BulIinE II Along


It is becoming more and more
obvious that there is a definite
and concerted effort to put
stocks and bring about better
feeling on securities and business
in general. Action Of the market
wednesday and yesterday in the
face Of q brokerage house failure,
Southern bank difficulties and q
rnuddled wheat situation is elo-
quert testimony that some power
full group with plenty OF cash has
taken things in hand.
There are all sorts of rumors,
In which the biggest bankers and
financiers are mentioned, and
some of the buying recently has
been openly by sources associated
with the great. The Southern
bank failures, am told, has had
something to do with 1t, for these
banks suffered not only from i'm
paired collateral values but also
from frozen agricultural loans.
Better security prices will help
them immeasurably.
So it appears that the bulls
win get the Thanksgiving turkey
this year, and apparently the big
bears are willing to let them have
whatever small satisfaction is left
In this now. It has been pretty
lean year for bulls, and they are
becoming grateful for even small
favors. Yet their turn is coming,
and soon, too. 1t has always
been thus. The incurable bear
in the long run gets it in the
neck.
Steel Buying
One house with the best Of
steel connections paid 149, the
top price, for United States Steel
yesterday. I hear that there is
q lot Of buying waiting for steel
to come down a bit, most Of
these bids coming into the market
In the last few days.
The iron Age report was en-
couraging in that it promised
real steel business after the turn
of the year. OF course, there is
still no reason to believe earn
ings reports Of the steel COM
panies for the. current quarter
will be anything to write home
about, but these won't be pub
lished until well in January, and
If they come at q time when
production schedules are being
stepped UP sharply they will be
overlooked as Just 50 much water
over the dam.
I am told that General Elec-
trio and Westinghouse have been
getting good deal more bust
ness lately, and that insiders are
q little more optimistic. Both
companies seem sure to cover
their dividends this year, but at
current prices it is difficult get
ting bullish on them, especially
General Electric.
