don't believe any gold will be sent out

The banks have lost considerable
amount of cash during the past week
and if loans are increased it will result
in a considerable reduction in the sur

reflect the shifting of position on the part
of traders. We are bullish on St Paul,
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Atchi-
son, and we look for these stocks to have
material advances within a short time,
