A WILD TIME ON WALL STREET
An Attempt to Get Control of Rock

New York. N. Y.-One of the most

Thousands of shares changed hands
between those prices in wild
scramble of the shorts to get under
cover
In the meanwhile the rest of the
market, threatened with demoraliza-
ton, hesitated; stocks rose in SYM
pathy with the advance in Rock Island,
wavered uncertainty and then fell.
Before they could decline seriously,
however, it was recognized that the
movement in Rock Island was under
control, and SO the market in general
was saved from the threatened danger.
All sorts of reports were circulated
in the street to account for the extra
ordinary and mysterious move in Rock
Island, and while most of them were
plausible. none appeared in itself ade-
quate to explain the rapidity and scope
of the precipitate rise and fall. 1t
was believed that London was the
principal sufferer at first, as it is a
matter of common knowledge that
London has been selling calls on the
stock for several weeks past and has
been selling the stock itself short.
