In the most mastery and eloquent
manner he - started his Grafton by
pointing out the part that Negroes
must take in the world of progress.

an active part in the general trend of
progress" he said.

ed about living wage because with

low"

NOT
MUCH HURT BY.
MARKET CRASH
Rapid Shift Of Security VAL
ues Had Little Effect on
the Outlook

New York, March 5.-LP-Wall
street and business circles were in a
cheerful mood today.
Wall streets JOY came from stop
to sensational declines in stocks the
last few days. Business was pleased
because it was little affected; be-
cause declines in stocks found trade
more divorced from Wall street than
had been the case previously when
the market tumbled.
Leaders in the business and bank
ing world say that probably for the
first time in history of stock mar
ket upheavals they have been able to
watch the rapid shift Of security val
.ucs without fears Of consequent dan
gers to business in general.
A National Rally
Yesterdays sharp recovery Of the
stock market from the sensational
drop 'of Tuesday and Wednesday is
said by financial experts to be due to
natural rally in technically over
sold market, the comparative cheap
ness of sound securities and opti-
mistic statements of Secretaries Mel
lon and Hoover that there is nothing
in the business situation to warrant
a collapse Of security values.
Good judges Of the market are d.
vidcd in opinion as to what the mar
kct will do next. Some believe sec.
ondary reaction to yesterdays big
advance is due, while others feel that
the advance will be stable because
gilt edge securities were driven be-
low their actual value.
Many Advances Yesterday
Compilation Of yesterdays sales
varied from 2,62O,4OO shares to g.
Cog, 289 as compared with Wedncs-
days record Of 3,7B5.7O Advances
of five to 25 points were made in
scores Of issues. The advance in av-
eragc was almost five points. al
though stocks are still far below their
years high.
Although the total paper loss has
been computed as anywhere from
one and Il half to four billions and
up. only mere fraction Of tho gain
of the last 81 months has been wiped
out.
