Mr.. Major, the famous cement man. OF
New York explains some very interesting
facts about Majors Cement

better than other cements for which similar
claims are made. ont a great many do not
know why. The simple reason Is that d.
Major uses the best material ever discover
ed and other manufacturers do not use
them, because they are too expensive and
do not allow large profits Mr.. Major tells
US that one of the elements of his cement
costs S3. 75 pound. and another costs - IS
a gallon, while large share of the so-called

Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty five cents a bottle, and when a deal

a large profit.
The prof. on Majors cement is as much
as anV dealer ought to make on any cement.

the Investment buying by important peo-

on the bull side. When these conditions

There is a somewhat better foundation

1t should be pointed out very carefully
that such reaction as that now predict
ed is not an indication of poor intrinsic
conditions, or of any loss of value IN Sc
curitieS 1t is technical matter entirely.
1t means that the insiders find the pub
lie becoming too eager to buy stocks on
small margins and consider it time to
allow of a wedding out of such weak ac-
co 1ntS. 1t is very certain that the lnSld-
ers, and the big institutions generally, are
not yet selling any large part of their
inS eStments in first-Class securities. There
are less of such securities in the floating
supply than ever before in the history
of the exchange, it is said They have
been taken up and put into the strong
boxes. This means that the rich men
look for much higher prices, ultimately,
say in the coming two years, during
which, MIR. Morgan is alleged to have
said, the boom will continue. And the
reasons that appeal to such men as Mr..
Morgan for buying and holding stocks are
to be found by anyone, who is familiar
with business conditions. Railway
earnings are superb, beyond all eXpecta-
ton, and industrial earnings are improv-
ing steadily. The exports of the coun-
try are almost beyond belief and their
excess over imports Is so great that the
United States is rapidly becoming the
creditor nation for the entire world. The
consolida tons of the railways and indus
trial companies will make earnings even
larger than they are now, according to
all expert computations. The immense
sums that have been expended in better
begin to draw interest at a high rate.
Money conditions are easier than ever
before. For the moment there is triiiing
tendency toward hardening of rates in
New York, hut this condition cannot pos
sibly be anything more than transitory.
For these reasons the pessimist that
sells stocks short in the expectation of
seeing them get back to the level OF five
years ago in the near future is certain
to be woefully sorry Tor it. 1t is not In
the least probable that the level of six
months ago will be reached this year or
next. Stocks are not only up now, but
they are up permanently. Their average
level will he much higher than the aver
age of any recent year. On the recess
sions of five to ten points due to technical
condition, the buying of stocks is adj
vised.
