In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, May 20.—The deadlock in congress over the tariff seems to have been broken and passage of the bill in form favorable to the President is in immediate prospect. Not so much what the revision of the tariff promises, but rather the settlement of points at issue and the removal of an element of uncertainty which surrounded many lines of industry, is the important thing. To wh&t extent the tariff situation has contributed to the present inertia of general business it is difficult to surmise. Competent observers attribute the reactionary tendency of the stock market the last few days to considerable bear pressure. There is noticeably no desire on the part of the public to sell stocks. The public attitude is more that of indifference. The fact that the optimistic statement from Washington yesterday did not cause as much as a ripple in the market proves conclusively that business must speak for itself. To an investor who is looking ahead we continue to suggest that many good securities during recessionary periods offer attractive investments. Drink Victim Sues MARION. Ind..

Appeals on two suits to halt development of the Indianapolis Me- [ morial Park cemetery were dismissed by Merle Walker and Thomas Stevenson, counsel for plaintiffs, in the Indiana supreme court today, and the way cleared for development of the $1,000,000 cemetery along Kessler boulevard. The suits were appealed by the city and Mr. and Mrs. Earl Cox, property owners. Passage of an ordinance repealing the ban on cemeteries within 1,000 feet of a boulevard was being held up today by city council pending an agreement between Jackiel W. Joseph, park board member, and Indianapolis Memorial Park cemetery officials. Joseph, counsel for the Broadmoor Country Club, objected to passage of the measure Monday night before the removal of two graves within 500 feet of Kessler boulevard. Attorneys had signed agreements that the cemetery would “make every effort” to remove the graves in consideration of the promise to dismiss supreme court appeals.
