The public is still out of the market.
no extension Of loans by brokers Is
possible and these two important fac

rather favorable turn given to the
discussions at various gatherings by
men of national Importance seems to
be creating a better feeling, gen.
orally speaking, but where traders are
scalping back and forth no great
changes are likely.
Credit Limitations a Factor.
Brokers have frequently expressed
the opinion that with the renewal OF
the credit limitations, SO that they
NAV increase their loans to traders,
there will be a sharp recovery in
prices, but from the frequent warnings
from the federal reserve board con-
corning preparedness for the needs OF
