position OF the market has rendered Il
immune from tho probability OF re-

At the same time, when so many warn

some OF the more optimistic phases and
features OF the stock market movement.
Although the great activity In stocks
has been reflected in a very slightly
harder tone in the money market it Is
not apparent that this is anything more
than "a sympathetic response. 1t l. the
common story OF bankers that they have
not been able to put out much more
money on collateral securities than be-
fore the expansion OF dealings on the
Stock Exchange This implies among
other things that very material

OF the technical strength OF tho share

Furthermore, the increase OF quoted
values enhances the absorptive capacity
of tho stock market community with
out compelling recourse to money lend
ers for accommodation. II Is altogether
likely that bank loans will expand more

the stock market and the money ma rset
