WHAT THE BROKERS SAY.

sullivan and Sullivan-The recent
panic in the stock market has been a
battle of giants, Among the factors
that have entered into it are an attack
on the trust companies by the big ma
tional Banks OF New York and an at
tempt 10 break certain successful men
i'm the market. like Anthony Brady,who
have made 4 lot OF money and some of
the other big fellows want 20 squeeze
ID out of them. The trust companies
have been in competition with the ma
tionsl banks 10 keep money rates down
and they took on a lot of securities
which were good bur the price of which
has now been beaten down TO figure
that threatens the holders with disas-
ter or course everybody is now dis
couraGed But the country has not got
through with prosperity yet and neith-
cr has the stock market. Railroad earn
ings are heavy and will continue to be
SO. industrial corporations are bending
under the load of orders. But mtSl with
capital are buying stocks now right in
this city. These stocks will be put away
and held There Is no money 20 be call
ed On them besause they are bought
outright. The Withdrawal of big sums
of money from the banks all over the
country TO buy stocks may cause high
rates but the stocks will not be sold
until they have gone up. There is no
question about IL. Certain stocks may
turn around even now and go as low
or lower than they have been. But we
believe that the time 90 begin to buy is
.noW and Tor bigger rise than the mar
ket has yet seen.
