corners are not indications of healthy state of the
market but the operations Of the bears tempt such
movements, and the game seems to be more equal
under such circumstances Pending the result OF
operations like these items Of intelligence, however
pregnant with war, competition, or "decreased
earnings" have but little effect The closing prices
