A Market Opinion

A change of tone in the market let
ters of Stock Exchange houses was
noted at the end of the week. Even
those who still maintain that we are
in bear market predict that prices
may work higher for the time being.
An example is cited in the case of
Wrenn Brothers, who say: while it is
always dangerous to expect rallies in
bear market, stock prices are begin
nlng to look stronger. There is some
Improvement in the monetary situa
ton, at least for the time being, and
the aggregate amount of business
which the banks ordinarily have to
handle pretty steadily diminishes from
April until late summer. Yet one
should not look now for anything
more than temporary upward move
ment: The change in the situation is
largely superficial; the price of new
capital is as high as ever; the bank
loan imitation has not been remedied,
and the readiustmcnt of commodity
prices to peace basis has barely
made beginning. Some of the old
seasoned stocks of demonstrated value
ought perhaps to be purchase for a
turn, but in the event of any sharp
rally amounting to third or half Of
TIE recent break one would nave to re-
consider the position of the market"
