Market Opinions.

Almost unanimous in their expression
OF bullish sentiments are market let
tiers sent out last week by stock e0-
change houses. Some OF the optimistic
predictions are qualified to a certain ex-
tent, but the undertone of nearly all of
the communications is one of brightness.
Goodbody & Co. say: ION the whole we
look for a slowly rising market with
rather wild speculation In special

Movements Irregular.

Tho aspect of irregularity which was
given the stock market yesterday by the
aimless movements of many of the lead
ing issues was one which was ac-
counted for by keen market observers
through the fact that many evening-up
transactions were being recorded be-
fore the Sunday recess. Wall Street was
generally bullish, II the sentiment In
many of the leading commission houses
could be taken as an indication. There
was, however. no surprise expressed
that some OF the market leaders should
react slightly from their Friday levels,
for, 1t was pointed out the market has
had a steady rise now for ten days or
more. with scarcely any reaction worthy
OF the name The process Of squeezing
the shorts in some of the more specu-
lative issues was continued without
abatement. despite the fact that the
opinion in many quarters is that a great
proportion of the shorts in those spe-
cialties already have been driven In.
