INVESTMENT VIEWS
AND THE OUTLOOK
Consensus Of Brokers' Opin-
ions Leans Toward Belief Of
Progressive Market.
HAD DRASTIC SHAKING. UP
Some Houses Continue to Urge
Caution and Advise Buy
ing Of Standards.

The consensus OF professional opinion
in Wall Street. as expressed in the week
end gossip, leans toward the belief that
the market will enter into another Pc
Rod OF progress after the drastic shaking
out It had in the latter part of last
week Many large FIRMS continue to
urge their customers to use caution In
the market. and several OF them recon-
mend shifts from the more speculative
issues to standard ones.
Knauth. Nachod & Kuhne say OF the
situation: THE markets continue to re-
feet the optimistic news coming from in
dustrial centres and the preparations be-
ing made by manufacturers for supply
ing European needs, much OF which We
alone are in a position to furnish. Re-
sumption of trade relations with Ger
many means a tremendous demand for
food, fats. petroleum products and many
other commodities of which the blockade
has deprived that country. The time is
drawing near when the demand for
credit for European buyers generally
will become an important factor in our
money situation, but this situation is one
hand and for which they are prepared.
A most favorable factor in both our
financial and political situation is evil
dence OF desire on the part of the Ad-
ministration to take the Mexican situa-
ton definitely in hand and to bring
order out of the choas existing there. We
The sun., 1919-07-21

believe Il will be only a short time before
a definite constructive plan in regard to
Mexico will be forthcoming.
Merrill. Lynch & Co. say: The stock
market this week has been so wild and
the rise in stocks so rapid that the con-
sentative element looked with approval
on the break Thursday afternoon. Warn
lngs have gone out from time to time
that the market was overbought and II
was advisable to take in sail. The cause
of the break came from inside rather
than outside sources. although the vio-
lent drop In sterling exchange has made
the banking interests show much con-
Germ. However. one good thing Is that
the break In exchange has not brought
forth any foreign selling, as the Euro
pean markets are practically dry OF
American securities. On the other hand
there has been a good deal Of buying OF
stocks from Holland and other European
centres"
Shonnard, Mills q Co. say: The re-
action in the stock market, after some
early liquidation, went Just about far
enough to uncover its real strength. and
in the rally which followed and prevailed
until the close of the session the regains
swere substantial enough to restore con-
fdence in the market as a whole and TO
give promise that It has resumed It's up
ward trend"
A. A. Housman & Co. give this opinion:
Public and official sentiment for an
increase In freight rates Is greatly i'm
proved. Industrial stocks seem to lack
impetus for fresh advances. and as a
class appear TO be resting. 1t would
seem to be good judgment to cash In
profits on the industrials, at least ir
part, and to take up the better class OF
rails"
James ". Ball & Co. say: Despite
the irregular movement of the securities
market in recent days, the trend is &c
| higher values. 1t is n pronouncedly spe-
cialized market. with sudden shifting;
from one group OF stocks to another
which makes for speculation on a ire
mendous scale. Present indications are
that the advance will continue fol
months to come. We are but entering
upon a second stage OF the greatest bull
market in history"
Anderson, Bruins 4 Co. say: THE
market looks tired. The steel outlook |;
improving and copper is expected to sci
at % cents a pound next month. These
and other factors We feel will be re
| fiected later on in the stock market, bu
until monetary conditions relax bit anc
