She took a cigarette from shell

"A1l right-catch!" Pat said,
and tossed her a box of safety

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Feb 24.-The reduc-
ton of brokers' loans reported
Thursday afternoon should be we'll
received. It speaks well for the
market to have accomplished that
much in a brief space of time and
in a. fairly orderly manner. But
more must be accomplished in this
direction. Therefore we remain of
opinion that our bulges will be the
result of periodic short covering and
each bulge will attract further liqui-
dalton, not necessarily in the entire
stock list, because we must bear in
mind that we have a g0Nd many
exceedingly high grade issues that
are we'll held and constantly sought
by investors But we have many
hundreds of issues that are today,
as they have been for a long time,
in the speculative class, that have
been advanced by purely specula-
tive efforts, and in the end they
will all seek and reach a level more
consistent with real value and earn
ings. Because of the varying degree
of merit in the list we look for what
may best be described as highly ir-
regular markets rather than the
old-fashioned bear market.
