Evidence that the stock market

when IL refuses to notice news de-

been accommodating for several days
and was rather strikingly exempli-
fied this morning in lack OF atten-

business situation. Rail trafic is
holding well at the peak of the year
and is only slightly below the
heaviest on record. the steel indus
try is operating at rather better
than the prewar peak. failures are
decreasing and. most important of
all. the prices OF farm products in
the face OF better than average
crops have advanced substantially.
Yet the market has ignored all
these developments just az this

compared with a series of recent
