There has been no activity in the stock
market during the past week and busi-
ness again has been almost entirely pro-
fessional. Nevertheless the market must
be considered to have been fairly satisfac-
tory by conservative people who expect a
higher price Level this spring but do not
wish or expect a boom" There is some
misunderstanding regarding what has oc-
CURED in the market during the past
month or six weeks. The average trader
and perhaps a large majority Of people
who watch the market in a casual way. are
probably under the impression that Febru-
airy and March have been bear months
with weak and declining prices. This idea
has been started probably by the hurrah
over the decline in Third Avenue, which
has hurt no one in Washington and only
few people anywhere and by the slump in
Sugar, which has hurt many people who
perhaps ought 10 have known better The

with good reason why this record should
be considered a discouraging one.
During the coming month the situation.
market-wise will undergo an important
change. II should be remembered that
these advances in prices have been made
with a constantly decreasing amount Of
cash in the New York banks. and with inn
