The stock market was reactionary to-
day.
This was neither surprising nor out of
place.
Under the most favorable conditions
we have never experienced a rising mar
ket without an occasional halt and re-
actions.
This time there was ample reason
for it.
In the first place the market had
undergone a change technically, which Is
always a sufficient excuse for the pro-
fessional element to oppose the advance.
The cut in price Of automobiles is in
line with the trend of all prices.
1t Is only a question of time when all
values must be placed on a sound and
sensible basis.
The wisely managed business, quick
to see what is coming, adapting itself TO
it, will be the most successful in the end.
Opposition merely means postponing
the Inevitable and in the meantime re-
suits in loss of business.
1t becomes important at this time to
know whether or not action taken by the
Ford company was the result Of an
understanding with the steel companies.
We can hardly conceive a situation
that would justify a deliberate breach
between two powerful interests, so that
it is just possible that In the very near
future we may expect announcements or
reduced prices Of steel products and then
we will be in a splendid condition for
resumption of great activity IN this
country for there never was time when
there was need for more construction
backed by a great purchasing power
I'VE look for an ultimately higher
market
