Str*??f C?m*r Wliltaaa titW YORK Trade ?and Finance Development? of the Week and Their Bearing on the Outlook Th? ?took market last weak was not nuMh ?firfferent from what ?the Strert flu baen experiencing all sum? mer lone The professional traders ware completely In control. They be? came more courageous on the selling side and offered stocks freely at the outset of tha period, applying special pressure on stocks that appeared vul? nerable to attack. Their efforts met with a fair degree of success, even if no real liquidation was produced, un? til a point was reached when the mar? ket became oversold^ which meant that the outstanding short account had be? come large and unwieldy. Where? upon the professionals who had ?old for the decline began to make repur ! chases and in so doing found it neces? sary to bid stocks up in order to cover their requirements. Such a market as this does not mean a great deal. Day-to-day price changes never do mean much even in an active market. It is rather the ! broad price swings that are significant ! and prophetic. The record of stock j market performance as it stands to ! date this year shows a progressive de ? cllne in stock values. There have i been temporary recoveries, but they have been only brief interruptions in the general trend. The stock market began to discount the current slacken I ing of business before the turn came. I It will discount industrial stabilization j before there is concrete evidence of I that fact. Many observers hold that j the market is nearing the turning j point, but few are willing to back up this opinion with buying orders. Hence the market mills around and the pro I fessionals are able to churn stocks up and down at their bidding. It seems a wellnigh? hopeless task to try to arouse enthusiasm in Wall Street over the immediate outlook for I speculative securities. For every bull ! there seem to be a hundred bears and ? the latter have most of the logic on ; their side. Making the rounds of the ; brokerage houses where stocks are \ bought and sold, one finds a disposi | tion on the part of folk who follow stocks day in and day out to sidestep and surround with a high barrier of qualifications all prognostications re i garding stocks. One will be told, for ! instance, that there are no reasons : whatsoever for buying stocks in view of the innumerable imponderables in the general situation. But at the same time one will be advised that it is dan? gerous to sell stocks at these levels, I since prices are down anywhere from I 30 to 60 points from their highs of last ! year. To the man who is not well versed in the ways of the securities mart the problem involved in making a i decision regarding present or future j commitments is most difficult. It is i small wonder, then, that the public has I quit speculation almost en masse and | that even the professionals, who are I supposed to know all the fine points of I ?.be game, are proceeding cautiously. Much is heard about the wicked bears, I who are held to be responsible for ' many of the troubles now besetting i the stock market. No doubt there is I short selling of a vicious character go ; ing on, especially in the case of spe ! cial issues which are open to concerted ; bear attack. It might be a good thing ? for the Stock Exchange to put back into operation tha regulations in force shortly after the United States entered ; the war to stamp out vicious bear raid i ing. Those were fairly effective then &nd probably would help now in stop j ping such practices, which injure real values and react upon the whole mar? ket. But if the trend of prices is down? ward, as it has been for several months, no rules aimed at the short sellers will check the movement', for liquidation will have to run its course in securities as well as in commodities. And when the process of deflation is completed the pendulum will swing back in the other direction. The stock market has been and is still suffering more from the enormous outpourings of new securities floated on the wild wave of speculation in 1919 than any other one influence. As a prominent banker put It recently, the | market has been unable to assimilate j the huge mass of not only undigested but indigestible securities. Only now are many stocks which were unloaded upon a gullible public just beginning to get back to a level somewhere near their real values. In times like these seasoned securities are always the best to own. The newer issues oftentimes have a way of disappearing from the trading list. At the close of last week the aver? age price of thirty representative in? dustrial stocks stood at 85.37, after having fallen on Wednesday to 83.03. The recovery from the low for the year amounts to about three points. The high average of the thirty indus? trials this year was 110.30, last year, 119.33. The average of ten railroad bonds maintained its level during the week. Investment bankers looked upon the sole of the New York Central ten-year 7 per cent bonds as a test of the ab j sorptlve power of the market. Tho issue was well taken and rapidly over ! subscribed. The success of this offer? ; ing is likely to encourage bankers to | underwrite other loans which are : known to be under negotiation. De i spite the seasonal dullness, the market ; seems ready to take a limited amoupnt I of new creations in bonds at an at I tractive rate. After a week in New York, Jean V. Parmenticr, who came here as the spe? cial envoy of the French Minister of Finance in quest of a new loan, now has a fairly deflnito idea of tho con j ditions under which his government ' can borrow funds in the American in I vestment market. As soon as he re? ceives cabled instructions from his chief he is likely to close a deal with J. P. Morgan & Co. It was officially stated at the end of last week that the terms of the loan had not yet been de? termined. However, observers antici? pate a $100,000,000 loan running about fifteen years, in which the bonds will ? pmy lnter-st at tho rat? of 8 per cent annually. . , .j Call money at 9 per cent, the top rat? quoted Wall Street borrower? last week, stood at tho highest level of the month. It took only comparatively small government withdrawals from the banks to force the price up, demon? strating once more tho inHtabillty and extreme sensitiveness of the call mar? ket. The demands for credit of o really active speculation in stocks would under such conditions be almost certain to result in a Bevere squeeze Stock speculators know this probably better than any one else and govern themselves accordingly. Quito aparl from the stock market phase of th? money market, there are evidences o? improvement in credit conditions. Thii comes mainly from the reloase of bank ing credits frozen in side-tracked ship ments. The railroads are beginning t< function properly again. Current weakness in the foreign ex changes, especially sterling, which hai fallen some 40 cents in tho pound un der the hieb reached on last spring': recovery, has been attributed to bcv eral influences, particularly the po litical complications in Europe am the recent turn of affairs in Poland If the Polish situation had been mainl; responsible for the weakness one mlgh have looked for a substantial recover; following the sudden end unexpectei reverses administered the Bolshevil forces in their drive for Warsaw. Bu no such recovery has occurred, and ac cordingly one must look elsewhere fo an explanation of tho continued un settlement of the exchanges. O course, this is a season of tho yea when the outward movement of Amei ican cotton and wheat runs very heavj so that the market has been calle upon lately to absorb an unusuall large volume of cotton and grain an grain bills arising out of such tram actions. As regards sterling, the English rie is Interesting. "It is probable," saj a London observer, "that for the m< ment we have seen the worst of tl break in rates and that exchange wil New York will be more or less stabi ized at about its present level fi some weeks to come. But it is equal probable that as the season progress' and when the autumn is full upon v we'shall see the rate decline to Febr ary's low level. Our progress h? been rapid during the last s months; our stability and inhere soundness ore now at a higher estim tion in America than at any time sin the armistice, in spite of alarmi statements concerning our financial ai economic position which have recent found currency. That the rate will eve tually return to par nobodv doubts, b it is not so generally recognized th this will not be for a long time to con Wo cannot ourselves get back to nc mal conditions until the recovery the European countries is an acco plished fact. Our ultimato aim mi be to restore tho gold standard, a the dollar exchange will not return par till this is accomplished, but cannot hope to reestablish an effect: gold standard without reference to 1 economic and financial position of c late allies and enemies."
