Bright Side of n Bear Market.

Wall Street is wont to look on pro-
tracted bear market as an unmitigated
calamity. and from the standpoint of
everybody but a bucketeer probably
is one. It restricts business. It raises
overhead costs. II drives active specu-
lative accounts into safe investment
fields. 1t does a thousand and one
things that work against general ac-
tlvity In the Street But there Is a
bright side to the situation which Is
never realized until the market turns
upward and moves. such as those that
have been in progress in the last few
weeks. begin. That side is the steady
absorption of good stocks by small in
vestors and the gradual withdra wal Of
those stocks from the Street In the
case of Steel common stock. for in
stance, the number of Individual stock
holders increased tremendously during
the period OF the 1920 and 1921 bear
market. Spectators and investors put
their available funds 10 absorbing good
stocks and paid no attention to fuctua-
tions. The results Of that steady ab-
sorption are not made apparent until
more active speculative buying starts.
Taking the same case. that OF steel
common stock. IT has moved upward
recently as much as a full point on
transactions of very few hundred
shares-transactions which In the DAYS
before so much stock had been re-
moved from the Street probably would
have failed 20 advance the issue much
more than an eighth.

Canadian Pacific Gains.

TIL six point advance OF Canadian
Pacific to a high mark of 139ls was a
feature of yesterdays market. Its last
sale was at 1863. net gain Of 8ii
points for the day. At that figure
Canadian Pacific was 3h points above
the closing price Of Union Pacific
which also recorded a net advance ol
~ points. The strength Of the former
was attributed not alone TO the com
pany's sustained earnings. Its strong
credit position and the trend Of politi-
cal events in the Dominion but also tC
marked improvement in the exchange
position of the Canadian dollar. It is
probable that the latter consideration

A remarkable advance in the reserve
ratio Of the local Reserve Bank from
