Sometime. bit that II was being re-
paired as rapidly as possible he SAID

Usual After Results of Violent
Turn Appear.
REALIZING SALES ARE BIG
Substantial Reduction of Short Inter
est DIminishes Urgency Of Demand
and Makes It Less Easy for oppos-
ing Speculative Party to Bid Up.


! NEW YORK. July 2S.-The stock
market today showed the effects OF
the rapid pace at which the recovery
= has been going on from the acute de-
preston of the early part of the week.
The usual after results of n sudden
I and violent stuin in the market began
TO appear. The substantial reduction
Of the short interest diminished the
/ urgency Of the demand and made II
less easy for the opposing specqia-
tive party to bid up prices. The
more substantial demand from those
seeking 10 secure actual holdings or
stocks also fell away with the move
meDt OF prices away from the inviting
low prices which for the turn came.
| The recovery from that low point
has been SO extensive and so rapid
that attractive profits have secured
for hose who bought TO advantage.
/ The consequence WIS considerable
volume of realizing sales, which. win
the falling of in demand, affected
after the reaction.
The action of the market had the
inevitable effect of modifying specu-
lative operations of conditions In
themselves unchanged.
The determination to discontinue
dividends on the Atlas Portland Ce-
ment stock was used to- contest enc
rise in prices. The incident scarcely
lends itself TO supposition OF drain
ing business as the possession or
large contract with the government
for Panama canal supplies makes IL
necessary to divert resources for in
crease of capacity. AS an evidence
of the difficulty of enllsting new CAPT
tai in enterprise the incident has real
importance. The point is accentua'ed
by the persisting sluggishness of the
demand for bonds. in spite OF the
growing abundance of resources IN
the money market.
In special stocks the misgivings
over the maintenance Of dividends
were at work aga3n. A slump of eight
points in Sloss Sheffield Steel recalled
the Ma ional Lead dividend episode.
Preliminary estimates of the week
