HEARD ON CHANGE

There is a better feeling. as the phrase
goes when the stock market situation is re-
ferred ito. which means that the public is
showing a little more confidence in the fu-
ture of securities than was the case several
days ago. This fact condition is princi-
pally brought out by what is said in current
talk rather than in actual transactions. The
buying, speaking generally has not yet be-
gum and that may be due to several rea-
sons. but when the first is mentioned 1t will
no doubt be concluded there is need of
taking the time to speak of the others.
The fact is. it is difficult. If not impossl-
Bile. to obtain loans. The usual lenders Of
money-that is to say the financial institu-
tfons-very frankly explain to would be Dor
rowers that they have no funds to loan
They say their cash reserves are not much
aboev the legal requirement and as likely as
not below that level. This has been brought
ABOUT, in part. at least, by accessions to
the ranks of borrowers Of many of those
who have not been in the habit of getting
loans.
ing to some degree of the restrictions on
loans on real estate. and money Is obtain
able. but. of course. to such degree that
1t would not be noticed if it were occurring
at any other time. There is a well-defined
belief that the bottom has been reached at
least in the stock market. and the only
question In doubt is to the extent Of the ex-
pected recession in business.
1t Is the opinion of clear-headed men that
the conservative management of the situa-
ton up to the present time practically in
Sures exemption from a panic that condi-
ton Is usually understood. In other words
the business world in all it's departments
has taken time by the forelock and has pre-
pared itself for falling off in business and
a t1ghtness in the money market. state
of preparedness is a good thing whether
from the standpoint of nation or of an in
dlVldual. and In that event the business in
terests Of the country are not likely now to
be overtaken by the unexpected
While the above may apply to the general
market. vet it Is also true of the local mar
ket. for the reason the world Of business is
so connected that what affects one portion
OF. the country is also a factor In other sec
tons.
AS to the developments in the local stock
market. there has been nothing that was
not indicated or expressed during the course
OF last week. The only exception was the
positive announcement that the directors of
the Washington Gas Company had officially
decided to go to court and make a request
Tor an increase in the capital stock of the
company. following the precedent estab-
pany.
Colncident with that announcement, an
upward movement in the stock market took
place, which reached it's highest point at
19a. Exactly what the stock will be worth
when the increase Is made, or even what Ii
VIII be approximately worth. Is, Of course
not known. as no official statement has
been made of the amount Of the proposed
Increase or the ability of the company to
pay dividend on the enlarged stock.
