NEW YORK, March 26.-A complete
reversal of sentiment from the de-3

trading In the stock market Although.
London prices We're lower this morn
ing, the New York exchange soon after.
the opening showed a much stronger
tone than for some time past and
quotations We're advanced sharply on
very heavy buying. The bears began
to retreat on rumors that further gov
Iernment assistance for the money mar
ket was Imminent, and when the for
NAL announcement came from WASH
ington that such assistance was to be
given the shorts began to cover up
their outstanding contracts. at tho
same time there was a renewal of pur-
chases for investment.
The result. was an upward turn In
prices that was almost@us sensational
as was the sharp decline OF yesterday.
The trading was wild and excited as
the bears sought to cover, and before
noon stocks were selling at from one
to six points higher than tho low
points of the earlier trading.
Accompanying the upward move
ment was an industriously circulated
rumor that an enormous pool had been
formed by tho greatest banking
houses In Wall Street to support
prices. This report, which was with
out confirmation, and which was rath-
er deprecated by conservative broker
age firms. made 1t appear that $780,
100000 had been subscribed by bank
crs to buy stocks with the object OF
putting a stop to the recent precipi-
tate declines. Nothing whatever de-
