may keep the market irregular during the
next few days. but We are inclined to look
for some Improvement next week. The ex-
tent to which the short interest has grown
shoulds mot be overlooked.
Marshall. Spader & Co.: The generally
accepted theory that the present state or
depression Is due to the growing socialistic
tendencies Of the masses. is encouraged
by the prosecution and persecution of cor
porate interests by municipal, state and
federal authorities.
Chandler Bros. & Co.: We do not believe
any great declines can be brought about
from the present low levels and think on
the sharp breaks stocks should be bought.
The declines in wheat and cotton show
that crops are growing satisfactorily.
Alfred Mestre & Co.: Aside from the con-
gestion in the securities market and the
renewed impairment of confidence which
has been occasioned by recent develop
ments. monetary conditions are sufficiently
tense to preclude the probability of any
successful upward movement in the stock
market being engineered right away.
