Some irregularity is probable in the
next few days, but further improve
ment seems Hkely.-Brown.
Assurances that the New York hank
ing situation is sound did much to-
ward improving sentiment and the
good bank statement of Saturday in
dicates that the monetary situation is
likely to improve.-Logan & Bryan.
A recovery in the market is quite
logical. If there is no further bad
news 1t may go on for the extensive
short interest may provide considerable
buying power. We doubt, however,
that recoveries viii prove permanent
Dick
From what 1 hear the purchase of
bonds the past ten days has been of
the very best This is encouraging
for stocks. l expect to see the market
rally to points. 1t depends on de
velopments. 1t may be that certain
trust companies will be investigated
along similar lines to the mercantile
bank, in that event the market will
probably break again to near the pre-
Vious bottom. 1t is next to impossible
to predict immediate movements in the
uncertain market. but if prices re
act moderately I should be inclined to
buy stocks. The tendency is likely to
be upward for several days-Ridge.
AS the situation stands this morn
ing we should say that developments
must be awaited rather than antici-
pated in market operations. 1t is
nearly sure that support will be given
and we consider the market in good
technical condition as a result of low
prices and liquidation. and the trend
OF values Will depend entirely on SEN
timent growing out Of overnight de-
velopments. -Marshans. Spader & Co.
