Note two other measures. the
daily volume and the list of
most-active stocks. The volume
Of the New York Stock Ex-
change generally ranges from
8 million to 5 million shares. If
the volume dries UP when the
market is declining. that is an
optimistic or publish" sign. But
If volume increases as stock
prices fall. that is bad, or bear
ish." Conversely, q rise on ex-
panding volume is good, while
a rise on q smaller volume is
suspect.
Also available to investors is
q list Of the 10 or is stocks most
actively traded at the latest
session. The list indicates the
current fads among traders or
the trend in thinking of big

place is surpassed by few in the Nation.
During Washington's presidency
one of the earliest arms plants was
built in Harpers Ferry. In 1919, John
Hall, gunsmith, manufactured rifles
by mass production methods for the
first time.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Canal from
Washington reached the town in 1893
in the transportation race it ultimately
lost to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
which got there year later. The skele-
ton Of the canal is visible. The B&O is
still very much alive, roaring out ofthe
Maryland tunnel and into the town.
Fanatical John Brown in 1859
shuffled out of the Maryland hills bear
ing the banner of anti-slavery into the
Ferry, and died martyr to that cause.
The fire-engine house in which he was
captured still stands.
Then came Wharf.-The Civil War. A
key strategic point to both North and
South, Harpers Ferry changed hands
with depressing regularity. The town
died, war casualty, from all the bonn
bardments and burnings.
1t never, in fact, quite came back
until the National Park Service bought
the lower portion and began restoring
it as national monument.
The restorers are casting darkly

sheer rock above the railroad tunnel.
Done in 1906, it reads:

In way, it would be a shame if
Mr.. Maxwell's loathsOme masterpiece
were ever erased. It's been there so
long. Besides, he succeeded in paint
ing it only by having his wife lower him
