an extension of the short interest. This
seemed confirmed by the covering move
ment later on and the partial rally.
The market will naturally be sensitive
to any investigation Of exchange
methods, although the Street Is con-
fident that the disclosures will not be

gained "a and Reading " this additional
bettcrment coming in the noon hour, but
with no enlargement of buying. About
six stocks monopolized the first three
hours of the session.
Brokers recommend purchases on set
backs-few take the position that stocks
should be bought irrespective OF the re-
action.
