The exceptional gains made in the stock market by a considerable num ber of Issues, particularly in the pub lic utility and automobile groups, has stimulated pool manipulation in other directions. ~ The highly. speculative character of the market, says the Mag azine of Wall Street, may be appre clated from the fact that it is not u common for stocks to gain 10 and points a day. This type of market in flation usually brings its own*correc tion, and the present market will un doubtedly prove no exception In the meantime it is interesting note the reasons brought forward for the advance in individual issues. In most cases they simmer down to the old “bunk” of stock dividends, “‘mel ons” and mergers. Such reasons have been sufficient in recent markets, it is true, to attract a considerable follow ing among the purely speculativel: minded, who are not so much cerned with facts as with illusions. But they are not the sort to appeal | to investors. A rising stock market always brings forth a flock of rumors and tips, in which respect the present is no exception. The careful investor of course, will disregard these sources of “information” and make his invest ments on the tried basis of fact and seasoned judgment.
