Evening POST
NEW YORK, Feb. Although
Europe bought fairly large amounts
in today's Now York market, prices
again moved irregnlarly with a ten
dency to further downward reaction.
Net changes for the day, however,
varied widely, and there were both
advances and declines.
In stocks there was considerable
decrease In s,5iyity from the recent
trading. Bonds, on the contrary, dis
played increasing strength and actip-
ity. All things considered the gem
eral market OF the day was norman
and wholesome There was a distinct
~ eastor tendency in the market for
time money and commercial paper
suggesting that the capital which is
not now being employed in putting
up the price OF stocks is flowing free
ly ana OH mere favorable terms, into
general BUSINESS.

Belief in the prophetic power Of

Men formerly thought dreams fore

more sophisticated we regarded dream
