W YORK., December 7.—Wall s approval of President Cool- {dge’'s first message to Congressy was reflected in higher stock and bond prices and expressions of a favorable nature from leading business and ratlroad cxecutives.

Mortimer L. Schiff, a partner in Kuhn, Loeb & Co., said “It ‘s a very able document and I am greatly imprussed with its elarity of thought and language.

Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the Southern Facific executive com- mittee, thought that the message seems sound from every angle, adding that from a railroad standpoint it is falr and very encouruging. “The strong points of the message are the powerful plea for the reduc. tion of taxation and ellmination of special war taxes, the insistence upon the valldity and payment of the debts owing to us by continental countries and fair treatiment asked for the rail- Toads,” commented Laurance Tweedy, sresident of the Consolidated Stock ixchange. “The President shows his Yolitical courage in coming out flat- footedly against the bonus.” “President Coolidge has outlined a very constructive policy,” said Hu- lert T. Parsons, president of the F. V. Woolworth Company. PHIPPS LIKES MESSAGE. Co-Operates With President.

The La Follette group of republi- cans criticized features of the Presi- dent’s program, but Senater La Fol- lette himself was confined at home by illness. From the farmer-labor side came criticism of the President's ag- ricultural relief program, but com- mendation of his stand regarding Russia.
