Chicago Great Western issues were some
thing of a feature. especially when, at
the end Of the first half hour, tie pre-
ferred B shares dropped three points IN a
few minutes. None Of the transactions
that caused the decline was Of larger
than 100 shares each, sue
cessive sales being half a point lower
than the preceding one. Generally, when
a stock drops from 15ia % l2i2, without
any support. there is reason. The only
one heard in this instance was that the
statement Of earnings for the nine
months ended March 81 was not good. but
there was probably the added factor that
some bear interests had utilized this
stock to make II appear that there were
still weak spots In the market
About the only argument heard al any
time during the day In favor of an adj
vance Of the market was that the snort
interest was of unusually large proper
tions. This certainly was borne out by
the borrowing demand, which kept on
increasing not only In the amount Of
stock wanted 10y individual brokers or
brokerage houses, but in the actual NUM-
Der of borrowers. II the demand really
represented a short interest rather than
borrowing against sales Of real stock, de-
llveries 10 bc made later, the technical
position Of the market is getting into
strong shape in the completion Of liquida-
tion. and may lea the bears IN an un-
pleasant position. There is Of course.
some doubt on this, but making the most
liberal allowance for the proportion Of the
borrowing that does not represent the
requirements Of the bears there can be
no question that the short interest is
large.
