No Margin Buying.

There are scores OF buyers around
brokers' offices who would only be too
glad to take on thousands Of shares at
the usual margin, but who viii not take
out the few shares that they can pay
for, while brokers viii not encourage
margin trading, because they find 1t so
difficult TO raise the necessary coin.
There are stocks like the Pennsylvania,
New York Central, Erie. Rock Island,
Baltimore and Ohio, and Chesapeake and
Ohio. as well as scores Of others, that
are bargains such as the Street has
never been offered before.
Every possible contingency has been
discounted. Prices may go lower, but
it has reached the time and the point
when the big men Of New York, the
people with money and without stocks,
can turn the tide at their pleasure.

the stock market Is becoming danger

days, weeks, or months, or as long as
the bulls remain quiet, the bears VIII
make an effort to square up accounts IN
the last hour OF the day, with the con-
sequent result OF low opening and higher
closing.
