stocks act accordingly.
At this writing "wednesday
noon, one can say on the bull
side that several features in the
recent market action look favor
able. For example, bonds raj
lied quite strongly Tuesday, after
declining steadily for seven days.
The most active stocks indica-
ted a turn Monday and rose
Tuesday. This shows improved
market sentiment.
The prolonged sag in bid prices
has been checked, indicating
greater confidence in values.
On Tuesday, the selling pres
sure toward the close brought no
considerable weakness. If there
was no volume on the rally, neither
did any develop as the rally faded.
That, however, is about all one
can say as to favorable market
action. On the bear side, one
notes that several of the leaders"
have shown relative weakness.
Also the volume of trading has
been suspiciously small during the
rally. If stocks were supported"
on Monday, there may be fair
amount of selling to digest yet.
More fundamental is the fact
that business prospects are not
stimulating, with the labor situa-
ton threatening, Western farmers
hurt by drought, and the business
curve rounding off.
But when all is said, it seems
to me significant that after a
prolonged gradual recession the
market has come to a Stabiliza-
ton point Temporarily, at
least) exactly at the December
low, and just little above the
general level 1 suggested in my
Monday article. Here we find
the January February move
based on Government spending
and "free silver" Stimulants,
Just wiped out. Weak positions
must be pretty well cleaned up.
And a good many stocks may be
found which may be said to be
worth current prices.
The market action is not such as
to suggest any large or sustained
rise in the near future. The fun"
damental factors do not seem to
warrant such rise. Business is
shaky. Most leading stocks are
certainly not too low-not SO low
as to induce investors to rush in
and buy for yields. Nor has the
decline been of that sharp drastic
character which leads to an lover"
sold" condition.
On the other hand, as nearly as
one can tell in such times as
these, the bad news which led
to the decline is about "out."
And, while not oversold, the
market has largely corrected the
preceding excuses.
Perhaps, therefore, the logical
thing for it to do is to undergo
a period of dizziness and little
movement. 1t may well fiddle
around for week or so while
digesting the prospective stock
exchange control, the prediction
policies of the Ne'6 Dealers, and
a quiet business summer.
Charts are inconclusive. One
might expect a secondary reac'
ton" here; but there was NO
pronounced selling climax, mol
any sharp rally. With no great
short interest or public particl
patton, the typical secondary
is not likely.
1 can see little invitation IN
the market to speculative traders
MY position is that some stocks
are in a fair buying range, ano
if they are not menaced by
organized labor or Government
regulation, cautious buying fol
investment is warranted. There
are possibilities that adverse
New Deal schemes may cause
prices to work a little lower still
and one should therefore reserve
part of ones available funds

A flower booth containing a wide
variety of flowers and shrubs-some
of them with interesting and unusual
histories-will be one of the features
of the street fair to be held by the
Newspaper Women's Club of Wash
ington on the afternoon and evening
of May in the auditorium Of the
National Press Club. Mrs. Lillian B.
Arthur, in charge of the booth, has
assembled the collection.
A slip from the Nellie Gusts rose
bush at Mount Vernon Is one of the
outstanding gifts to the booth. The
story is that it was while standing by
this rose bush that Lawrence Lewis
proposed to Miss Custis, and it is from
this romantic association that the
plant has come to be known as the
marrying rose bush" There is a
tradition that if young lady stands
with the gentleman of her choice
beside the Nellie Gusts rose bush,
proposal and marriage will inevitably
follow. The slip will be sold from the
flower booth at the fair only to a
debutante. Coreopsis and ivy from
Mount Vernon will also appear ON
this stand.
Cut Plants Donated.
Mrs. Henry Parsons Erwin has do
mated from the gardens of Arbremont
a number of cut flowers and plants,
including the old English plant, pop
ular in the rural districts of England,
known as "Old Man in the Garden %
The plant is very rare, and it is be-
lieved that there are only two of them
in this country. 1t also has an an
cient and romantic tradition. When
young couple from the rural districts
marry they Immediately plant this
shrub in the garden of their new
home If the bush thrives, it signi-
fies to the young man and his bride
that their marriage will be happy and
successful. The plant is therefore
given the most tender and careful
attention by the young couple in the
early days of their welded life.
Ivy from warwick Castle and from
Kenilworth Castle. England. has been
contributed by Mrs. Charles Leonard
Chambers of Bethesda. and a slip
from the unique green rose plant, an
inheritance of several generations in
the family of her husband. has been
donated by Mrs. Arthur. The plant
