WIRE DOWN..

Quite a little excitement was caused
on Saturday afternoon on the 2.15
trip of the Suburban trolley line, when
the car going toward Somers Point
broke a cup off the wires in front of
the home of William York, South
Main street. Traffic was tied up for
sometime until repairs could be made.
A live wire lying in the street gave
people in autos considerable trouble,
causing them to make a detour. For
tunately, no one was injured.
For the news accurately stated, sub
scribe for he Pleasantville Press.

Fosce OF Q Mystery

There is nothing in the way Of mar.
ket influences that will produce faster
climbing quotations than a mystery"
It Is much easier to obtain a big fol.
lowing with an air Of mystery than It
Is with concrete facts Of actual condi.
tions.
No better illustration could be given
than in the recent remarkable perform.
ance Of the American Stores shares In
the local market. For many months
these shares were pushed up steadily
until the announcement Of the conver.
sion plan was made public. Many
seemed to think at that time, with the
good news, the movement was over. The
interests, however, responsible for the
wonderful upward flight had another
card UP their sleeve which they were not
showing and which they have kept
carefully and skillfully concealed up to
the present moment. 1t was thought
for time that an advance in the COM
mon dividend rate was the motive. Since
the stock has passed a point whereby
any possible increase in the dividend
would be discounted, the street, Of
course, is looking for something else to
offer as an explanation.
According to street gissip, the prin.
cipal buying during the recent advance
has been for the account Of 30. called in
siders. Under the circumstances, 1t is
reasonable to assume there must be
something far out of the ordinary COM
ing along, else they would not be willing
to pay SIG a share for a stock paying
only per cent year, when there are
so many real bargains still left on the
main counter.

I Told You So Fiend

Since the constructive movement has
at last received a real jolt. and the
long looked for reaction has arrived,
the Street in the next few days, should
1t continue, will be overcrowded with
the II Told You So" nuisance. He is
generally the fellow that either missed
the market or did not possess snfR.
cient backbone to put his belief into
actual execution.
1t cannot be said. however, that the
backset was not unheralded. TO the
contrary. for over n week past, some
of the more conservative houses openly
advised discretion and discrimination
for the market plainly showed all the
earmarks of top-heavy long account.
It does not necessarily mean the cul-
mination Of the constructive movement.
On the contrary. 1t will prove merely a
temporary halt in the major bull move
ment. 1t should be considered a
healthy rather than an unfavorable de-
vel0pment, because it will have the ef-
feet Of eliminating the weaker element
of the market superstructure and pave
the way for q still higher level of val
ues than that already attained.

The OM.LOt BUYER

There was a good deal of discussion
after the close yesterday as to the part
played in the stock market movements
by the odd-lot buyers. Brokers, men,
bers Of odd-lOt firms, said late yester-
day afternoon they did very large
business and it was estimated the odd
lot market amounted to far more than
100000 shares, which did not appear
directly In the records of the days
transactions, although Odd-lot dealers
bought q large proportion Of the stocks
traded in in order to balance their
accounts.
In some cases this odd.lot buying
was reported of large enough volume
to direct price movements, especially
in issues in which the public just now
is taking active interest. This was the
case especially in the high class divi-
dend paying railroad stocks and in
many of the. securities in which there
is a prospect. Of a return. or approach,
to dividend payments '' 17'"..'a'
