The stock market as whole was on
an even keel today, indidations of
strength at one hand being invariably
offset by weakness at some other
point. While it was still a sellers
market there seemed less eagerness
to part with stocks than on the earlier
days of the week; and, as a rule, only
small blocks of stock were to be had
at prevailing figures. There is a feel
ing on the streets this afternoon that
the bottom has about been reached,
and that there will be a healthy re-
action in trading stocks in the next
few days. On the surface, however,
boom quotations in the near future

tangivble and inconsiderable factor for
