ADVANCES AT THE OPENING
ENTIRELY MELTED AWAY.
The spurt at the Opening Was Caused
by the Shorts, but There Was Moth
ing to Sustain the Rise.

New York, November 13.--Quite violent
advances at the opening OF today's stock
market. which were somewhat exceeded by
a rally from subsequent reaction. entire
ly melted away before the close, which was
weak and at net losses, reaching point for
some OF the leading speculative stocks.
After the heavy declines OF the last two
days reassuring reports this morning were
TO the adjustment of trouble affecting some
speculative accounts and the absence Of
pressure In the money market the refusal
Of the market 20 stay up was something Of
a surprise. After so considerable reac-
ton, involving the creation, as n matter OF
course, OF a large short interest. a rally is
to be expected II only from technical
causes. 1t was the short interest which
caused the opening spurt. The development
OF the growing demand to borrow stocks
In the local crowd last night revealed the
growth OF the short interest. and this morn
ing's reports OF large transfers Of certain
stocks Mt private sales which served TO eN-
tend over long interests caused fcar
among shorts that they were becoming
overextended.
Tht high level OF prices at the opening
proved inviting TO the traders who have
bought at the declines II became evident
also that the substantial buying which was
a feature yesterday was lost to the market
AZ the higher range Of prices For the rest
Of the day there was a crumbling process
which ended at the last with quite a sharp
break. 1t Is notable fact that heavy
transfers OF various stocks which are going
on give rise TO no further rumors Of poss
bic change Of control such ms affected near
~ every prominent stock a few months
ago II is obvious for all the selling OF
stocks that Is going on there are purchas
ers. This condition Is strongly in contrast
with that which set the financial powers 70

CHICAGO IRISH
HOLD MEETING

Chicago, June IA meeting Of
Irish-Amcricans of Chicago which
was held at the Auditorium last night
to protest against the coercion law in
force in nine counties of Ireland was
perhaps the largest demonstration of
its kind ever held in this city Bourke
Cochran was the principal speaker.
Special importance was attached to
MIR COcllran's words as he has only
recently returned from London where
he conferred with John Redmond and
other leaders of the Irish movement
He opened his address with the state
ment. Coercion, as applied to the
Irish people. is the exclusion of that
people from the exercise and enjoy
ment Of civilized government" The
speaker explained at length the meth
DDS adopted by England in governing
Ireland, claiming that every element.
airy law of humanity was denied the
Irish. His demand that this be
changed, he said, was based on jus
tico, and must be conceded sooner or
later He believed that Americans
can bring this about and made a
strong plea that protest be made
against the existing conditions
