Lewis III. Tappan and company in their
weekly stock letter say: We do not at
tempt in these advices TO forecast the
future fluctuations OF the market. but
instead. bring to your notice the fact that
we think going prices for good stocks are
extremely low.
We do strictly commission business.

of the several exchanges for execution.
For the past week the stock market has
distinguished itself by its inactivity and

After the violent swings, and generally
