were established, especially in the
Northwestern railroad group consider
ably above last night, and there was
liberal buying in New York for foreign
account soon after the trading began.
but there gains quickly disappeared
under the flood of liquidation, which
came into the market from all quar-
tiers. 1t was only by the vigorous
measures of support that the market
was saved from decentralization again
during the first hour. The chief fear
of speculative holders evidently was
the instability of the market, rather
than any actual developments affecting
values, and when the support had
demonstrated its effectiveness sufflci-
cnt assurance was impaired to dissi-
pate the urgent desire to SELL
The nervousness Of the market was
easily seen from the quick responsc
