Assuring Conditions by Theodore Williams Te great post-election activity in the securities market, with the at- tending upward rush of prices, was a distinct surprise to New York’s finan- cial district. After Election Day four years ago quotations receded instead of rising. Before Novem- ber 4 this year prices had firmed up to a degree that led many observers to anticipate a stiff reaction after all the bullish news had come out. But the general public had evidently been waiting for a conservative victory and an overwhelming flood of orde1 came from all parts of the country to the financial houses of the metrop- olis. s a consequence 2,000,000 share days were no longer a novelty. This enormous trading was virtually a sort of a celebration of assured prosperity. But in no circumstances can prices continue to soar indefinitely. Pro- nounced and rapid rises are usually checked by profit taking and short selling. General business has cer- tainly been improving, but not so much as to warrant a runaway mar- ket. The tendency to advance too fast was corrected to some extent, but the boom went on some days to unreasonable bounds. There was much blind and unwise speculation. However, recoveries succeeded reces- sions and the disposition seemed to be to forge ahead. Fundamental conditions were regarded as too good to permit a marked retreat in values soon. In fact, a lasting bull market of the major class was at last believed to be on. Investors who are nimble-witted enough to take advantage of fluctua- tions still have many chances for profitable purchases. They may not now get spectacular gains, but the standard shares will surely win out, and some of the lower grade issues are likely to climb.

It seems beyond doubt that better business, better figures for securities and better times are coming to this land. Nevertheless, as prices of securities advance, caution in making commitments should increase.
