BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECIAIOh
NEW YORK, Aug. 13 G.N.S0
The need for caution this column
has been stressing was amply
borne out by the markets nose
dive yesterday.
Both stocks and commodities
had become topheavy following
the revival of speculative enthusi.
asm. The break will serve to
clear this up and bring healthie;
tone to the market.
The speed with which stocks
went down and the heavy volume
indicated stop loss orders were
being touched off all along the
line.
ShreWd observers are inclined to
look for a trading range now
with the top around 10 on the
industrial averages.
One thing to remember. though,
is that stocks are still in a bulliSh
trend. A shake-out at this time
does not mean that the efforts
to raise the price level being
made by bankers and the Ad.
miniStration have been aban
doned. 1t is still best not to play
the short side. for stocks are
moving very fast.
