NEW YORK, Oct 1.-THE New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Wall street in the present crisis,
like tn victim of malaria, has alter
nate good and bad days. Today's ses-
sion Of the stock market started out
well enough with moderate gains.
There followed a brief reaction and
then an upward movement Of eS-
tended proportions. This did not last
very long either. BY midday prac-
tically the whole list was under
pressure of / to 2 points. In the
first hour of the afternoon prices
ruled fraction to a point above the
low level of the day. Trading was
more restricted than yesterday and
as the forenoon drew to a close 1t
died down to a negligible quantity.
Thereafter the list merely drifted,
for the most part at lower levels
with now and then a listless hpturn.
On the surface of things 1t ap-
peared that while good Investment
buyfng and odd lot dealings con-
tinued, there was not the short COW
ering sufficient to give semblance
of animated initiative even when
prices were at the top.
