WALL STREET MARKET
IS IN A WAITING MOOD

NEW YORK, September 26.-Money
was again Il factor on Wall street. the
6 per cent rate being against increased
speculation. In Il way this rate serves
notice on the street that the banking
element is against any spread-ea Cling
at time when so much money is being
diverted to war purposes and on the
eve of the movement of one of the
heaviest of crops.
There are many people interested in
the market who cannot forget their
bearish tendencies and they will keep
hammering away, but the general opin-
ion is tHaI they will not meet with the
success of the last three or four months
when all was needed was to sell stocks
and sell them again next day. That
time is over according to best views
ON the street. and no rampant bear
market is likely. with even like assur-
ance against Il strong bull market.
Many of the bears changed to bulls
after price-fNing. This contingent re-
garded the fact that the maintenance
