 Despite last weeks recession in stock and grain prices to the low est levels of the year, there has been little tendency to attribute the reason to any prospective turn for the worse in the business situation On the other hand, Wall street has found some encouragement in not ing that both markets are now back where they were in the closing week of 1924, when conditions were wide | ly believed to foreshadow an era of unexampled prosperity for the country.
