Wall Street Chatter NEW YORK (UPI United Business Service notes several factors which currently are in the market's favor. These include: The improved quality of corpor ate earnings, the less cyclical na ture of the economy and the smaller supply of shares from new financing. The Boston-based firm feels that as long as the outlook for busi ness and corporate earnings con tinues so favorable, the market should perform fairly well. How ever, the firm points out that after an advance of the propor tions experienced recently, it will not be surprising to see a period of pause and consolidation before the uptrend continues. G. S. Colby of Colby & Co. is somewhat uncertain about the very near term, but still leans to the view that investors will be able to buy some stocks a little cheaper belorc they become dear er. Colby feels that if this hap pens, investors should seize the opportunity to buy on weakness, and if enough weakness develops, institutional investors should be come more active and the gen eral public will return to the market.
