extent to which investment buyers are
taking advantage of the declines in the

much relief in the money market. Bank
erS are facilitating the movement as much
as possible, and from morning until night
stock exchange messengers stand in line
at the transfer offices with certificates to
be split into odd lots and divided among
many small buyers.
