midyear upswing, reached in July
after the recoro-making move upward
in the last 10 days of June.
Since late in July the market on
balance hasn't gone anywhere. But
rarely have traders had so much "ac-
ton" in the interval. The rapid day
to-day change in the European out
look during September, with sentiment
in financial circles swinging between
the extremes of fear and hope for
world peace. made golden oppor-
tunity for agile traders.

back almost to the peaks of the sum-
n1er upSWlng, chart readers were faced
with the question again whether the
market had the power to penetrate
the July peaks. Repeatedly it bumped
against the tops, but could not make
the grade.
The first recognizable clouds of the
Czech-Nazi dispute began to gather on
the horizon late in July, when a sub
stantial flow of gold to New York got
under way, later rising to tumultuous
rush of metal to this country. But the
average trader, grown used to Euro
pean crises the last few years, said the
stock market merely had paused to wait
for business to justify the big June
July advance in security prices.
Business moved up steadily through
August into September. Still stocks
refused to stir out of the trading
range marked out after the mid-year
upswing petered out After Labor
Day the growing seriousness of the
war threat finally convinced the street
generally that it was threatened war,
principally, that was making the mar
ket hesitant and called for a reap
praisal of the future.
Now that Mars has taken back seat
again, the question whether the market
could hurdle the July highs on pros
poets of further industrial Improvement
in the United States returns to the
fore in trading discussions.
