A RALLY COMING.

where there is much smoke there Is
usually some hre.
The reports OF insiders controlling
the position of certain Issues has be-
come SO persistent that II would not
be surprising should good rally de-

Trading is OF such character now
that Il would take only sharp adj
vance In a few issues to bring about
a rally in the general list.
One of the main troubles In Wall
street Is that. while everyone wants
TO be optimistic, everybody wants the
other fellow TO act.
AS a result, trading of late has
been very listless.
Then. again. the bankers and the
big fellows have been concentrating
their attention on other matters.
There have been several constructive
happenings not discounted by the

WHO Is TO BLAMEs

AS Is usually the case when 81
curity prices are at or near their low
levels, the majority Of traders are in
the doldrums and see no hope ahead.
They are loud in their condemns
who are said to be pounding the
market.
Without doubt the continual ham
mering at security prices, as certain
traders are charged with doing, 10
some tfmes carried too far.
As one broker states: 1T 10 juet
like kick ing around a siok child when
TO one is about to protect her."
However, some blame may be laid
TO the insiders who refuse to protect
their securities. For instance. how
long could any one group of men con-
tInue to pound Mexican Petroleum.
American Sumatra, Corn Products or
any one of the numerous stocks re-
Gently subjected to pressure X the
insiders had sufficient faith In their
companies to come to the support Of
the stocks7
There would be no necessity for a
repetition OF the Ryan" episode, as
the slightest sign of support from the
insiders would make the bears scurry
TO cover. As IL Is, those now selling
stocks can operate successfully from
day to day without leaving them
selves over extended in the slightest.
There is little or no support. a fact
which is accountable for the difficulty
experienced in placing the 800. 0o0, 900
French loan.
Some say the bankers are occupied
otherwise. while others maintain the
insiders are waiting for the short In
terest to become more bulky.
Or may IL be that those desiring to
do so have not sufficient funds to
support their stocks7
