quently in the long run brings a bir
supply of this unoccupied capital into the
legitimate investment markets.
For these reasons a good many con-
servative critics. even in these very ann
times in Wall Street. are, preparing for
constructive work in the next few
months. Indeed, some of the investment
dealers welcome the dullness in the stock
market on the ground that a dun stock
market Will not draw seriously upon the
resources of the people and divert in
vestors from true investment Such op-
timistic critics are of the opinion that
prices Of standard investment securities
of good grade are as low today as they
are likely to be. and that an upward ten
dency in the bond market and the high
grade investment stock market will be
the first signs of a real recovery in Wall
Street business when that recovery is
due.
