Stocks were not particularly active. but prices
were generally firm. with more net gains than
losses at the close Commission house business
was not heavy. Traders who pstronize the big
brokerage firms in Wan Street show no DISPOSE
ton to operate in stocks, save for turn. and IN
following this course they carry out the advice
of their brokers, who are now urging caution
tn all speculative transactions. Regular Gus
touers who watch brokers' blackboards through

the last few days and mail orders have also
been larger but general public demand IoT
