ILL STREET IS
CLEARING DECKS
FOR BIG MARKET
—••
NEW YORK, July 15. (/P)_Wall!
Street is preparing for a big
stock market this fall.
The money pinch in March,
which sent the call money rate!
to 20 per cent, sounded the death
knell of the spring market. Daily
sales which reached a point a- i
round 5,000,000 shares at that
time, dropped later to an aver, i
age less than 3,000,00. Toward j
the end of June the market start- j
ed to pick up again, with the
sales crossing the 4,000,000 share i
level.
Leading brokers quickly came
to the conclusion ths spring that
a big broad market would be
improbable while the credit rates
were high and the supply of
money low. But they figured that
the stringency would last only a
few months unless there was a
general recession in business They
counted also on the resumption
of big markets as soon as money
became easier.
