Sturgis & Co. wire Holbert & Son: The
market has been almost surfeited with
bull points, alleged imaginations and
that which goes to make higher prices.
1t is almost time now that The specula-
tive public should stop and think whether
great deal Of the natural and legiti-
mate prosperity to which the country
may obtain has not been discounted. The
tendency to sell stocks has been some-
what augmented by the course of Sugar
and the vagaries of that stock are such
as to almost prohibit operations in 1t by
transactions on sensible lines. We do
not contemplate any very sharp decline
in the market, but we look for mode
rate weakening on the stocks which have
been most extensively bought on mar
gins.
