One thing is certain, there are few if any bargains in the New York stock market, and shrewd investors who usually begin to look around at this season are not likely to pick up many stocks for their strong boxes at present prices, bonds and some of the new issues being more likely to receive the preference as affording safer and more profitable returns on their money, says Banker Clews. The difficulty of engineering a January rise, which often starts in December, will thus be greater than usual, and 1t may be that some time will elapse before another prolonged bull move ment can be successfully inaugural ed. Meanwhile, we should advise the taking of the profits on all good ral- lies for the market leaders in spite of lessened holdings still have stocks for sale and will no doubt keep up an appearance of strength, notwith- standing weakened technical condi- tions, This was shown in the effort to advance second class stocks as a cover for selling the high priced is- sues.
