conservative financial writer's who are
tavoring the bear side admit that only the
most dire circumstances can ultimately et-
feet the upward trend of the market. Bear
writer's have very little ground TO stand
on fear Of tight money, and the, high
level which stocks have now reached are
practically their only arguments.
One financial writer Of international
pesslmism by declaring that the time for
reaction has come because the American
people may not be trusted to continue TO
elect presidents who stand for conserva-
tive financial methods. This writer holds
that the great number Of immigrants pour
ing into our country will largely influ-
ence elections, which will result in placing
presidents with no adequate sense OF con-
sentative financial principles in the chair.
Any reasonable reader can, OF course
see at glance that conclusions OF this
character are very far fetched; and when
financial writer Of evident ability alludes
to possibilities Of this character in order
to Justify his bear sentiments on the mar
ket, It becomes very evident that bear
material Is very scarce.
