WALL STREETII75 7
MIGHTY FICKLE
Optimistic One Day, It’s Down
in the Valley of Pessimism
the Next.
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK. June 6. -If you have
never breathed the air of Wall Street
' you can have not the faintest idea of
how important every little fluctuation in
the stock market is—to those on the*
spot. If you live a hundred or a thou
sand miles away, you realize that the sun
does not rise and set in the New York
stock exchange.
Wall Street has been enjoying itself
this spring, its hopes and its quotations
have soared. This, too, in spite of much
turmoil and not a few concrete discour
agements.
But on Friday of last week prices tum
bled. Some stocks went down at the
rate of a dollar an hour during the great
er part of the day. And mercurial Wall
Street suddenly lost its buoyancy. The
heavens were surely gning to fall.
Now, a calm study of the things that
gn to create genuine prosperity does not
justify this transformation in sentiment.
If conditions justified high prices for
stocks a week ago or a fortnight ago.
they should not cause a break now.
Agriculture, trade, the money market
find the weather are all doing very nice
ly, while politics are today no worse than
they were—a beautifully indefinite state
ment. admittedly.
Why, then, the severe relapse in stocks'’
After careful investigation in the right
quarters, here is the explanation ob
tained :
Margin Traders Attacked.
The upward movement in stocks
has not had general support from the
strongest interests. The greatest
gains have been made in low-priced
specialties. Many margin traders
have been attracted. Success em
boldened them to wade in deeper. A
raid by- operators not committed to
the boomlet frightened weak holders,
and they scurried from the scene at
any cost.
Rumors of financial difficulties, of the
possible embarrassment of individuals or
firms or institutions were not counte-j
nanced in responsible circles. From an
“inside” source this assurance was ob
tained: “Banking trouble is out of the
question. Monetary conditions are sound
The fluctuations in stocks are being taken
too seriously. They do not represent the
very important developments sometimes
ascribed?'
So, if you read that the stock market
is getting excited, do not conclude that
anything, terrible has happened.
’l'he truth is that many financiers of
keen judgment have not been in any way
responsible for the spring advance in
stocks These authorfties have simply
stood pat. Others, however, especially
one nr two speculative coteries, have gone
ahead enthusiastically, ignoring unfavor
able happenings, nr. when that was im
possible. belittling them.
Elements For a Big Scare.
To’ some extent Wall Street has been
whistling to keep its courage up. Quite
probably the whistling will stop and
feme sound less cheerful will take its
. place before November I A political
scate in the stock market is one of the
usual accompaniments of a presidential
campaign And certainly there are not
lacking on this occasion elements for a
full-blooded, old-fashioned outburst.
A queer incident has happened. One
of America's ablest international bank
er's. a power in the railroad world and a
man of wide influence, has completely
turned his political coat. He used to be
a fervid opponent of Mr. Roosevelt—not
without special reason in his case. Now
he wants tn have Mr. Roosevelt elected
president. Here are his reasons:
Mr. Roosevelt is the only man in
the United States able to handle and
guide the revolutionary spirit that has
taken possession of the country. Elect
a conservative president, and the
"have nots" would before long get be
yond orderly control. The experiences
of Great Britain Is a warning to
America. The people must receive
greater consideration, more generous
treatment than in the past. If they
do not get it. they are likely, sooner
or later, to rise up and try to take it.
Roosevelt can placate them better
than any other American.
Oh. yes, capitalists are not living in a
fool’s paradise. They are not without
serious thoughts these days. They are
rot oblivious to the world-trend toward
a fuller democracy. Some of them —un-
fortunately quite a number of them still
want to kick against the pricks, to defy
' the tendencies of the age, to act with
an Iron hand and an unsympathetic
heart But eyes are being gradually
opened The stern facts are coming to
be realized. “What is to be done about
it"" is the question much pondered by
men- of large affairs
Each Triumph a New Nall.
So, therefore, the financial world is not
as’ indifferent tn current political events
as surface indications would lead the
public to believe Each triumph of Mr.
Roosevelt is picturod as a new nail ham
bored into the coffin of conservatism
f Capital does not like it of that have no
doubt. But capital, like Hip rest of us.
must strive to make a virtue of necessity.
Whatever* can not bp cured must be en
dured. Wo must needs adapt ourselves
to circumstances.
| With this in mind, does not the inci
dent here related take on very deep sig
nificance?
In > ’her directions progress can be

I has stimulated retail trade, encouraged
F building operations ami had a sentiment
al influence all over. The steel boom has
filled up the mills with orders, hut at

Copper continues to rise: unless this
movement is kept within bounds con
sumption will be Injured and fresh trou
hies may accrue

suggests that financial leaders are acting
cautiously pending more definite ideas
as to bow agriculture and politics are to
