S., a rising market means that business is all right and a declining market is a sign of woe, fortelling that unemployment will again exceed its "normal" quota of 10,000,000. When the market is down the New Deal begins to look for new brands of unemployment reducers and market restorers. Last week, it was obviously twirling the dial in search of the right wavelength on which to broadcast a new offensive against renewed depression...
