The activity in the leading
stock and bond markets of the
country is without precedent.
Good and inferior securities
have alike shared in the boom.
Prices in some instances have
been carried two or three times
above their true value. With
few exceptions, the leading
stocks listed on the exchanges
are selling at prices which pay
little more than 3 per cent.

average being under that figure
The craze TO speculate i'm stocks
has spread amazingly. The
movement is not the work of
professional operators alone.
Ii is the inexperienced specula-
tors who have given the impe-
tus to the upward progress of
values. They seem To think
that all they have To do is place
their money with brokers and
receive large returns. Close
observers of the market already
see signs of crash. They are
puzzled that it has not come be-
fore now. The larger opera
tors content themselves with
scalping the market-that is,
turning their paper profits into
cash whenever they have the
opportunity.
The daily sales have averaged
considerably more thanl zoo. 600
shares for a week or more and
the demand seems To be as keen
as ever. Nobody pretends that

Nobody expects that break

No, because they can be sighted.

Goodyear we.ted shoes have the
advantage that at one time could be

These shoes at SLIGO are under

because we gave shoemaker free
rein TO produce for US, at odd times,
