much about European travel. He had
to rsake some sketches in the villages

unfair to say that it was either strong or
weak as a whole. In a general way the
industrials were the strong features ana
the buying of the high priced railway
stocks was not as good as the selling.
Sugar Colorado Fuel and Iron, 4 can,
see Coal and iron. the gas stocks, the
coppers, and the two Leather securities
ali made handsome gains and SOLD at new
high prices for the movement. Inc
grangers, the Pacifics, the anthracite
coalers, the Goulds, and the Southern Sc
curities generally were Teactionary, on
the other hand, losing all the opening
gains before the close, which was for
the most part near the bottom level for
the daV.
The times., 1901-04-16

The comment made on this condition OF
things by me ST careful market people was
that q switch from the railways to the
industrials does not argue well for the
continued strength of the market. 1t is,
Of course the fact that the industrlaiS
have not had their proportionate snare
OF the advance curing the past SIX
months and il might be argued that the
advance here is only natural and healthy.
bat the fact remains that as a general
rule the abandonment of the railway Sc
curities for the industriais in any boom
means that the market is getting into less
important and less strong hands. This,
in fact is exactly what is occurring as
