amending the Constitution. That
would require years. 1t would be

to stop the flood of new issues and

such a complete cure as a Federal
amendment, and II Is difficult to sec
how II could be made constitutional.
The subject Is full of difficulties. II
Is these difficulties that the Congress

Does the Market Discount?

1t is the fond illusion of MANY
traders that the market discounts com.
ing events. While this is true in some
instances, It is seldom true of the mar.
ket as a whole. One analyst points
out: wall street likes to think that
the market runs ahead Of business. 1t
probably runs ahead of the public's
knowledge of business changes, which
in particular instances are not known
for some time after they occur, but its
fluctuations are usually simultaneous
with the changes in business" With
uncertainty creeping into business
sentiment for the immediate outlook,
there is apparently little for the mar.
ket to go ahead on now. Easier money
and hope of stabilized conditions abroad
will prove of great Importance in the
long run. Their immediate effect has
already been apparent in stocks.
