COMMENT ON MARkET.

G. Bowie Chipman. Of F. r. Chapman
& Co.-"At the opening to-day prices
were steady, and then a selling movement
set in which lasted for about three hours
and carried the list from 20 IL points
below Saturdays closing At the begin
ming OF the fourth hour the market turned
and then began a violent upward move
ment, which carried the leaders 10 the
highest prices on this recovery. Almost
the entire list closed with substantial
gains. but the advances were particularly
rapid IN Reading. the Hill stocks. Smell
ters and the United States Steels- A
movement took place which had long been
absent; that is. an advance in the lower
priced railway stocks. I am again per
suaded that during the last two hours to-
day very substantial sales were made by
the best houses in the Street, and that
almost all the buying was in the nature
OF short covering How much further
prices must 90 before the short interest
is satisfied Is. Of course. an unknown
question, but / cannot see how material
reaction can be much longer deferred"
Benjamin Woodruff. Of Post & Flagg-
The bears, who have had such an easy
thing Of il for the past year by follow
ing the old rule OF selling short on every
rally. met with a severe day OF reckoning
to-day. Seeing that the advance had been
extremely rapid: that the Presidents
message was due tomorrow. and that the
bank statement on Saturday was disap-
pointing, they naturally inferred that
prices would be weaker and the market
reacuOnary to-day. On this theory there
was profit taking and short selling. Cn
the decline which set n soon after the
opening apparently some Of the bull In
terests put in supporting orders. FOR in
the afternoon the market took wings and
sailed upward as il has not done for
many long day. Naturally such an ad-
vance was accompanied BY urgent short
covering, and as the cash buying in the
last SIX weeks has been very large stocks
were scarce and the buying by the shorts
accentuated the upward movement con-
siderably. There Is no doubt that a real
bull market is absolutely impossible the
question being merely how large the short
interest is and how maay people must
cover their commitments II this could
be learned II would be easy 20 predict
when the turn viii arrive and the present
rally culminate.
