Optimism Easy

But aside from this readily
understood and fairly obvious
situation, there is little more TO
be said that is unfavorahle,
while a number Of reasons for
moderate optimism are not hard
TO find
In the first place, the market
turned dull on the reaction. The
total volume of trading for the
week was only 2,250.000 shares,
against 100000 the week be-
fore. Friday and Saturday, brok-
ers might as well have stayed
at home.
In the second place. the mar
ket has attained an q held a
favorable level. 1t has definitely
broken out of the previous mar
row trading range. On the
reaction, il has declined a no
ticeable amount, and has not
gone below a rising trend line
