HENRY CLEws g. Co., Of Wall st.
says the stock market shows good
resisting qualities; strong efforts
were made to depress values, but
success was limited. The chief re-
suit was to enlarge the short inter-
est and create a buying power. At
present neither investors nor the
outside public are taking an active
part in the market; but the real
holders Of stock display such con-
tidence that the long expected re-
cessions in value donot materaliZe.
On the contrary, prices are strong,
considering the uncertainties and
changes to be faced in two or three
months. We do not look for any
important downward movement in
good railroad stocks and consider
them good purchase.
