In the Stock Market
fRv Thomson \ McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-There sp-
pears to be agreement in expressed
opinion this morning on at least two
conditions within the market-that
the pendulum has swung too far
and that the downward readjust-
ment in a great many cases has
brought q long list of securities to
levels substantially below intrinsic
value. Undoubtedly forced selling,
which will probably be continued
during the early part of today's
session, will attract investment bar
gain hunters, but more important
than this is we'll defined report
that influential bankers conferred
late Wednesday for the purpose of
organizing support. The impression
Is also gaining ground that con-
structive action may be decided
upon after the close by the federal
reserve board. Whether or not it
marks the end of liquidation we are
inclined to believe that the present
selling wave will be fairly we'll COM
pleted during the early part of the
session and we should get some re-
covery, particularly in the better
grade of stocks. which appear to
have been sacrificed in Wednesdays
collapse.
