Despite the break caused by these
events prices rallied almost to their

Money Will Rule High,

Facts, However, Point to
Resumption of Strength
Tendencyto Rally'shown
in Days Late Dealings.

NEW YORK. Oct S.-Whenever, af-
ter a prolonged movement of prices in
one direction upon the stock market, a
period of dullness comes. but the ex-
pectation of the speculative community
still holds almost universally for re-
sumption of the interrupted movement
in the near future. experienced oper-
ators usually believe in taking profits
and retiring, if only temporarily, from
the procession.
They find, in the common phrase OF
the stock exchange, that they have too
much company on the bull or bear
side. as it may be; and unwary traders
who have been following the leadership
of these older and shrewder men arc
much disgusted at the discovery that
their CAPTAINS have, without warning,
changed their position on the market.
Present Gloom Great.
At present the gloom in Wall Street
is very great Commission houses are
dlscouraging speculative purchases, and
the common talk is that money viii
rule at prohibitive rates for an in
definite time. pools must liquidate fur
ther and spread general ruin in their
smashing, etc. All the small fry are
selling stocks short as industriously as
they were buying them at inflated prices
a month ago. and are waiting anxiously
for the bottom 10 drop out of the mar
ket. Here the lessons of the past rise
in the minds of those who did not come
to Wall Street yesterday.
The action of the stock market yes
terday and today goes far toward indi-
eating that an illustration of the truth
iof these old maxims is preparing. 1t
was the action of an oversold market
which had found buyers atits low point.
I, The general influences which led to the
recent drop in prices were still in evil
dence. leading bankers and others COM
petent to speak declaring that reason
ably high rates for the use of money
on time and on demand would rule for
good while yet, and that further clos
ing out of speculative commitments By
those who had in the past neglected to
fortify themselves against the contin-
gency of high interest charges might
well be necessary.
1t was pointed out. however, that the
money stringency had already eased con-
siderably. and that in a few days the
maturity of various syndicate subscrip-
tions would abate the difficulty still
more. Beyond and above all this, the
declaration was made in high quarters
that the price of many stocks had now
fallen to level where purchases
would repay the patient and discrim-
. mating investor. and it was recalled that
the business of the country was as glor-
tous as ever. whatever the plight of the
stock gamblers who refused to listen
month ago to sound caution that the
merest tyro in finance might well have
urged.
