Professional Sentiment.

The feature Of the market yesterday,
according 10 shrewd observers. was the
great amount of professional profit taxi
Ing. The professional m semi-profes-
sional spectators sold out on the rise
In the expectation Of a revera Of form.
A new outside bull interest took the
stock. There II 10 reason to suppose
that the professional element has dag
noecd the situation correctly. On the
present upward movement the outsider
has beaten the professional continually.
partly perhaps because Of his lack of
imagination or knowledge Of the game.
But, after all, the professional s~pecula-
tor is usually a mail trader. HIS pur-
pose IL to catch the small swings In
the market. and his range OF vision
rarely extends beyond tho next few
days. He car take his profits and still
believe that prices are going higher.

Can,s Move.

American Can common was one of the
few active shares to register q net de-
cline for the day. Ono OF the explana-
lions heard for tho big advance on
Thursday was that the Government suit
patches yesterday denied natly that any
compromise of the case was oontem-
plated. Testimony has just been COM
pleted and the suit will be filed in the
Federal cour In Baltimore on October
6. But II 10 doubtful II the matter OF
the suit played any real part In the
latest movement in Can. Tho stock had
its advance on Thursday and the
market was due for some kind OF a d.
costing process. II Is rather notable
that tho sales yesterday were only a
little more than half what they were on
Thursday.
