meantime her suffering is being some

terially. Entering the noon hour there
was but little doing, and prices had re-
ceded somewhat from the high point of
the morning.
The fact that the loan crowd found an
active demand for many Of the leading
securities at a fair premium was an evil
dence OF the OversoId condition of the

is also expected to help along the move

Close observers OF conditions DO not
lCok for anything more than a purely

other, and they are equally certain that
any prolonged upward movement at
TINS time IS not probable.

many IN the ease with which the bears
