CHARACTER OF TRADING.

Bear traders were active in yesterdays market
Many small accounts liquidated and many
large accounts were increased Bear attacks were
successful In bringing out considerable commission
house stock. but there little important liquida
ton. Good buyers absorbed offerings. and stocks
In general passed into stronger hands. London
bought and local banking houses took stocks for
rich customers. Mr. Keene and his followers
bearish, but the chances that Mr. Keene covered
his contracts the decline. Stocks reached at
tractive levels and a rally is now due. Vicious
tactics against the steel group caused sharp de-
clines in all the steel issues but there
legitimate cause for selling Early strength In the
traction shares followed by weakness. Brook
lyn Rapid Transit suffering the most despite its
early advance to so. Third Avenue touched 11s on
of the shorts in the third hour OF trading
but reacted little with the rest of the list In the
final dealings. Missouri Pacific again a strong
feature; also Norfolk and Western. The Pacific
stocks were in good demand the decline. Balti-
more and Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio issues
We're firm and higher without material final reces-
sion. International paper advanced inside buy
ing. Standard Oil and Flower brokers were active
buyers the decline. Sugar Refining rallied on
the advance by the Arbuckles of their price for
refined sugar, but declined before the close. Third
Avenues substantial advance followed a demand
from the shorts on the announcement of the sale
of $s5.eooooo bonds guaranteed by the Metropolitan
company
