FINANCIAL REVIEW.

Again today the same conflicting
tendency between investment and
speculative markets was noted. that
have been in evidence for the last
month. Bond prices continued TO
weaken, while stocks for the most
part were strong. The explanation
for this is simply that the bond mar
ket. being more sensitive than the
stock market TO rising money rates.
has been affected where the other has
not by the signs that money is gradu-
ally hardening in response to the in
creasing commercial demands.
Undoubtedly the inspiration for
most of the days buying on the stock
exchange came from purely profess
sional sources. In other words il was
not spontaneous demand for stocks
on the part Of the outside public. but
rather a somewhat bolder extension
of operations by the Wall Street syn
tlicates. Still the essential point was
that the professionals would not have
kept working on the side of higher
prices had actual holders of stocks
been selling in any large way. The
line of lesser resistance still lay ur-
ward il not for the entire list. yet for
a large number of individual shares
The only difference between the
money market today and that of Mon
day was the lenders were showing y
growing indisposition TO offer monev
on the longer period at present rates.
Sterling exchange was somewhat firm
er and so were francs. but in neither
instance was there any change of con
sequence
