emerged from tho gloom precipitated by four and a half months at suspended activity on tho stock exchange Banks trust companies private bank ing houses firms and insti of all kinds have profited very generally by the boom is stocks which began with movements in war brides early in the year and sent those and kindred securities to prices undreamed of a few months before To bo sure much of the

impromptu ivill be held on all the exchanges after the close of business next Friday The produce exchange following its usual will have an enormous Christ mas tree on the trading floor and the poor children of lower Manhattan will receive gifts of toys and more material things such aa clothes shoes and other articles of apparel Some idea of the extent to which Wall street has profited by the general pros of the country may be gathered from the fact that thus far this year sales of stocks aggregate more than for tho corresponding period last bond sales totaled over against PITTSBURG BANK
