...bought for $10,000,000, all the others for $27,000,000-TIME, July 19). United American Line. Averrell Harriman closed the sale of his Resolute, Reliance and Cleveland to the Wilhelm Cuno's Hamburg-American Line last week. He wished to sell last spring (TIME, Mar. 15).

These latter were certainly supported by the ease and plenitude of money which has prevailed for so long a period. Last week the stock waves approached a level. Business throughout the country during the week was fairly stable. To intimate that prices may decline slightly during the coming months may seem uncouth and previous.
