WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. 
W. C. Langley & Co., 
Oceanside Hotel, Magnolia, 
Members of New York and Boston 
Exchanges: 
Extreme apathy, stubborn resist- 
ance to bear attacks, and a disin- 
clination to make new commitments 
on the long side until Congress ad- 
journs, and the crop situation is 
more settled, have characterized the 
market movements of the past week. 
The government crop report, unfav- 
orable as it was, failed to cause more 
than a temporary ripple in the other- 
wise placid pool of speculation. 
Everybody realized that the rains 
which are now being reported as 
general throughout the crop belt 
have made a very material change in 
the situation. But on the other hand 
the increase of 240,000 tons in steel 
orders reported by the U. S. Steel 
Corporation when a slight reduction 
had been generally expected met 
with no better response. The copper 
producers’ statement showing the 
continued improvement in that im- 
portant industry was equally dis- 
regarded. In short we are in a per- 
iod of uncertainty where nobody 
dares take the initiative. Yet all im- 
portant news is good, and favorable 
for a general advance in prices. The 
deterrent factor lies in the political 
situation, the approach of the era of 
realignment of parties foreshadowed 
by a coming presidential election.

what new radical program may be 
inaugurated in the approaching plat- 
form-building. Already the Repub- 
lican party is more radical than the 
Democratic was a few years ago, 
and the Democratic party stands for 
more socialistic principles than the 
former socialists. Is this tendency to 
continue? And if so will those of 
us who wish to stem the tide leave 
an opportunity to vote for a plat- 
form and for policies of a more con- 
servative nature? Politicians play 
a game and to a large extent advo- 
eate the principles that will gain 
them the necessary votes. They 
rarely clamor for the martyr’s stake 
unless they expect to be canonized 
during their life time. So that if it 
is borne in on them that the people 
are satisfied with the reforms that 
have been accomplished, and would 
like a period of rest in which to do 
business under the new conditions, 
we may find many experiencing a 
change of heart and advocating the 
sane and conservative course the 
keynote of which was struck by the 
recent Supreme Court decisions. It 
is this hope that sustains the large 
financiers in whose hands are ac- 
cumulated such large lines of stocks 
at the present time. They know 
that conditions were never more 
favorable for a renewed era of 
business prosperity than they are at 
the present time. Money is plentiful 
and cheap. The balance of trade is 
in our favor. Crops promise well.

a low ebb. Everything is auspicious 
for the largest industrial movement 
this country has ever seen if only 
we are given the assurance that hon- 
est business will not be interfered 
with, and that industrial conditions 
will be sufficiently stable to permit — 
a business man safely to make his 
commitments for the future. The 
strength of the present market is 
due princivally to these conditions, 
and to the confidence of our most 
conservative financiers in the ulti- 
mate common-sense of the public at 
large. 
We do not expect to see any pre- 
sent market movement of any mo-

advise the purchase of stocks both 
for immediate small returns when 
the shorts meet their inevitable de- 
feat, and for the long pull when 
values begin to discount the coming 
revival of industrial activity.

Many of these, to produce cor-

Great care is given to special shades
