we sec very little in the present
situation to cause n radical change in
values either way. New Orleans reports
strong German houses who have been
hearlsh all along now afraid to sell,
and that probably represents the posi-
ton Of the entire bear element; the
bulls see nothing but the low prices
tomorrow; no advance, and con
sequently both sides being very uncer-
tain OF their position, the market is
held within narrow range with trading
almost at standstill.
