have weak holdings eliminated and

There has been mo effort to re-

has been quiet pushing forward Of
individual shares, denotinS confidence

upon operations for the rise.
For the most part stocks are higher
on the week SO is the more Specula-
tive class of bonds. The reason does
not lie in out side developments. The
business situation remains the same
as it has all along. some lines show
ing prosperity, others uncertainty.
Rather the turn has come from the
inside. Stocks sold out at much
higher prices during the excitement
of the Autumn and early Winter have
been brought back. The tendency ac.
cordingly has been upward. without
any forcing of the pace. but with
a feeling that il was safe TO go ahead
with n moderate campaign on the
side of advance.
Stock Boom Unlikely.
This upward swing may go further

dends or highly favorable earnings.
