stocks We're snapped up with avidity
The prominent spccialties and the
Changers had The most conspicuous
advances, but the strength was quite
well distributed in the list and gains

After the opening rush the market fell
into dizziness and drifted rather aim
lessly below the high point but with
out falling 10 the opening level.
The hardness Of the market discour-
aged all professional attempts to de-
press prices and the 5uoyancy Of few
individual stocks stimulated a rise to
the highest Of the day. The later
transactions were limited in volume and
the closing was almost inanimate but
firm at the top, The absence OF any
large general demand after the rush
to cover shorts, considered in cOnnec-
ton with yesterdays downward move
ment, Indicates that the market is near
the point of stability
Yesterdays decline failed to dis
lodge any large offerings, indicating
that the supply is firmly and strongly
held. But there was equally an alb
sancc OF any effort on the part Of inside

cept in special cases. The demand
from the shorts was very pronounced
in Tobacco, Sugar, Peoples Gas and the
Changers. There vas also a morning
demand for London account which lift
