The stock market was raided by the cliques with
view to shaking weak spectators out Of their
stocks, as well as to encourage the formation OF
short interest the part OF outsiders The latter
have, of late, learned to speculate and knowing
that at this Of the year the chances are more
in favor OF rising than falling market
they were "bulls" instead OF "bears" much
to the annoyance or the cliQues, who
found II impossible to buy stocks without running
the market UP very rapidly The recent ''bear''
cgues having turned 'bulls," and desiring to buy
stocks, found themselves compelled to bid up the
STOCK held by the pubic. Hence, to get the desired
stock they determined on the raid to-day, the par

programme with which he was originally credited.
However 1t Afforded pretcxr, and as Wall street Is

nent was wrought upon with astonishing results.
The market went or In seml-panlc, and
