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 notetl The weather has been distinctly k more helpful to the growing crops, it has L revived courage both South and West, it 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 low pricos. so that profits may continue small for the greater part of the year. Copper continues to rise: unless this movement is kept within bounds con sumption will be Injured and fresh trou hies may accrue 1 Investment is slow This single fact suggests that financial leaders are acting cautiously pending more definite ideas as to bow agriculture and politics are to , turn out.
