There was this interesting and
significant fact to be noted in con-
nection with the days Developments
on the Stock Exchange-for the first
time this year bargain hunters ap-
peared in Wall Street. They bought
many issues, standard railroad stocks
and bonds and industrials of widely
varying character. Their appear
ance on the scene was accepted IN
the financial district as a sort Of
vote of confidence in values, the kind
Of confidence which is prepared to
ignore quotations made under the
pressure Of abnormal liquidation.
That is not to say that Wall Street
believes the bottom of the market
has been reached, but merely that
regardless of the future course of
the stock market, it believes prices in
many cases are already out of line
with intrinsic worth.
