Extreme weakness of the marltes
came as surprise. There was no
news 10 account for the renewed
fright but the movement OF prices
was convincing evidence Of the
timidity felt by security holders The
renewal of sensational proelamitions
through advertising mediums from
the same sources that proceedst the
successful raid of last week had 4
notable effect on the sentiment.
The sentiment changed later to the
extent that brokers advised theii eli.
ents 20 buy standard stocks. The si,-
uation was reversed In SO far that
early sellers were later buyers, Busi-
nessl which in the first hour at.
tained tremendous proportions, with
the tape from five to ten minutes be-
hind the market, fell OF abouf mid.
day During the noon hour the mar
ket showed brief periods Of extreme
dullness but the activity wds soon
resumed and by / o'clock heavy sell
ing movement was again on.
II became evident during the after
noon that the buying demand for
stocks was practically paralyzed be-
yond an occasional demand to cover
short contracts by traders on the bear
side of the market The throwing
over OF the stocks again became pre-
cipitate, causing rapid declines again
in prices.
