An advance averaging two points in all
the active stocks was recorded in the stock
market yesterday. The week up to this
point has been one OF continuous advances,
varying from two points to more than ten.
The close yesterday was at the high fig
ures for the day, and buying orders In
enormous quantities were still coming in.
The day marked a change in the character
of the market. Up to Thursday the buy
ing had been largely professional. for
few large people, helped by some Of the
traders. During the early part OF the day
yesterday the public began to buy stocks
heavily, especially the standard issues.
Another feature of the days business was
the broadening of speculation. 1t can no
longer be said that the day was a Burling-
ton day. despite the fact that the advance
of that stock was as sensational as here
tofOre and the buying as large. All over
the list stocks were bought in round lots
and by good people as well as the general
run of spectators. These are the facts
of the market situation as yesterday EN-
phasized il. There can be no question that
they are most encouraging. The different
ways of looking at the facts make differ
ences of opinion. but of course il is safe
to say that the commission houses and the
public in general now willing to con-
cede that there is much the look of great
boom in prices ahead in addition to what
has already occurred. This is the position
that has been taken in this column for two
days, when practically all the smaller pro-
fessionals and commission house people
were advising to sell on all bu1ges and
talking of the fear of bad setbacks Ii is
the fact and the sorry fact that this ele-
ment has taken much the same position
this week that it did two months ago when
II sold itself out and began to preach re-
action a month before any recession came,
and when prices had yet ten to twenty
points to advance to the high OF the latter
part OF January. All things are possible,
especially in the stock market. and it may
be that the brilliant record OF the past
week will have no effect on the public. and
that the leaders who have been buying by
the thousands of shares in the expectation
OF selling out to the public have made a
great mistake, but these things are not
probable. The reasonable thing TO expect
Of the situation is that today there will be
