On the first call trading was light
with room traders selling, and some
Wall Street buying. while Liverpool
operated on both sides. There was no
fresh political news and the market
was well liquidated yesterday on the
fear of war.

Not Afraid of War.

Wall street was uneasy over the
outlook, which because of the German
chancelIor's attitude. representing the
attitude OF official Germany, spells
war. To be sure. the Street did not
exercise itself in the stock market or
make suggestions that a wild wavG
Of speculative buying was imminent,
but its real bullishness nevertheless
was reflected in its optimistic talk
and in its refusal to sell stocks to any
extent for itself and its unwilling
ness to ask the public to sell. In the
few instances in which pressure was
reported no response from holders OF
stocks was apparent. That public ele-
ment which holds stocks on margin
has its accounts well protected. while
public investors evidently are satisfied
to maintain a tight grip on their Sc
curities possessions. There is no rea-
son why any investor should sell.
while speculatoIs long OF the market
appear confident that because of the
strength OF the financial interests and
their known intention to lend the
weight OF their influence against de-
moralizatiOn in the market no great
slump In market values Is likely.
