In tho stock market this week The check

scnce OF support from tho large sreeula-

favorable developments. Railroad earnings
in particular present very encouraging re-
suits. the August net OF the Burlington,
PENNSYLVANIA. Erie and other roads being
fully UP TO previous expectations. The in
creased activity of the iron and steel trade
might also be supposed 10 have good
effect. These factors, however. seem to
have had no effect. and the efforts OF bear
traders TO depress prices and cause furth-
er liquidation met with little or no OPP
position, In conservative circles the pre-
valent impression Is that the extension OF
speculation had reached a stage where
large interests scented danger from al
lowing X 20 continue unchecked and tho
withdrawal OF support by such people was
destined TO avert a more severe shock TO
