...reasons for optimism is that volume has been comparatively small; as the market slid, much of the selling came from small investors. Big institutional investors have not been selling, but they have not been buying either, thus have not been the bullish force they usually are. Brokers do not think that much of the bad news on the domestic side is cause for great concern. For two weeks, the market's anticipation of a rise in the Federal Reserve's discount rate added to the decline. But at week's end, after the rise came, the market...
...Bullish economic news generally tightens the money market, encouraging more borrowers to compete for the available supply. For the nation's bankers, home builders, corporations and consumers, the tightening means that they must pay more to get the money they need to make loans, build houses, expand industry, buy autos, appliances and TV sets. Money has been gradually tightening up since spring as the economy spurted to new highs; last week it got a heavy turn of the vise...
...companies with big defense contracts, or in the missile-and space-based electronics industry, dumped their stocks. They felt that any warming in the cold war might bring a cutback in defense orders, even though most Wall Streeters believe that an end to the cold war would be bullish, since it would open the way for a cut in the U.S. budget and in taxes. The Dow-Jones industrial averages dropped 6.31 points in the week, led downward by the electronics stocks. Electronics manufacturers were flying high; Texas Instruments reported alltime-high second-half earnings of $1.62 per share...
...running lower than Ottawa economists dared expect only a few months ago. The number of jobless Canadians dropped sharply last month to 234,000, which is 3.7% of the labor force, compared with 10% in March 1958. As the result of stronger demand for Canadian raw materials in the bullish U.S. recovery, Canadian exports to the U.S. surged to $321.1 million in June (v. $233.6 million in June 1958), and overall exports were up to a one-month record of $519.9 million. Canada's index of industrial production is up 7% over last year, and industrial capital investment...
...investors continued to pour their money into M.I.T., the trust moved into first place among the nation's mutual funds in 1936, with assets of $130 million (v. $15.1 million in 1930). Despite its bullish position, M.I.T. sailed through the sharp market break of 1937 with hardly a change in its portfolio; it simply put new cash into Treasury notes as a defensive measure. In that year, Dwight Robinson was rewarded for his work by being moved up to trustee. In 1954, when Merrill Griswold moved up to honorary chairman of the advisory board, Robinson slipped into his chair...
