Issues Beneficial to Spectators.
NEW YORK. March I0.-In the face of
an unfavorable bank statement, the stock
market closed the week agEressively
strong at about Fridays top prices.
The bucyancv displayed is a further indi-
cation Of the probability that the stronger
interests in banking and financial circles
have entered upon a long campaign on the
bull side of the market. lntrinslCally the
bank statement is Of no value. No class
OF individuals in Wall Street know how
absolutely worthless is this antiquated
compilation OF figures better than men who
are now the leaders in the market. Pro
fessional traders. who at the most scalp
in and out on either the long or the short
side usually bow down to this fetch and
plan their market operations accordingly.
This element had taken the short side
il anticipation of the unfavorable out
look which the statement gave. Nhen
they discovered, however, that there were
no stocks for sale and that the insiders
were actually bidding against them, the
traders rushed to cover, carrying the
whole list Of quotations upward.
