new YORK STOCKS
AGAIN SLOW DOWN
Keen Disappointment a
Lack of Investment
Buying.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-12:30 p. m
There is no question but what the mar
ket this morning Nas Disappointing, aad
that Is will remain 50 most Of the day.
The fine rally and The generally better
tone led 10 the belief that the market
was practically certain Of scoring a
good advance and continuing active to
day and perhaps for the rest or the
week. Brokers and commission houses
looked Tor q splendid business on ac-
count II investors this morning, and
were ,,adly disappointed IN the paucity
OF orders.
Tie bear element soon noticed the lack
OF buying orders and changed their pO-
sition again Those who had been most
urgent in their covering on Saturday
were most active in putting out line Of
shorts again today.
There was this comfort, that the mar
ket on the declines became very dun
and there was not much pressure TO
EQuidate actual stock Actual uqulua-
ton VIII wait for the market upon
which IL may be thrown and hquldateo
witaout much sacrifice Of values.
That there is u large amount OF stock
awaiting just suCn market IN unques-
tiOnably true, and this is one OF the
reasons why advances are so sJlnGy anu
declines so EEdu4LN c. IA DlASlirG
And all the time the financial situation
IS improving, and banks are getting
ready for the day when CURRENCY pay
lnenJs can be resumed. But the New
York banks are still hard pressed with
the legal reserve still 3l.UtD,UJ snort
and perhaps half as many millions rep
resented IN clearing house certificates,
so that while the worst is over and i'm
55roveusnt is steady-there Is a long
lane between this and the full light OF
the MONDAY sun of Easy street.
In the meantime stocks viii be more
or less irregular, advancing with in
veslment buying, advancing when the
large army OF shorts grows nervous. and
declining when there is stock TO be liqui-
dated and when the bears dare TO IN
crease their lines.
IN such a market spectators are
likely 10 be badly whipped. IL is the
opportunity FOR investors who are pre-
pared to buy stocks and take them out
of the market.
