Stocks.

New York stock letter.-We do not
look forward to any important price
movements and think for the present
the best policy to follow Is liquidation
on all strong spots, Some Of the spe-
cialties like G. NJ, C. and Pan. Ann,
Pet, as well as the leading coppers,
however. look good to us for accumu-
lation on a downward scale.
No one seems to have any very posi-
tive ideas as to the immediate course
Of the stock market. An effort may
be made today to window-dress the
market for the purpose of attracting
an outside following Monday morning.
Admittedly a great many people who
have disposed of their stocks will be
anxious to take them back If they can
be assured that the steel strike will
not eventuate and that ratification OF
the peace treaty will come about in
the near future, It is my impression
v~antageous for the time being.
Stock opinions: Ware & Leland-Fa-
vor purchases on the dips as we ex-
pect the market to do much better
later but would not follow the bulges.
Harris Wintbrop-Until the strikes are
settled market will continue a waiting
rate yesterday caused an irregular
close. Pynchion-Don't ignore selling
opportunities provided by sharp bulges
Logan-In view Of the current tenor Of
influences values will In all probability
display sagging tendency. Thompson

sentative purchases OF standard stocks

per ton mile by the motor truck.
The element of time is equally i'm

Road building in its relation to

Federal Government as of immedi-

means of providing work for return

will take contractors of the moth

busiest of the busy; it will give road
supervisors something to talk about
besides making excuses for bad
