RAIDS MADE TO
AID SICK BEARS

NEW YORK, July 1.-The ac-
tion of the stock market was in
accordance with the usual symp-
toms following so violent dis
turbance as that of yesterday.
The mere fact of the arrest of
the decline relieved the market
of a weight of forced liquidation
through wiping out margins and
uncovering stop loss orders.
The immihence of triple 'hol-
iday interval emphasized the dis
position of the large short inter-
est to cover, and this constituted
an important sustaining influence.
There was. perceptible also the
operation of the usual secondary
causes in the reselling of stocks
bought at the bottom prices yes
terday by lucky spectators eager
to secure quick profits, or by
banking interests and insiders
who bought yesterday solely for
the purpose of checking demora-
lizatton and with no desire to re-
tain their holdings.
Still another class of selling
came from belated liquidation
that had been carried through the
break Of yesterday TO save heavy
sacrifice with the condition of re-
tirement at the first available op-
portunity.
Aside from the buying by the
shorts, there was not an aggres-
sive demand and the hesitation of
the buying increased as prices
extended their recovery. The
needs Of the bears still uncovered
were indicated in raiding tactics
on, special stocks.
The issuance of the call for the
condition OF the national banks
by the comptroller of the cur
rency was given additional inter-
est by the simultaneous call of
the New York banking depart
ment of the state banks and
trust companies. The statement
Of the condition of all the great
credit institutions on an identical
date is particularly illuminating
owing 10 the check on any shift
ing of accounts between them
which might disguise the real
8 condition.
There is no doubt that a syn
chronous report of all the credit
institutions throughout the coun-
try would be particularly valu-
able at this time, owing to the
suspicion Of extensive interest by
national banks indirectly through
operations of allied institutions
in the land speculation. The
present call from the comptroller,
coming fully three months after
the preceding call, represents an
unusually long interval
The large decrease in cash
s holdings Of the New York banks
estimated for this week are due
mostly to collections of the cor
} poration tax to the subtreasury,
I payments being made through the
! New York banks by interior COR
s porations. The poor showing of
s the July condition of cotton in the
; government report and the up
} turn in the wheat market was
little regarded in the stock mar
5 ket.
Bonds were firmer. Total sales,
! par value, $2,624 900.
United States bonds are un-
} changed on call from last week.
