Many people in Wall Street are pessi-
mistically inclined, owing to the nat
ural reaction that IS now under way in
the business world, and they predict
lower prices for securities, forgetting.
however, that quotations are already at
low level, and in the great number
Of cases well below the actual value
OF investments Efforts to bring about
cheaper prices are not meeting with
much success at present, and there is
no good reason why anyone should
part with securities at the current
range of quotations At their prevailing
prices stocks have discounted business
reaction, and sooner or later this fact
VIII be realized in the Street 1t Is
not an easy matter to buy good stocks
at these figures, because the floating
supply IS not large, the greater num-
ber of securities being in the hands Of
people VINO Will not sell at prices which
do not represent intrinsic worth. There
IS nothing strange about the present
dizziness In the countrys industrial aC-
Invites. Trade IS always light in
Presidential year, but this year under
lying conditions are probably stronger
than they ever have been before in
season OF national political activity.
