Keeping the Lid On

AS was pointed out yesterday, in
creased rates themselves might be
only a temporary influence on the mar
ket, but the continuing fact of the
progressive curtailment of credit for
speculation is both long range and
an immediate factor of far-reaching
Importance. If this situation continues,
as is not improbable, it may we'll be
that more interest will be taken in
pure investment securities. In time
foreign securities might become more
attractive to American investors.

First official acknowledgement of oil
development operations on Northern

poses. the railroad retaining the usual
