Variety in the Market by Theodore Williams HE spice of variety has certainly not been lacking in the securities market during the past few months. ‘The irregu- larities in quotations have been numerous. and sudden enough to keep the speculator excited and the investor in doubt. The course of prices has baffled the ablest guessers and there still no prepon- derating opinion as to the market's future. Good news has at times steadied the situation, but not initiated a boom, and unfavorable news, while it has de- pressed the issues immediately concerned, has not provoked a lasting broad decline. Conditions have become so uncertain, however, that leading financial houses have admonished their clients that caution is the best policy for the time being. The most damaging recent blow to the market was the passing of the dividend on American Woolen common. That stock necessarily fell many points and dragged others down in sympathy. But state- ments promptly appeared which gave the | textile trades a better prospect and undid a part of Woolen’s adverse effect. The probable rehabilitation of Europe prom- ed under the Dawes plan is not wholly a bullish factor, for there is uncertainty as to what increased industrial activity across the sea will mean to our manufac- ture Even the trend toward economic conservatism indicated in the Maine elec- tion did not greatly stimulate the market. Seemingly, the public and the industrial world felt that one State election is not conclusive as to a nation-wide campaign. Neverthele: iness in general has maintained its position quite well and e pectations of improved operations this fall are high. There will naturally be more or less hesitation until the administrative policy of the country for the next four ears is clearly determined. That will be within a few weeks, and should the result not be unsettling, there should be new prosperity in the land. Then it will be possible to forecast with some sureness the trend of the securities market. Until that time investor and speculator may have to exercise keen insight and discrimination in making their commitments. 22 .
