Ono OF the most Interesting OF tho many OK.
citing episodes that are constantly occurring
upon the Stock Exchange Is tho sudden and
violent deviation OF the stock market from
whatever course IL may be running upon.
One Of these incidents took place yesterday Il

ton OF forces which had been shaping tho
course OF prices. accompanied by tho inability
OF q part Of the speculative com unity to ro-

upon had Temporarily at least. spent their
force.
The unfavorab!e developments in financial
and business affairs during the last few
months. and particularly during the last few
weeks. had created short interest In stocks,
the magnitude OF which probably very few

Tho Hurry in the stock market yesterday was
doubtless due. to n considerable extent. to the
anxiety OF brokers 10 recover stocks which
they had sold out OF their customers accounts.
At least, one OF tho !arg bears 10 credited with
having coy ered his shorts last week. and others
