Custom- ers’ rooms in brokerage houses are rather deserted during the hot weather. Prices of both stocks and bonds have been easing. While nom- inally these are the days of the “bar- gain hunter,” even that nsuaily ac- tive breed has been less busy. Con- sensus of opinion seems to be that until fall, at least, the market will continue to enjoy siesta. The record-breaking first half i now a memory, but it is a memory green and alive, The Strect hae not forgotten the bull market which continued for more than four years and in May and June of 1925 devel- oped into a succession of 4,000,000~ share days and steadily rising prices. Brokers' loans exceeded $5,000,000 for the first time in history. New high price records were made and broken only to e made anew. The cost of ock Exchange member- ships soared to around $400,000. Commission houscs were worked to capacity—and record profits. The agtivities of the market were “first page news" in the country’s news- papers and the entire public became deeply interested. The market Kkept boiling until late June, the strain increasing. Predictions that this was only a be- ginning and that speculation would attain even greater volume were being made, Then the break. Probably fear that further expan- sion of brokers' loans would strain the country’s credit facilities caused the break. A sudden decline in the stock of the Bancitaly Corporation, nvolved with loans at high rates alled for payment far out on the Pacific coast made traders nervous. A further drop of a few dollars a share from the high levels Bancitaly had reached, despite warnings of its onsors that it was “selling out of line” with true value, made the en- tire speculative structure tremble and soon the house of paper came | slithering down, giving the market | its first 5,000,000-share day. Subsequent developments were quite as interesting. The fact the | rountry had expected more than | $400,000,000 in gold within a few [ months " attracted attention.
