...Gardens was unhappy-and last week it sprang its own trap. A reform ticket, voted in by 72-6, took over the government, with the new mayor, grey-haired Mrs. Hazel Shattock, pledged to abolish the speed trap.

The big test of whether the market has seen its low will come in the next six weeks, when companies release their first-quarter earnings. Railroads, copper and other metals, already hard hit in 1957, are not likely to improve. Nevertheless, Wall Street feels that the basis is being laid for a rise in late 1958 and 1959.
