The action OF the market this week
will do much to decide the question
as to how firm the foundation is on
which prices rest. FOR It is reason
able certainty that more unfavorab'e
news Is coming out.
II is Understood that prices Of fin
lshed steel products will shortly be re-
duced. Announcement to this effect
may be made this week. Present ex-
pectations are that the average price
cut will amount 10 at least SO per ton,
and may amount TO as much as 81 pa
ton. These pending cuts Is one Of the
reasons why steel stocks have been
comparative laggards in the upswing
the market has had.
1t is by no means settled fact that
the worst phases OF the copper situa-
tlon have been fully discounted. Ger
tain responsible copper authorities
doubt the ability OF the big producers

News and Gossip of To-Day's
Market-PreSent and Fu-
ture Prices.

II Is quite evident that many people
Of substantial financial means are
closely following an old rule OF stock
speculation to the effect that one 20
be successful must buy stocks when
news is bad and sell them when news
is good. News is undenlably bad. Yet
there Is strong buying OF stocks. A
large part Of this can he traced TO the
professional element who have been
working on the down sid" of the
market. They have found their POSI-
tiun uncomfortable and have been
forced 10 cover their commitments
In part. Aside from this buying there
has been substantial accumulation
going on by people who believe that
before many days pass the character
OF the business and financial news will
be much better. They believe that the
recent upswing In PRICES Is in the
nature Of u discounting movement
that the market Is now rejecting the
change IN conditions which will not
I've actually experienced by the busi-
ness world until four or five months
hence.
ON the other hand there is an i'm
portant element ut the financial com
munity. including bankers of wide cx-
pericncc. who are discouragIng their
friends from making extensive pur-
apprcciably clearer. To them financial
and business lights still show rcd.
They maintain that the advance the
market recently has shown is due al
most wholly to technical conditions,
to a temporary scarcity Of stocks and
the fact that the short interest had
become OF too large proportions.
