BY G W. BABsON

WELLESLEY HILLS, Nov. 25.-
Many traders have decided hat the
stock market has turned definitely
downward and have sold theic hold
ings. Others are hanging on and
hoping. The following statement
made today by Roger w. Babson
would indicate that fundamental
conditions substantiate the beliefs of
those who are still optimistic.
There is a feeling in many quar-
ters that the rise in the market is
over" says Mr.. Babson. land that
1t Is headed for a long panic. I
am being asked on every hand for
my opinion and I want to go on rec
ord as taking the opposite position.
The long swing upward movement
which started in August, 1921, is NOT
yet over. / am not concerned with
the minor movements Of the market.
I don't know anything about them
and no one else does. The market
may have further declines before it
goes higher. Statistics show, how
ever, the market is due TO SO 20
higher levels in 1928 or 1894 before
it starts on another long downward
swing such as we had in 1920,
II admit that when n looks al
surface conditions today. there are
many things that tend TO conllrm
the current bearish sentiment. The
principal bear argument that is be-
ing used, is the European situation.
1t is difficult for most people to
see how conditions in the United
States can improve much without an
increase in our foreign trade. In
the European situation and in the
Tariff Act they see little encourage
ment in this direction. Other bear
ish arguments being put forward
are: the high commodity price level
that still exists, the failure Of wages
to come down. the increasing ten
dency of costs, the small margin of
profit in many lines, the poor out
look for certain industries, and po-
litical conditions.

lowing surface conditions? 1 never
heard that they did. Did surface
conditions look rosy back in Dec
ember, 1920 and during 1921 when
the market was at its lowest levels ?
They certainly did not. There were
just as many calamity howlers then
over the European situation and do
mestic developments as there r to-
day. In the face of all these things,
the market has had a rise of owe
so per cent in the past fifteen
months. 1t may be argued that the
market had no license to go up to
this extent and that because 1t has
gone up SO much it is in a danger
GUS position. The stock market,
however, never could have had any
tions had not been sound. This
position on the market Is based on
underlying conditions and not on
surface conditions. The same fun
damental statistics that told me to
be bullish on stocks in 1921 indf-
Gates that the long swing movement
is not yet over.
"Of course I don't mea to say
that all classes of stocks are neces-
sarily going higher, or that the mar
ket will turn higher right away.
There are certain groups that may
have already seen their top. Judg-
ing from the statistical position OF
the industry of commodity which
they represent, I should not be sur
prised If these did not do SO much
on the balance of the present move
ment, or If they eevn sagged. Be-
cause of the very uneven readjuse-
ment that We have been thru, the
various groups of stocks are not all
in the same position. This is no
time to buy stocks with ones eyer

for profit, however, for the man who
will use discrimination"
