CLOSE Of LONG
BEAR MARKET
SEEN NEAR
Selling Climax Is Expected
BY Careful Stock Analysts
to End Liquidation Period
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, April 28.-Despite
continued unsettlement in prices,
which is steadily forcing the aver
ages to record low levels for the
depression period, the stock list
by it's own action is gradually
strengthening the belief that the
final phase of the long bear
market is at hand.
While a good portion of the
speculative community is adher-
ing to a Scale-dOwn accumulation
policy in the belief that when q
turn comes it will give no previous
indications, close analysts Of the
situation feel that the most pru-
dent course is to await a selling
climax.
Investment Liquidation
It is pointed out that the specu-
lative account, for all practical
purposes, is thoroughly liquidated,
and the slower process of liquidat'
ing investment holdings is under
way. Longer range values are
ignored temporarily in this
process.
Just as in 1929, the advance
ran for about one year past all
danger signals which in past
market history indicated the ap-
proximate top of bull markets,
so the current decline is likewise
ignoring for an exceptional length
of time many of the indicators
which have in the past success
fully indicated the turning points
of bear markets.
Should the present stream of
liquidation culminate in selling
climax, as anticipated, subStan-
tial purchases of selected stocks
for long-term holding would be
warranted.
Earnings Estimates
Standard statistics estimates of
probable first half-year per share
earnings of leading companies as
against earnings for correspond
ing period of last year are as
follows: General Motors, $1.6O,
against $2.15; Packard, 10 cents,
against 81 cents; Bendix, so
cents, against 73 cents; Johns
Manville, IS cents, against $l.95:
General Foods, $1.90, against
$2.01; National Biscuit. $145.
against SLAB; National Dairy,
$2.10, against $2.12: Bohn Aluni-
mum, $2.75, against $1.95, and
General American Tank Car, So,
against $4.61.

NEW YORK, March 2--The Sher-|

Miller, executive manager of the Nal
tional Association of Credit Men, ehargesI
In the associations March review of
business. issued today.
Reasonable competition stimulated
initiative and progress, but cut-throatI
competition is business scourge." DR.
Miller said. The Sherman Clayton
acts were meant to protect the buyer
from an unfair price and to protect all
types of business from unfair practices.
However, it is one thing to state a gen.
eral policy and another thing to inter-
pref and administer it.
THE Sherman-C Clayton acts as they
now exist are retarding the elimination
OF waste. They are interfering In the
administration of legitimate business
and are delaying business recovery"
In this connection, DR.. Miller pointed
out that creditor groups in a particular
industry are frequently prevented from
entering into agreements to put certain
unstable customers on cash basis be-
cause of the fear that such agreements
would be held in restraint of trade.
This condition, he said, adds to thei
difticulty Of upholding credit standards
and brings about wasteful competition
founded upon unsound credit risks.
Regarding the current business sit !
uation, DR.. Miller said that activity
in the stock market during recent
weeks has undoubtedly helped To-
strengthen sentiment, although the
Leading business indices show little
change from last months levels.
Some observers assume a cynical at
titude toward the partial recovery of
security levels" DR.. Miller said. but
we are not inclined to share this view.
"A certain amount of manipulation
