...general, nonetheless, Johnson drew surprisingly little criticism. The New York Stock Exchange, which had begun a rise six days earlier, dipped quickly the morning after the speech but rallied within hours and, in a gigantic trading day, closed 8.35 points higher than it opened, and then kept up its steam all week (see U.S. BUSINESS). On Capitol Hill, key finance-committee leaders from both parties predicted that Congress would probably not rush consideration of a tax hike, since the President had not indicated that it was an emergency measure. But they were confident that an increase, if still necessary...
...speech before the American Football Coaches Association in Hous ton, the New York Stock Exchange's retiring president, Keith Funston, 56. did a bit of recruiting for the bulls and the bears.

Last week, after huddling with Yardley's bankers, N. M. Rothschild & Sons, Gardner urged stockholders to ignore BAT's tender offer. "We are going into battle...

(There has been criminal activity in the stock market, but not on the part of what we usually call "organized crime.") Nor has organized crime succeeded in controlling the foreign currency black markets around the world. The reason is that the market works too well.
