culties under which speculative opera
tions are nowadays conducted. 1t
may be that the general price-earn-
ings ratio remains as reasonable as
1t is because the price-boosting pro-
chvities of speculative cliques have
been restrained.
And stiff margin regulations, which
may become even sitter in the fu-
ture, have left no place for the weak
accounts, so often in the past the prey
of "shake-out" maneuvers. Partly as
result of high margin requirements
and partly because of the pressure Of
funds seeking investment, the notable
rise in quoted values of listed stocks
on the New York Stock Exchange has
been financed largely on a cash basis.
Brokers loans used to fluctuate in
correspondence with changes in stock
values, but, says the December bulle-
tin of the New York Stock Exchange,
"the value of listed shares has now
risen to levels similar to those that
prevailed in the latter part of 1928,
but brokers' loans are less than one
sixth of what they were then. More
over, there has been no net increase
in these loans since the middle Of
1884. despite the fact that the value
Of shares listed on the exchange has
doubled
Trading Volume Moderate.
BY reason Of the high-margin dam
per. stock trading volume has been
moderate this year. by comparison
either with pre-depression standards
or the fare-up in the Summer OF 1898.
Because of the quasi-investment ma
ture OF the market, sober judgment
Of values present and prospective has
had larger play than usual. with the
result Of high selectivity in move
ments as between different groups of
stocks and issues within those groups.
On basis of percentage gains in
group price indices. the groups which
have Jared best in 1896 are the farm
implement, rubber and tire. cotton
textile. metal. explosive. mail order,
railroad equipment and department
stores
Among the groups which have ap-
preciated less than the average for
48 different classif1cations are Pc
troleum, sugar producing and refining,
aviation transport and manufactur.
ing, automobile equipment, building
supply. food canning. office equipment,
public utility, cigar, baking. radio and
cigarettes. Groups to show declines
in the index were distillery. meat
packing, wool, snuff, alcohol and
cottonseed oil.
Some of the backward groups in
1896 were out in front in 1885, while
others are tagging, not because re-
covery has passed them by, but rather
for the reason that benefits are slow
in filtering through to them.
In this category. the investor who
investigates first and makes sure of
his ground may find some of the op-
portunities for 1897.

Setbacks From Abroad.
Looking back over the course of
stock prices in 1896, it must be re-
garded as significant that such set
backs as have occurred in the market
have been mainly due to outside"
influences which have had only an
indirect relationship either to recov-
cry or the going return on money.
In April the markets were unsettled
by fears which followed Hitler's
Rhinish gesture. In August it was
the Spanish situation that worried the
markets into q decline, and in Sep
tember there was concern over the
possible repercussions of devaluation
Of the French franc. but the tripartite
"eentlemen's agreement" set none
tary fears at rest and the market
surged ahead again. Toward the year
end the London markets fears of q
grave constitutional crisis, along with
renewed alarm over the Spanish in
Movements, were depressing. But so
far. with each recurring setback, the
market has come to realize that, while
1t hesitated, business improvement
continued to move forward.
Corporation earnings have more
than kept pace with the rise in quoted
values. The price-earnings ratio of
the average stock is now no higher
than 1t was 10 months ago. Roughly,
prevailing prices are about 18 times
earnings and. back in April, 1885,
they were over 20 times earnings.
