briskly in the hay and the timely as
sistance of Mr.. Ritchford smothered
what may have been bad confagra-
tion.
The fire department was called out,
but aside from slight use of the
chemical the apparatus was not re-
quired.

speciaI Dispstcb to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 26.-A week ago
it was remarked that stocks had moved
up moderately in face of widespread
pessimism in Wall street circles and in
face of rather Oppressive trade re-
ports. The same can be said for the
week that has now passed. The pro-
fessionai element early in the period
continued to work for lower prices
talking about the business recession as
If it were a serious thing, and empha-
sizing the uncertainties Of the political
outlook. In a measure this attitude
was supported by much Of the current
industrial data, which told a story of
and production coming down. But the
stock market, toward the end Of the
week. moved directly counter to all this
and gave a display Of genuine buoy
ancy.
Change for Better Reflected.
The change for the better reflected
on the one hand a feeling that the i'm
portance of the past months trade re-
action had been exaggerated, and that
1T had been more than discounted by
the Is to 20 point decline on the stock
exchange since the end of January. On
the other hand, 1t reflected a distinctly
more cheerful view of politics.
The position has been taken all along
| in this column that the oil scandals
and the other sensations promised were
never a really formidable influence in
| the Wall street situation. There was
a great deal of twaddle at the time
about their undermining confidence .
but actually they were a mere excuse
for a pause in industry and break in
stocks which were due to come about
anyway. Still, it was true that for a
considerable interval Wall street had
lost the assurance it had felt at the
beginning of the year over the presi.
Dental campaign. The idea prevailed
that the success of a conservative can.
didate could no longer be counted upon
and hence that the picture painted In
January of business and the markets
"discounting' satisfactory outcome iI
November must be abandoned. The
primary elections have changed senti.
ment again and undoubtedly this
change has had much to do with the
recovery on the stock exchange.
