forces of police marshaled
the professionals, and kept watch
full eye on known extremists Reso-
lutions were passed calling upon the
government to take immediate steps
to deal with the problems of unem-
;ployment, wages, the cost of living
and housing shortage.
In some parts of rural England,
old-time May Day customs, with
dancing round the Maypole on vii.
'lage greens, were observed. A pleas
ing spectacle in the towns was the
number Of horses gaily be-ribboned
and decked with multi-colored ros-
cites, in memory of the old English
folklore ruling that May Day is the
'horse" birthday.

enormous quantity of gold on hand
the total being s3,O61, 100000, so
that immense exports might take
place without directly affecting our
real lending power. The report of
the Federal Reserve System for the
past week showed that commercial
bills have fallen to 100000, 900,
while the ratio rose to 75.1 per cent.
This is an ample reserve supply of
lending power for all legitimate COM

the coming months. Financially
speaking, this country would profit
very greatly by the return of sterl-

old basis of trading in American Sc

of the entire situation at home,

this announcement come forward
early in January, it might give a
strong upward trend of the market,
particularly in foreign securities.
With a reduced general level of
activity during the week just past,
and a comparative absence of the
public stock market operations have
been largely devoted to professional
dealings and to the sale of stocks
for income tax purposes. The clos

existing conditions, are almost neces-

has given tho market very much
better foundation and that traders
ospousing the short side viii mere

long stock in any quantity. This
does not imply, of course, that the
market will cease to back and fill
until something turns up to give it
greater impetus; while it is slow at
the present time, the undercurreat
of confidence will sooner or later
pull it out of its present rut, espe-
sally as the floating supply of stocks
is greatly reduced. The fresh cash
dividend announcements which put
in an appearance every now and then
afford conclusive evidence that most
companies are in strong position.
This will prove a factor in the long

Notable increases in sterling, car

have been the striking Developments
during the past week in connection
with foreign trade and finance. There
has been good deal of search for
obscure explanations of this
strength. The obvious ones are the
continued Improvement of Graf Brit

the British government is steadily
making its plans to pay its interest
and principal in. this country and the
improving trade balance. 1t is wor-
