viucc,l Of the reasons for the movement
IN the market, and in an interview had
1his 10 say:
Wall street is discounting. as il al
ways does. events that may be termed
.ventualitfes of the future Big financial
interests believe that the end Of the Euro
pean war is not FAR distant and are back
ing their views by large purchases of Sc
curities. Furthermore. they believe that
the presidential election next year will
return the 'ti. o. p to power. and they
are acting on this belief. while at the
same time giving heed TO the proba ability
that the present administration, with q
realizing sense of conditions. will do moth
jng 10 prevent recovery of business. in the
lope OF sufficient prosperity to perpetuate
their control on the government.
THE big boom in Bethlehem Steel
shares, and especially in the common
stock. was not manipulated by any one
interest. There is such a comparative
standing that the bears simply sold
themselves to standstill
''Schwah. Carnegie. Frick and other
former Carnegie people hold the great
majority OF the shares. They have not
actually stood back of the wild specu
lation. but they have looked on with
much interest. They were perfectly
willing 10 lend their stock to the bears
to make deliveries on their short con-
tracts. but when they found that prices
advanced and that it was next to i'm
possible TO buy the stock to replace
the borrowed shares. they became
anic-stricken and made such strenu-
efforts 10 cover their shorts that
they precipitated a bear panic and the
resultant advance in prices.
