WALL STREET REVIEW VIOLENT ADVANCES EARLY IN

After the heavy declines of the last two days. reassurtng re- ports this morning as to the adjustment of the troubles affecting some speculative accounts and the absence of pressure 1n the money market, the refusal of the market to stay up was something of a surprise. After consid- erable a reaction, involving the creation a matter of course of a large short interest, rally Is to be expected, If only from technical the opening spurt. The development of a grow ing demand to borrow stocks in the loan crowd last night reyesied , the growth or the ne large transfers of certain stocks at private sales whic hserved to extend over long inter were becoming over-extsnded The high level of prices at the opening proved inviting to It became evident also that the substantial buying which was a feature of yesterday was lost to the market at the higher range Of there was crumsing process, which ended at the last with quite sharp break. It is a notable fact that the heavy transfers Of various stocks which are going on give rise to no further rumors of possible change of con- trol, such affected nearly every prominent stock few months ago. Nevertheless, as is obvious for all the selling of stocks that is going on there purchasers. This condition Is in strong contrast with that which set
 
 to avoid the danger of leaving a railroad out over night picturesquely said by the most prominent financier in the country. At that time the competitive buying or the fear of 1t pushed prices up to unheard of figures. Where there was no such actual buying. in- sid"rs bid up the prices to discourage such buying. No more striking evidence could be found than the present indifference this account of the over-extended condition of hold ings and obligations. Capitalists embarked in fotations have all they can do to care for these, without making encroachments upon nrOnprttaS quence insiders view with equanimity the de- cline in prices of their properties In fact, it is strongly suspected that in than one their would be rivals for control are believed ing market Is calculated to precipitate such a portunity to consolidate their control. The fear of such measures of retaliation and of discipline between capitalists as the outgrowth of former encroachments upon their property Is effort to wrest control has not little to do with the timidity of operators coming into the market again and taking on new lines.
