14 PUBLIC PL AYS STOCK MARKET ONCE AGAIN Begins to Nibble at Specu lation After Long Period of Abstinence. • nr R. I-. iurxtm. NEW YORK, April 7—For the first time In more than two years the big outside public is speculating in the stock market-'on the long side. That is the meaning of the million-share days now being witnessed, with prices dally mak ing new high records for the year. From November 19J9. until last June, the price trend of the market was down ward, discounting world wide trade re action. Since last August the price trend has been upward, discounting a revival In business. Jt is only recently however, that the public has regained enough confidence la the business outlook to take the longe side of the market again. Only a few months or even weeks ago stock brokers were receiving no inquir ies from the speculating public. Sug gestions voluntarily made as to the pros pers of this or that stock advancelng were ignored. With the prices of stocks continuing to advance on the "unexpected recovery that started early this year in farm prod ucts values, the public began to nibble in the stoik market by telepboning in quiries voluntarily. The New York pnbllc no longer Is satisfied with telephone contact with the stock market. Customers’ rooms of brok ers offices are now crowded as they have not been since the long decline in prices began nearly two and a half years ago. When the stock market was still boil ing In 3919 with prices at the top the loans of Wall Street brokerage hou s reached anew high peak of $1,750,000. With the long liquidation that followed thla figure which measures accurately the Interest of the big outside public in the stock market, dropped In July 1921 to J 500.000.000. A month ago, brokers loans here in the Street were estimated at $750,000,000. On all sides it is said those loans are now Increasing rapidly. One large commission house here with a number of out-of-town wires reports it Is doing more than 100.000 6hares a day. Another, with a large Western following, ears It received over one wire alone 450 separate baying orders, mostly in odd lots.—Copyright, 1022, by I’ubllc Ledger Company. SEPARATE M. E.
