CWatson, Alpers & Co.)
 The fundamental conditions of large investment funds. of brilliant agricul- tural prospects. of past thorough liquidation and of the normal tend encies of this Nation toward expan- sion and development are opposed to expectation of any serious setback.

We therefore feel that after the correction of such technical defects as may exist the outlook is for a renewal of ad- vancing prices.
