changed as far as quotations were

thing to do with the easier tone in

able that the invitation to profit TAX =
ing afforded by the rise of the past
ten days was too strong to be re-
sisted. There was. however. no weak
ness anywhere and in some cases the
move was upward. Opinion of traders
and dealers continued optimistic az to
the long-range outlook.

In demand. Foreign bonds were ac-
tive again, although slightly lower.

ly going on. French SIS at one time
