Those operators who are strongly com
mitted to the bear side of the market
predicted on Wednesday a sharp break
In stocks as soon as the Hendricks
report upon the Equitable would be
published. They realized yesterday
that their prediction had ,.Iscarried.
These overtrustful bears. it would seem,
had failed to allow for the growth OF
optimistic sentiment consequent upon
three days of uninterrupted advancing
prices nor did they reckon upon the gen
eral acceptance by the public OF the re-
port as a significant intimation that the
affairs of the Equitable were being close
~ watched. and that no further juggling
with the policyholders money would be
tolerated.
The marked increase IN the volume of
commission business which the day wit
messed would appear to have been due TO
very general realization that with the
publication of Superintendent Hendricks
report the Equitable has passed from the
scene as an acutely depressing influence
upon the market. AS long as the report
was prospective. speculation ran riot as
to Its probable tone. and this in itself
served as potent influence in unsettling
values. The fact that Superintendent
Hendricks report has failed to disclose
the slightest impairment of the societys
enormous surplus should be accepted by
the policyholders as it was accepted by
Wall Street yesterday. as an assurance
that notl..no of this kind exists and that
the Equitable stands today as ffna ncially
impregnable as at any time in Its past
history. Indeed, ii Superintendent Hen
bricks views be sustained by the courts,
the society is financially stronger today
than 1T ever was, and the surplus Is IN
reality greater than the figures that
the last annual report disclosed. that Is,
if Mr.. Hendricks theory be correct and
the amount realized In the syndicate
operations go to swell the gigantic sur
plus.

SOME PRICES CARRIED HIGH

NEW YORK, June %. = During the
first hour the trading on the stock mar
ket had the swing of an old-time bull
market. Buying orders for large blocks
were put in many stocks, and, although
the supply was larger than at any time
since the beginning of the week, the de-
mand continued large enough to absorb
all stocks offered around current quota
lions. In several issues prices were car
ried to the highest range reached in
long period. Pennsylvania sold at 140.
Reading at 9S, and Rock Island at 30ss.
Wassermann Brothers bought 5000
shares of Reading
Arbitrage brokers sold fully 10000
shares of stock during the first hour,
and the supply of stock from this source
helped hold the international shares in
check although it did not cause any
material decline. The impression per-
walls that the market will reach higher
