responsible party who yesterday made
heavy purchases of Sugar which he was
unable to pay for today, that stock has
been uncertain and heavy With this ex-
ception stocks have been steady and have
developed a fresh upward tendency that
bids fair to develop into rational bull
market at no distant date. We find that
our friends are feeling more and more
confident that the market can stand alone
and are buying stocks. We note that the
Steel & Wire dividend is having a good
influence and while the public have not

erty and while the stock is as yet taken
with some doubt, yet the same class of
securities. National Steel and Steel Hoop
are gaining sympathy and are distinctly a
purchase for 10 points or more. Specula-
ton, which was rudely driven from these
shares in December, Is returning to them
and their phenomenal earnings are now
attracting purchasers. We feel decidedly
hopeful of very much better market
and are quite willing to recommend Read

move.
