On {the other hand, the association of support against the effects of any unfavorable in- luenees was taken to prove that the con- trol of the. market was still strongly en- trefched in the hands of the coterle of powerful cepitalists which has been credited with the direction of the specula- tion for many months. It was with the probable future plans of this element that speculative surmise and conjecture concerned themselves prinel- pally, as between a determination to push the price advance further in the coming year or an effort to distribute heavy hold- ings on the first favotable opportunity af- forded by an awakened general demand for stocks. The fact of enormous undis- tributed accumulaticns in the hands of market organizations Is generally assumed An interruption to their plans for market operations during the fall by the recall of foreign credits and the policy of tha Bank of England s inferred from the known course of events. Various con- tirgencies that may serve as obstacles to the completion of their plans are taken account of in the estimate of the future. There is much discussion of the pending | supreme court decislons in the American Tobaceo and the Standard OIl cases and it Is feared the uncertainty surrounding the expected decislons may harm the stock speculation, and even In some degree regu lar business activitics. The strength of the forelgn exchange market polnted to an outgo of gold direct {to London during the coming week.

The labor problem Is kept In view by the formulation of demands for increased wages by rallroad employes, the declara- ton of war against the United States Steel corporation by the Pittsburg labor confer. cnce and by the general conslderation of the high cost of living. The purchases ot several independent telephone lines by J Pierpont Morgan kept alive the conviction that extensive capital combinations were still being worked.
