Profit Taking Conducted With Caution

 manifest growth of general participa- tion on the transactions in stocks to- day, commission houses reporting in creased orders from scattered out side clientage. The market broaden ed perceptibly and embraced an in- creasing number of securities not often traded in. The long period of dorman- cy of some of these while an upward movement had been going on in the general market makes them susceptible to a spasmodic readiustment to the new order of values which offers con- trasts in the prices made with those prevailing when dealings last occurred

At the same time active profit taking was go- ing on in the favorite trading stocks and the price movement had very irregular appearance in consequence. This was one symptom of the lessened Iartlficiality of the market. Movements lacked the machinelike precision char
