Weekly Business Review

New York Mar. 7-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The SOLDERING influ-
ences of tbs sudden and drastic de-
cline in stock prices last week were
evident in all business circles, which
did not conceal their fear that the
possible sequel to the stock market
reaction might be period of trade
depression.
In the visible aspects Of the specu-
lative shake-out however, there ap-
peared to be no justification for seri-
Gus alarm regarding business pros
poets. Financial circles have recog-
nized for some weeks that the pace
of commercial activities was slacken-
ing but not at a rate to cause undue
concern. Leading bankers and in
dustrialists have testified to the
soundness of fundamental conditions.
But the bidding up of security values
to dizzy heights was based on the
rosy promises of unlimited expansion
which have clearly failed to materi-
alize. and the readjustment. quite as
extreme as the preceding advance.
was accepted as a natural correction
OF speculative extravagences.
To some degree, business opinion
held, the change in the course of the
markets. Is bound to haveIan effect
upon trade. although not necessarily
an adverse or prolonged influence.
The reins of credit probably will be
frightened in certain quarters and a
feeling Of greater caution doubtless
will prevail until the financial ard
business centers have fully recovered
their equilibrium.
The actual movements OF trade
last week were illuminated by the re-
views of conditions in the steel in.

Weeks Review of
Financial, Stock
An Business Markets

New York. March 6--(By the AS
ISOLATED Press)-Overshado all
other developments In the weeks fin-
ancial markets was the sensational
break in stock prices, the greatest in
history, followed by an irregular re-
covery, the ultimate effect of which
was the chief subject of discussion
in Wall Street when the week clos
ed. Stock trading had no sooner re-
turned to normal proportions, how
ever, when the BRAND ministry fell
in France as a result of it's legislative
defeat on the sales tax, and French
francs crumbled over IL points to
around $50 cents, or within striking
distance of the years low of 3.54 1-2
cents
While opinion of professional stock
market observers is still divided as
to the next definite trend of prices,
there was an almost unanimity of
agreement on several points. These
were: l, that speculative operations
on the long side had been grossly
overdone in many issues; 2, that the
technical position of the market has
been improved by the recent reac-
ton; g., that the decline was not as
Sociated with any actual change in
business, although the future trend
of business is still controversial
subject; 4. that imitation of security
values was not accompanied by in
flation of commodity prices or BUSH
ness generally, and, 5, that there is
no strain on the credit situation,
which has been fore runner of most
of the violent declines of the past.
In some quarters the usual spring
rise in stock prices is looked for with
the oils and coppers, which had not
participated extensively in the recent
advance. in the forefront: while in
other quarters opinions equally as
positive are held that the "bulP'
movement. which has been in prog
ress over two years is definitely over,
and that the bear" market is under

UNCLE JOE CANNON.

The United States lost a real, stall
wart American in the passing of I'm
Gle Joe Cannon, venerable statesman
and patriot. The death of the grizz-
led Illinois veteran was received
with regret everywhere. Newspapers
and public men who fought him in
the hey-day of his powers, vie with
each other in paying tribute when the
Grim Reaper laid him low.
From this parting public tribute,
the present day politicians should
gather a valuable lesson. The ad-
miration for Uncle Joe was well nigh
universal in America. He was loved
by his friend because of his stalwart
unflagging support of the principles
in which he believed. He was ad-
mired by his political opponents, for
his courage and his consistency. At
all times, in the hour of victory and
in the day of defeat Uncle Joe stood
by his principles. When it became
evident that the principles for which
he fought were to pass under cloud,
the grizzled old veteran did not de-
sert the ship. He fought all the hard
er for what he believed to be right in
the face of certain defeat. And then
when the cloud had passed and his
theories had been vindicated, he was
the same calm, stalwart, cheerful
Uncle joe Always the same, always
the real constructive American.
That is why ne was respected by
friend and foe alike, and here is the
lesson for the present-day politician.
The Gemagogue may gain passing
power and popularity by bending to
the popular passion, knowing that the
temporary craze may be unsafe and
unsou1d. But sooner or later his pol
itical sins find him out and ne IS bur-
led under an avalanche that leaves
him nothing but oblivion The only
way to gain lasting fame, and what
is even better, the esteem of friend
and foe alike, is to stand firm for
principle in victory and in defeat.
That is the lesson which the life of
Uncle Joe Cannon has for the politi-
clan and statesman of the present
generation.
