WALL STREET, WEDNESDAY, Dec, 16—6 P. iu.} A strong undertone was exhibited at the close of the stock mar.et to-day, and in many business circles 1b was intimated that prices were about to change for the octter. ‘This velief was verified by figures that indicated general improvement, Concerning the causes we only know that,the out- side commercial situation invites sympathy and that there are opportunities offered jor invest- ment at low figures which promise good results, Itis an old Spanish maxim that “when things are at the worst they begin to mend.” It 1s to be borne in mind that a large number of capitalists patiently bold stocks at much higher than Present quotations and are awaiting the turn of the wheel that will enable them to ‘Tealize; consequently that all the weight of their influence is thrown in favor of every incideat “that contributes to the attainment of their pro- Jecta, They constitute a strong antagonistic ele- ment in every forced decline, are more or less active and operative, yet bave neither discipline Dor combination. Hence it is that one who is “brave and bold may represent half a million of ‘dollars and be more potent in the use of his capt- ‘tal than @ score of others who are interested in ten times the amount, and who, from the want of (purpose, quietly sit down and see the market go against them, The time is not far distant, how- ever, when both of these forces of the street will | be brought in more direct opposition, when it will be discovered on which side natural causes are ‘working and real commercial strength is ranged. It is but natural that those who are analytically familiar with certain stocks should base their faith upon the weakness of the same and predict misfortunes that may eventually come; but until the discovered rottenness fairly appears it is almost useless to attempt to convince speculators that there is ruin in permanent investments, or that any buli market does not afford opportunity ‘to place money ‘‘where it will do the most good.” | itis eminently desirable, therefore, that every tailway corporation which is the subject of criti- cism on Wali atreet shall present, as ofien as prac- ticable, ‘a clean bill of health,” to, the end that its affairs may be examined and understood, for when it successfully passes the Judgment of the speculative experts it will always be measured by actual values and always forcibly resist as- sault.
