him even more manly and dignified.

an impressive demonstration of con

takers of stocks. Some part of the
buying was attributed to the short
interest overtaken by the continued
recovery in prices from the weakness

persistence of the demand for the
principal leading stocks was taken tc

was noticeable disposition to couple
this expectation with that of increas-

in the outside market kept alive the
predictions that the supreme couit
