Today's market WAS again irregular.
with activity conferred in special issues.
The trading In general Is becoming
more professional and this gives US the
frequent fluctuations in both directions.
Trading In the steel issues Is active but
with no well defined idea and much Of
the buying and selling was based on
guesses as to the basis to be established
in the announced merger well as IN
those under contemplation.
One point to be considered in connec-
ton with present market is that bulges
are not as well maintained as in the
past. and selling pressure develops at
more frequent intervals. This, undOubt-
eddy. is the result of the change that has
occurred in the general position OF the
market, In which the public interest has
assumed rather large proportions. and
this will remain an important factor in
the trading. because long as the pub
lie interest remains large and loans In
crease the market will be susceptible
frequently not only to attack from the
bearish element but also to profit taking
on a sufficient scale to give us these
frequent irregular periods. As to the fu-
ture there can be little doubt hut that
the tendency Of all business will be to-
ward Improvement and this will be re-
fie"ted in an ultimately higher level OF
prices.
In order to derive he most benefit from
this it is advisable to pursue eonserva-
tive course and not indulge in over-e
tension.

her passing leaves them with the
sense of an irreparable loss. About

that love could suggest. Besides her
parents and baby brother she leaves

Charley Ferguson and the Times
Record reporter were standing in
front of Stern Bros. confectionery and
fruit store yesterday watching some
fellows unload watermelons and hop
ing that one of the melons would hit
the sidewalk as it was being tossed
from one man to the other so that we
could get hunk free, but luck was
not roosting on our shoulders that day.
However, Charley was in reminis-
cent mood and said: "A year ago I
raised some pretty good sized melons
and they were fine. This year I
tried it again but had poor success.
You see in the early part of the sea-
son we had so much rain that the
vines grew so rapidly that they drag
ged the melons over the ground and
wore them out. Melons are not a
success this year, with me. Down in
, Georgia the climate and solar system
lis different, things move slower than
up here and the melons have chance
to develop without any undue excite
ment." We said we guess so. s..
