 Our foundation for this confidence is based on the present firm condition uni- versally prevalent: especially upon that feature of our realty market which has discarded. we might say discredited, ev- erything tending to excitement in the purchase or sale of investments. We have contended that other invest ments made on calm, deliberate judg-
