In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Our prosperity and our wealth are proving costly. When Europe was in distress a few years ago and capital was very much in need we could understand high interest rates, because the lender took some chances. Today Europe is enjoying cheap money. London and Paris discount rates are like ours some time back. While our rate is very high, what a strange difference between conditions in debtor countries and creditor countries. The whole thing looks to the average man like a puzzle. We don’t see that there is much we can do about it except be patient. The only ray of sunshine that we see is that Secretary Mellon is on the job. He is the one man connected with our financial operations that will, in one way or another, straighten matters out, and in the meantime we think that there is enough power back of the market to permit a few stocks at a time to seek their proper levels.
