This is apparently appreciated by a good
many small investors. Evidence upon that
point is found In the unusually large number
OF fractional amounts OF stock which are
bought at prices slightly above tho regular
market. Buying Of this character has been
going on for several weeks and steadily in
creasing in volume. One Of tho brokers
who makes q speciality OF supplying the de-
mands for various stocks in less amounts than
100 shares states that last week he transferred
$500 shares in odd lots. Another broker en-
gagged in the same line OF business tells his
associates that the withdrawal OF stocks from

ushers will contribute materially in attracting
them to tho church.
