A Chastened Bear.

A stock Exchange man who for years
has speculated in STOCKS on large scale
with great success announced last week
privately that he had given up trying
to make money on the bear side. The

cred after bitter experience was no
longer profitable. Prices could be forced
down without much difficulty. In fact
in a number OF cases the market had
been found to be rather thin one.

the news was good or had stocks failed
TO come out. Liquidation is essential
II the bear is to be successful and II
