with such a limited supply Of contracts,
such action might result disastrously to

The New York market as a result OF
the widening Of the differences between

Continental Cen.

The market for Continental Can has
been a great disappointment to a num-
Der of spectators. who bought stock on
the strength of a rumor that has been
quietly circulated around the Street for
some time. The story is as follows:
The big market in Continental Can was
made by or through a certain brokerage
Arm. When the stock got above 100 a
great deal of stock vas sold by the In
siders with the intention Of buying II
back lower down. The price broke badly.
but when the original sellers came to
buy 1t back they found that they couldn't
get It without bidding for 1t. Making
Inquiries they learned that the stock
they had sold had been taken by a we'll
known banking house. Finally a bid
was made to this banking house Of par
for 5000 shares. The market price was
then SO. The banking house informed
them that they were at liberty to buy all
they wanted in the open market. but
their stock WAS not for sale. Some
people who firUt heard this story and
satisfied themselves that there might
be somthing In 1t bought the stock with
the expectation of seeing fireworks. So
far nothing has happened and a good

bull argument on Ontario Silver appears
to be that the stock has "a par value Of
