\ \ was fond of fancy waist
coats. His fa~stidiousness began and
ended with waistcoats. His trousers
and coats were invariably of the same
cloth and cut, summer and winter, year
in and year out. His waistcoats be-
trayed q catholic taste for color and
variety. Whenever he felt like in
dulging himself or celebrating a vic
tory or forgetting a defeat he went
out and bought a new waistcoat.

brought to Hewington Acres a bare
half dozen of them, and of these he

red dots in 1t. the other a white pique

should he wear for a Sunday morning
stroll in the garden? In the end he
tossed a quarter. The brown silk won,
much to his satisfaction, for he had a
newborn suspicion that the white one
made his waist line appear more rotund
than it really was.

FEvERIsH AND UNSETTLED.
Disposition OF the Large Short In
terests to Cover.

New York, July 1.-The action of the
stock market today was in accordance
with the usual symptoms following so
violent disturbance as of yesterday.
The mere fact of the arrest of the de-
cline relieved the market of weight
of forced liquidation through wiping
out of margins and uncovering of stop
loss orders.
The imminence of a triple holiday
interval emphasized the disposition of
the large short interest to cover, and
this constituted an important sustain
ing influence. There WIS perceptibIe
also. the operation of the usual sec
ondary causes in the re-selling of
stocks bought at the bottom prices
yesterday by lucky spectators eager
to secure quick profits or by banking
yesterday solely for the purpose of
checking Generalization and with no
desire to retain their holdings. Still
another class of selling came from
belated liquidation that had been car
ried through the break of yesterday to
save heavy sacrifice with the condition
of retirement at the first available
opportunity. In some cases this be-
lated liquidation had the appearance
of coming from dissolved pools of
considerable calibre. In response to
these varying factors the market had
its periods of feverishness and unset
tlement.
Aside from the buying by the shorts
there was not an aggressive demand
and the hesitation of the buying in
creased a s prices extended their recov-
cry On the other hand, the needs of
the bears still uncovered were indicat-
ed in raiding tactics on special stocks,
exemplified in sudden and violent de-
clines and immediate recoveries with
very little stock changing hands either
on the decline or the rebound.
The resumption of interest in the
more normal influences affecting val
ues was rather languid after the di-
version of attention by yesterdays
slump. The possibilities of changes in
holdings and influence in different
properties were canvassed in a vague
way, owing to the known policy of ag-
gression in the requirement of new
properties on the part of several con-
spicuous personalities
The large decrease in cash hold
ings of the New York banks estimated
for this week are due mostly to col
lection of the corporation tax to the
sub treasury, payments being made
through the New York banks by in
terror correspondents. The poor show
ing of the July condition of cotton in
the government report and the upturn
in the wheat market were little re-
garded in the stock market.
Bonds were firmer. Total sales, par
value, $2264.O00. United States bonds
were unchanged on call from last
week.
