NEW YORK, July II UN.S0
The new week should bring some
improvement in stock prices.
The way the market has re.
sponded to the Lausanne news is
pathetic. however, in comparison
with its squirt just year ago on
the Hoover debt proposal, when
stocks were selling three to four
times their present prices.
Public Sour on Stocks
The whole thing indicates that
people don't like stocks any more
whatever the news. In fact, the
market is so friendless that it
may take the turn that it has
SO Stubbornly refused to take
when the galleries were watching
It.
One factor operating against
any real upturn in the market is
the report that congress may
stay in session through the sum-
mer. Solons, combined with heat,
the second quarter reports and
dividend meetings will initiate
against any rally.
Next week the market will have
to contend with dividend actions
on the Consolidated Oil preferred,
Continental Can, Hudson and
Manhattan preferred, Loose Wiles
Biscuit, Liquid Carbonic, Proctor
and Gamble, and Woolworth.
Foreign Buying Helps
One thing in the markets
favor is the continued foreign
buying which has been reported
coming in.
In the past, the foreigners
have always been about six weeks
to two months ahead OF the
domestic traders in buying and
in getting out from under.
