Supporting Orders Develop.

Later close observers of market con-
ditions quickly detected supporting
orders here and there throughout the
list, first in rails and then in industrals.
The bears We're as quick to notice ii
as any one and they helped a mod
crate recovery by covering moderately
for a second recovery before the end
of the first hour of the session.
Old traders declared that the sup
port was by no means urgent; that it
failed to follow up the recoveries and
was apparently for steadying purpose
only: but the line of outstanding shorts
is so large that any united effort to
cover would have been followed by
rather sensational advances, this. too,
despite the claims of some operators
that shorts had covered over Labor day
adjournment.
There are shorts operating today
that have not covered for days. some
for weeks. and their profits are large.
Money is high and but small chance
of normal rates in the imm ediate flu
ture. Russia is menace and the street
is nervous over price-fXing and other
legislation, although the break in
values would seem to have discounted
probabilities.
Old time bull effort has ceased-the
public is out. Spectators are on the
bear side.
