 for Treatment
MAN UNDER ARREST

Mrs Stella Brazzle. 34. of 130 Railroad Hill street. is in St Mary's hospital suffering from severe lac- erations of the face and head. X- rays were taken today to determine whether or not her jaw is broken. She may also be suffering from con cussion of the brain. The police rescued her last evening from an infuriated husband, half-crazed with drink. He was administering ter- rible beating to her when they en- tered their home. Her face was swollen today to twice it's normal size and was in considerable pain.
 Brazzle is under arrest, charged with intoxication and breach of the peace. He may face more serious charge later.

Fact That But "A Stocks Listed on Exchange Are Sell

the buying disposition of investors nt large still further. No new devel0p- ments in business, certainly none of an unfavorable nature, have inter- vened to render the outlook less satisfactory. The situation has thus continued to represent the same dis location between market and busi- ness conditions that has been occa- sionally referred to in these advices in the past. How long these condi- tions will be maintained, or in what circumstances a change will be brought about, it is difficult to tell, inasmuch as the influences which are now at work are so largely psycho- logical and hence hard to measure. The gradual improvement of trade and manufacturing now in progress will eventually bring the corrective to the exaggerated pessimism which prevails in some minds. but the pro- cess of restoring confidence necessar- fly requires time. Meanwhile. 1t Is needful to sustain a normal point of view by going back to basic eco- homie factors in order to eliminate merely temporary elements of dis couragement.
 Conditions in the market during tHe past IcW udyS HdNc OSSH tAuo- trated by the fact that there are only some IA stocks listed on the New York Exchange which are sell ing above $100. Present values would seem to have thoroughly discount sd all known adverse conditions. The long awaited technically rally which has been so anxiously expected by so many has shown some signs of mak- ing its appearance during the past few days only to fizzle out, owing to the existing small demand. It cer. tainly is long overdue. Unquestion- ably. If a small fraction of the great sums known to be lying idle in the banks awaiting the signal to invest should be released in the market, there would be marked advance, for but little buying is necessary to bring about that result. For some reason or other there is lack of leaders at the present time. conse- quently the market is in drifting position-lilse ship without rnd- der. One of these days this situation will be changed, as it goes without saying that good stocks cannot re- main on the bargain counter for ever.
