During this time the prognosticated "creeping bear market" turned out to be, at least for the period, a "creeping bull market." On Jan. 2 the Dow Jones averages stood at (industrials) 244.20, (rails) 144.68 and (utilities) 286.38. By March 31 they had climbed to (industrials) 286.10, (rails) 157.28 and (utilities) 106.13. Notable was the fact that the first stocks to start recovering included most of the utilities (which had suffered severely in the crash). Union Carbide, American Tel. & Tel., Steel, American Can, General Electric continued as leaders. Stocks which started the year off poorly remained soft. Selling of Montgomery Ward...
Seats on the Chicago market sold as high as $50,000 in September, dropped to $24,000 in November, are back to $32,000 now. A bull on Chicago is Robert Arthur Wood, president of the Exchange.

...some, bear-taming is also suggestive of the stock market. Others who were forced to sell most of their automobiles last February would find bull-baiting more appropriate. Be that as it may. Surely it is neither kind nor dignified to ridicule an occupation chosen seriously and fraught with all the ardent idealism of youth. The chick that will emerge from the academic egg this June does not deserve a harsh rebuff. What if a few pieces of shell do grace its diminutive tail feathers! Think of the Big Bear and the Medium-sized Bear and all the little Bears...
...Bull fur seals, about 6 ft. long, 4½ ft, around, weigh from 400 to 500 Ib. They are able to stand nearly erect on land, to lollop along over a rocky beach as fast as a man, though they soon get out of breath. During the mating season they will chase creatures who trespass on their breeding grounds. Sharp-toothed, they can bite savagely. They live to be about 14 years old. They arrive at the Pribilof Islands early in May, three weeks before the cows, stay there until August. Each bull has a seraglio of from...
