Interest has shifted from one to another of these during the week. for the buying of the particular stocks af- fected, but they were for the most part vague rumors and there were often sudden relapses in prices when rumors failed of confirmation and the speculative pools responsible for the movements had taken their prifits. The sumn of these movements helped out the appearance of activity in the market for much of the time, 3 | but they were in reality a symptom of the underlying neglect and indifference of capital to the market. As for the general market as a whole it has maintained a fairly firm under- tone, notwithstanding the tendency toward stagnatfon. That is to say. holders are not seeking to market stocks while the demand is 50 slight that the salesycould be effected only at concessions in pricef This agrees with the widely held theory that a very large volume of securities, representing the proceeds of con- solidations, is in strong hands and that the complete success of the consolidations cannot be said to be assured until the securities find | ownership with the investing public.

The settlement of the Government's suit is recognized to be a -matter of months Jlfi and perhaps vears, and no one supposes that the stock market will lle stagnant all that time. ‘There are factors of more immediate application which promise uncertainty in the speculative sentiment. The money outlook is { by 10 means clear and the resumption of gold exports on a large scale ‘s a complicating factor.
