We're it not for the deeply grounded bull feeling
which exists the steadiness OF the market would be
unaccountable. However firmly the belief may be
held that the current year is bull year
1t is not to be gainsaid that prices
especially those of the grangers have
been pushed to an artificial altitude. Neither is it
to be gainsaid that prominent holders have been
large sellers of these stocks and that the control has
passed from strong hands into weak ones. Never
tAeless prices hold their own, and the decline which
0aght to follow and which would be entirely healthy
in its significance has not yet come and may not
come at ALL The probabilities are. however against
