FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Waldorf gossip to Watson There is no change
in speculative opinion in influential quarters.
Stocks are considered purchase on all drives
took all the stocks offered and some one being
presumably the big interests. 1t was also
the. engagement OF 100000 for France, would
be depressing inauenc. The tact that the
market hardened in face of these developm ents
is considered significant and while prices may be
hammered down again there is increased con
fdence in growing activity and improving prices.
The favorable argument is that with the gov.
:ernment's gold holdings over $500. OoO, 900, and
larger than any other countrys and with the
sound money standard established, there is not
the same fear Of an outward gold movement now
as existed when the treasury shed less than $780,,
900, 600 and silver was at issue. s. .s.5
good news should onset gold exports and IN
satisfactory foreign trade. The market is suf-
:fering from lack of interest. 1t Is hard to tell
just what will change this but It seems i'm
probable that prices can remain in their present
nut. As liquidation is light stocks will do to
buy whenever attacked. 80 -, q
