The bank statement was much better
on yesterday Il la n had been anticipated,
and, consequently, stocks closed strong
and slightly above the opening prices:
Anal gamated% Copper was the only stock
to show any marked advances, cl osing 2
points aboves3th opening.
Local brokers say that the market Is
now in far healt HER condltio lon than
before the late depression, and that they
see no reason why securities tsnould rot
advance materially.
There IS no reason why,sunder the new
order of things lpanclals,n New York,
the weekly bank statement should have
any effect upon the market. The figures,
published just before the close OH Saturr
day, used to play an important part IN
the history of Wall Street for those fig
ures told the financial state Q ~ New
York's money lending institutions. Now,
on account of the trust companies, the
bank statement is no index to money afr
fairs.
The people, however, are slow to change
and still place all manner Of faith in n
good bank statement. although wall
Street men no longer pay any atten-
ton to those one time fatal figures.
