MARKET RAIDERS,
FACING EXPOSURE,
RUSH FOR COVER
Stock Exchange Publicity Rule
RoutS Short Sellers and
Prices Jump.

Spectators and INSCRIPTIONS bear
raiders who have been endeavoring
to manipulate security prices down
10. ruinous levels rushed TO cover
to-day in fear OF the new order OF
Stock Exchange governors requiring
lists OF short sellers TO be filed daily
So great was the anxiety to aban-
don former tactics that the first flf-
teen minutes OF the Exchange session
developed n boost OF prices more
marked than the slump nipulated
on the previous day. The rush for
ward ran far beyond the detectives.
which soon necessitated a falling
back to more reasonable levels.
Prices jumped from three TO eight
points at the start. The floor OF the
Exchange was a bedlam OF brokers
struggling TO buy as the shorts as
sembled to cover their commitments.
Whatever the causes back of the
persistent short selling OF the past
few weeks. and whatever the inspira-
tion for cumulative pounding down OF
prices far beyond the point OF or
dlnary 1uctuation, the action OF the
Exchange served to scare "the specu-
lators who were endeavoring to sell
the United States short" as one
financier expressed II.
Names OF purely speculative short
sellers and the amounts OF their
transactions will not be made public
unless considered necessary, but ac-
cording to formal notice sent out by
the Exchange statements should be
promptly sent to the Clearing House
before IL o'clock to day and each day
hereafter"
The opening OF the market pro-
duced extreme fluctuations on a ris- =
ing scale. Trades in United States
Steel Common, for example. started
with 10000 shares at prices ranging
from 81 to ss 1-2. which latter figure
was 4 SIS points above last nights
closing. Practically every active
stock on the list showed marked
gains.
After an hour OF excitement the
stock market settled down into a Arm
| and steady position with trading fall
| ing OF to small volume. Despite bad
news from Italy and Russia, there
were no more slumps in stock prices.
! The whole list held a level ,from two
TO Ave points above last nights
closing.
j. Frank Howell. President OF the
Consolidated Stock Exchange. said to-
day:
1T Is well at this time TO cali at
tention TO the fact that the trading
with the enemy act approved by
President Wilson is equally applicable
| TO stock brokers az to others. Those
who may not be familiar with this
law will do well TO read the same and
govern themselves accordingly. 4
committee will be appointed charged
with the duty OF watching orders as
they are executed and any sales that
may attract the committees atten.
tion, will meet with rigorous as wei
as appropriate action.
There Is no justification for tho
present unsettlement in market con.
ditions and | am sure such would moi
maintain were less attention given tC
rumors that lack thoughtful consid.
eration and fall little short OF
sedition."

colossal migration. The only wonder
Ia that the great army has been able
to withdraw at all and establish itself
along the new line OF defense.
Many heartrending scenes were
witnessed along the route as the tor
rental rain and the vast zone Of
mud Increased the misery Of the NOV
ing multitude. Food was scarce and
many went without for days, while
sleep was impossible as the throng
trudged westward. The military hos
pitals were evacuated. together with
all other establiehments, and pale and
wounded patients were Obliged to join
in the rearguard march or fall into
the hands OF the enemy The road
ways were strewn with dead horses.
