In the Stock Market
(By Thomson &c McKinnon

NEW YORK, Dec. What is it
nat is responsible for these big
markets? Is it trade boom? Is 1t
he Ford car? There is trade i'm
provement but it is long way from
a boom. If the price list published
this morning Of the Ford spells
anything, it spells continued boom
for General Motors. Is it money?
Yes, but there is something more
than that. 1t is an overwhelmingly
optimistic sentiment which now per-
vades the speculative field. The
pressure Of money is augmented
this morning by three or four hun
bred million dollars of interest and
dividend payments, some of which
will go into investment and a great
deal into channels of trade. On this
showing alone we should have a
strong and active market today, but
it may furnish occasion for wide
spread proft-taking, while senti-
ment is no more stable than the
weather, liable to change without
warning. Keep your long commit
ments in hand against such an
emergency.
