cialties was demonstrated by the firmness
OF representative stocks. including dividend

With the economic structure. through the

foundation than ever before, confidence Is
unimpaired by the international contin-

tending commitment further ahead. This Is
wholesome tendency and the readjustment
OF prices now In progress In some
lines, will also prove beneficial In its ulti-
