Compared with other depression-years, the wonder was not that two houses had failed within the month but that many more firms had not failed months ago. Even such an arch-conservative as the New "York Times' Alexander Dana Noyes berated Wall Street for a pessimism as ex-treme as its fantastic optimism of last year.
