NEW YORK. July 19-Wall Street, 1:45 p. m.-The
Post says: The advance in stocks which began In
the last hour yesterday, and continued through the
forenoon to-day. Is due entirely to the squeezing of
the short interest which has been compelled to
cover. The extreme dullness of the market and the
1everlsn fluctuations over narrow range for day
or two previous showed that there was no consid-
eraDle investment demand, while the sudden
change from dulness to activity and advancing
prices shows that they are the effect of manipula.
ton and that as soon the short interest Is pretty
Well eliminated there Will be a reaction.

dull and about the only signs of activity

siderable activity in that line. The s'esti-
