scrfbed as steady this morning On our
siGe the outlook is for continued
strength in the specialties, while realiZ-
ing goes on IN the induStrials and other
stocks that shared in the recent ad-
vance. The unanimous opinion is that
the market has taken lot OF specula-
tive realizing III a very satisfactory
manner. The news on the fractions is
confined TO Ia lot of rumors. none Of
which can be definitely confirmed. but
which have as their basis a cOmbina-
tion OF all the local systems into one
parent company. The logic of the sit
uation points to the conclusion that
this will eventually take place. Had ii
not been for the Chicago disturbance
have ruled easier at this center. There
can be no doubt that the normal move
ment OF currency is now In favor of
New York and that barring some
slight interruption about January !.
this return flow of currency Will con-
tinue for some time TO come. Every
thing considered. the market behaves
very well indeed and while we expect
some irregularities for the next few
weeks we see no substantial reason
why there should not be further ad-
vances some time in January.
