But the full payment advocates
in both branches were FESTIVE.

special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, February 28.-After

curb market picked up speed on the
down side.
Leading power and light issues such
rs Electric Bond a. Share, American
Gas q Electric, American Superpower.
Commonwealth Edison and Middle
West Utilities recorded declines ranging
from small fractions to points. Cities
Service was easier by fraction.
Although some of the pivotal shares
appeared tired in the first hour, a few
specialties enjoyed wide swings on both
sides of the market. In this category
were Meade johnson, up more than
points and at a new peak: Deere & Co.,
Of over points, and Aluminium Ltd,
Z OF points.
Later Aluminium Co. of America sold
on approximately points. Meanwhile,
New Jersey Zinc opened up point and
most Of the red metal shares started
fractionally lower.
Gains reported by automobile and ac-
ceSsory makers stimulated demand for
these two groups, without bringing
about important price changes. Unlike
in the previous session, the shares of
pipe manufacturers sagged, with A. o.
Smith going through its usual wide
swings and Dresser Manufacturing A
and B shares moving within a narrower
range.
Lehigh Coal & Navigation rested
after its recent squirt. Earning esti-
mates showing the Glen Alden dividend
rate not covered last year caused some
offerings of that issue.

NEW YORK, February 2s.-Though
Wall Street has been going on the as
sumption for some days that the bot
tom Of the depression had been rele-
gated definitely to the fast dimming
recesses of history, the Street was in
tereSted yesterday in the declaration of
Roy A. Young, governor of the Federal

Of contention among economists, has
engaged for weeks the entire debating
time of all that host of commentators,
observers, Statisticians and others who
make 1t their full-time Job to analyze
business and the stock market.
A recent historical novel, which dealt
accurately with events during a sweep
ing business depression in the opening
years of the nineteenth century, showed
that even then this question was fore
most in the public eye. The bottom
was reached virtually every day-a new
bottom until one day the Wall Street
of that distant time walked to find a
roaring bull market on It's hands, ships
laden with cargoes hastily departing for
the worlds markets, and every pro-
Queer in the United States speeding his
factories to catch up with demand.
AS evidence that the turn Is here,
Mr.. Young cited the fact that the tex
tile industry shows signs of renewed
activity. In the early nineteenth CEN
tury depression, It was cotton that car
ried the banner of returning prosperity
and was hailed as king by the Industrial
world.

With regard to the bankers accept

which is one of the principal dealers

to the ease in money, there has been

those on the East Coast. It has not

In 1880, both of these canals showed
substantial decreases in tonnage; the
Panama Canal dropping IS per cent,
while the SueZ Canal showed a loss of
about 20 per cent.
Idle tonnage increased. too, with
Great Britain the principal sufferer
While shipbuilding in the yards of
Great Britain and Ireland dropped of

A. E. Sanderson of the United States
Department Of Commerce, authority for
these figures, says: The chronic weak
ness of the freight market indicates
that recovery from the present depres-
sion is not likely to be more than
gradual"
Nevertheless, there Is a distinctly bet
ter feeling everywhere, not only In the
United States. but throughout the world.
There Is even now growing opin-
ion that business is on the upgrade, and
that the December lows on the stock
market will not be reached again. At
least not for long time.
