to handle the undertaking and the
manner in which prospective Dor
rowers receive the offer are likely to
play an important part in its sue
cess or failure, however. It should
be recognized. though, that most
people today are more eager to get
out Of debt than they are to con-
tract more. This is especially true
where real estate is concerned.
Business is likely to need some
assistance this summer if it is not
to lose a portion of the gain it has
made during the last year. Hav-
ing already turned downward from
its spring peak, many people have
begun to believe that we are in for
much more than seasonal decline.
The action of the security markets
seemed to suggest such a develop
ment, although, as is generally
known, trade prospects have not
been the only important factor in
their performance.
XXTHEN President Roosevelt

flation via the silver route the i'm

this caused misgivings in some

DASSAGE of a compromise Flet-
Il cher-Rayburn stock exchange
regulation measure, which now
seems assured, is expected to re-
suit in a number of consultations
of New York Stock Exchange brok-
erage houses. Trade is expected to
be greatly reduced when the new

available is not likely to warrant
the existence of so many concerns.
brokers do not expect the new
- law to force any of their men,
berS into bankruptcy, however, al
though it was admitted that some
might be obliged to close shop be-
cause of improbable operations.
Statistical and clerical forces also
are expected to be greatly reduced.
No doubt is held that the measure
will greatly reduce speculation.
