and on income tax matters furnished
small comfort for holders of stocks. and
gave courage for renewal of bear tao

any discouraging signs.
Price regulation was equally effec.

and undeniable fact.
Immediately on the opening of the

before the end of the first ten minutes
the whole list was on the down grade
