Big Professional Traders Believed to Be Winding
Up Campaign on Short Side-Bark
Statement Favorable.

important bankers are talking more hope
fully, but apparently doing nothing at all
in the market About the only positive
argument against a further decline is
the decline already accomplished.
This has shaken out all the speculative
holdings Of securities and has put prices
at a level which makes real investment
holders consider the advisability Of
emptying their strong boxes. The leading
bankers had trouble enough to get stocks
into the strong boxes, and 1t does not
seem reasonable that they should let
the market go far enough below this
level to empty those strong boxes. A
temporary rally, therefore, seems the
only logical thing.
1t is possible that the decline in prices
has fully discounted the disaster in con-
nection with the crops. One favorable
thing that has, perhaps, received less at
tention that it deserves Is the admirable
action Of the labor unions in refusing TO
strike on Invitation Of the railroad COM
panies.
A favorable bank statement is expected
tomorrow and announcement is made
that bank clearances are Is per cent
heavier this week than a year ago.
