 It is by no means certain that the sea son of activity will continue for any length of time, although present indica- ticns point to fair speculation for quite a while ahead. The burden of commits sion house advice that Is now going out to clients is to be prepared for break in prices in order to accumulate stock. It Is not regarded as quite the thing to openly advise short sales, but by this indirect method the hint is given that transactions on that side give the best promise of profit.

 Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are not popular in the financial district and anything which happens to take them down a peg is looked upon as a good joke and as an excuse for hilarity. It was reported at first that Morgan & Co. and the City National bank had assumed the job of fiscal agents for the Missouri Pacific, but this turned out to be mistake. The Speyers and the Deutsche bank have as- sumed that responsibility and will raft the property into safe harbor.
 The terms upon which MT. Rockefeller and the Goulds are reconciled are not yet known MT. Rockefeller has been very patient with the unsatisfactory Gould management and has probably yielded to representations of improve ment, giving a reasonable time in which to make good. To that extent he sides with the Gould-Speyer combination which can also look for at least the moral SUD- port of other financial combinations will ing to contribute to anybody who gets the best of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. It is not nice spirit, perhaps. but 1t is human nature.
