FINANCIAL NEWS

Lewis II. Tappsn q Co. In their weekly
stock letter say:
Except for the trader who has been
nimble enough and contented TO take
small profits. say OF from two to three
points. the market has presented but very
little attraction for some weeks. In the
meantime. the volume OF trading and Ill
terest in Wall street has been working
TO a lower ebb.
In relation 10 the money situation, Il
can be said that never at this season OF
the year were banks better prepared u

harvesting the crops. Where In years
past no especial provision was made Till

year, and banks have provided, to a par.

mands. AS a matter of fac.. tho west

sistent eller. Wall street too. appears 10
be making a start toward resisting the
tide OF liquidation. supporting orders from
the other side recently being on a more
generous scale than for weeks past.
Whether prices have finally grounded IL
Is impossible 10 say. but unless We very
much misread the situation they are get
ting near the bottom.
The policy for the speculator willing TO
face the risk always surrounding the
market would therefore appear to be,
buy on fiat days rather than sell on good
ones" while the genuine holder OF stocks
might adopt the maxim just "sit tight"
There can be but very little doubt 70
any one who Is at all acquainted with

not work very much higher right away.
they are very unlikely to work any lower
