TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
LIFTING Freight Embargoes.

Following tho check over on the gen.
eral situation as result OF the first
weeks movement of anthracite coal the
Eastern carriers report themselves in
better condition than had been antici-
pated. The lifting of the Erie's embargo
against fruit was regarded as a con-
structive development. although this
road will be forced to seek aid from
other lines In the handling OF freight
which will be accepted. For the most
part the coal carrying lines showed up
well in the face of the additional bur-
dens placed on them through the re-
sumption of anthracite coal operations.
Operating officials in retrospect de-
clared yesterday that the embargo
movement was adopted In anticipation
of tight conditions. but an unexpectedly
satisfactory situation has developed dur
ing the first week. Further improve
ment Is regarded as certain once the
roads swing into their stride and OBJ
tain the best possible distribution of
equipment.

Market Comment.

I'VE have been optimistic on the
security market and believe with the
immense amount of money seeking in
vestment that all stocks of the better
class will ultimately sell at much
higher level."--Hirsch, Lilienthal e. Co.
while thetrend of the security markets
Is undoubtedly toward higher averages,
careful discrimination should be used in
making new commitments at these lew
els."-Carreau & Snedeker. 'tThe re-
action strengthens the technical position
of the market and should be utilized to
buy stocks. Very sharp movements up
ward are looked for before elimination
of the bull market."--W. II. Hutton 4
Co. I'VE think the safe course suggests
taking at least a part OF ones profits in
the very near future. This applies to
nearly all classes of Good
body & Co. Small occasional set
backs furnish the desired point of con-
tact, and we do not hesitate In urg-
ing a strong position on the long side OF
all the sound rails. Merrill, Lynch &
Co. THE best judgment we can form OF
the market future from careful survey
of the weeks developments Is that II
has arrived at the point where buying
for speculative operations should be dis
criminative. not general and based on
careful Interpretation OF facts and ig-
ures OF corporations not upon what any
trader may hear In a tour through the
