Markets Character.

IT is the contention of many shrewd
market observers that the real test of
the market will come during this week
and next, and that if this period is
sledded across without serious damage.
security prices should work toward
higher levels. It is the contention of
this element. which, OF course. are
aligned on the long side of stocks, that
advances of another day or so, like
those of yesterday, in the face of tight
money will rapidly bring the shorts to
a mood in which they will be glad to
cover stocks. Then. and only then, 40
cording to this contention. can the mar
ket be accurately gagged If the buying
which has put this market up Is short
covering. prices undoubtedly will slump
back when this back stop has been re-
moved. II, on the other hand, stocks
have passed into strong and conserva-
two hands during the recent slump,
as many observers believe. then the up
ward trend, which appears to have been
established, may be expected to con-
tinue.
