There was no special change one way
or the other in the condition of the local
market. As q matter of fact, there was
nearly complete suspension of anlma =

preached nearer state of absolute
stagnation than at any time over a
period of three months. Despite the re-
stricted dealings the general list re-
tained tone of decided strength and
most all price changes.
In view of the multiplying uncer-
tainties which have been steadily creep
ing into the general market situation
since the turn of the year, the increas
ing reluctance exhibited in extending, or
making new market commitments. is not
surprising. The relative steadiness OF
prices at or near the current level, on
the other hand, demonstrates clearly the
thoroughly liquidated state of the mar
ket and the complete elimination of the
weak speculative superstructure.
No one can deny the attractive invest
ment basis at which most of the sea
soned local stocks are selling. Still. with
the market horizon so seriously befogged
by the puzzling and confusing develop
ments attending fundamental conditions,
many logically hesitate in extending
their investment holdings, mainly be-
cause of the belief in the possibility OF
getting them still cheaper. Cautious
ness and discrimination would possibly
be fairer description than to designate
it as timidity. The security markets
