SHORT INTEREST
ON THE DEFENSIVE
Further Substantial Recoveries
Were Made From the
Weeks Low Level

New York, Aug. 13.--In so far as tone
and bettcrment of prices were con q.
cerned, today's stock market gave n
good account Of itself. Prices worked
toward higher levels. resulting in fur.
ther substantial recoveries from the low
levels touched on Monday. In other
words, the greater part of the list since
the shakcdown at the opening Of the
week has virtually recovered all the lost
ground and the majority Of the active
leaders at the closing today stood close
to and above the final prices of last
weeks market.
Compared with the immediate pre-
ceding sessions. however, the general
| characteristics of the market disclosed
no essential change. Professionalism
continued the dominating factor Of the
trading and further belated covering of
shorts was in the main responsible for
the extension of the recovery move
ment. News developments and techni-
cal conditions combined again to in
| timdate the bear element and keeping
this element Of the trading contingent
constantly on the defensive.
The eyes Of the market remained cen +.
tered on the European situation, and
the hesitant and cautious attitude OF
the more influential interests indicated
the same disposition to hold aloof until
more definite results we're determined.
| The tension, to some extent. was les.
! sened by the reported official announce
mcnt Of the arrangement for an arms
| tice conference between the Russian and
| Polish representatives, which Is to begin
tomorrow. There was also tendency
TO view the conflicting policies Of Eng
land and France with less concern. In
truth, the more hopeful aspect of the
| NJ IL, ,,,Nr
firmed in the steadier foreign exchange
markets.
Call loan rae renamed comparatively
easy. The renewals were again fixed
at : per cent, and as today's loans carry
| over until Monday, the supplying of
accommodations at this rate was gen
orally considered favorable. The de-
mand. however. continued light in that
the bulk of the operations during the
day were supplied by the covering op-
erations Of the short interest rather
than rejecting appreciable widening of
interest on the constructive side.
There was little variation in prices
at the beginning of business, with the
exception of the chemical shares, which
were once more trotted out into the
limelight with the resurrection of the
reports Of the proposed merger of these
companies. These rumors have been
made to do service SO often in the past
that the majority of the street have be-
come Missourians on the subject.
After the initial dealings the entire
list started OF pick up strength and
the range of prices was carried consid-
erably higher during the morning. L.
s. Steel, Baldwin Locomotive, Crucible
Steel, Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies.
American Linseed, Reading. Southern
Pacific and Canadian Pacific were the
more prominent features. In all the ac-
tive shares, however, where undue pres
sure had been brought earlier in the
eating a concentration of effort against
the short interest.

Commodity Markets
GRAIN MARKET

Chicago. Aug. 13.-Announcement
that arrangements had been concluded
for an armistice conference between
Polish and Russian delegates, together
with drop in corn and reports that an
embargo had been placed on shipments
of grain to New Orleans and Calves
ton. caused liberal offerings OF wheat
today and broke the market after a
firm start.
II was said that elevators at New
Orleans were filed. and that there also
was congestion at Galveston because OF
the failure of vessels to arrive. There
are 1900 cars of wheat at Galveston,
with 1900 cars reported on the way.
Canadian Government estimates, put
ting the wheat crop of the Dominion
at 262 1855. 900 bushels, compared with
10S. 260 900 bushels last year, were
larger than had been expected.
Cash article premiums were | to 12
cents higher here, but exporters were
asking offers on yestPruay's basis. 1t
was said that about 800 900 bushels Of
wheat had been sold for export at all
ports in the last twenty four hours.
Offerings from the country were light
and shipme tnsfrOm Argentina small.
Trading in wheat for future delivery Is
scheduled 10 be resumed at Winnipeg
next Monday.
Corn was weak from the start be-
cause of rains over Illinois and other
parts Of the belt. Some buying was
stimulated by a report Of frost in north
crn Nebraska, but the demand was
soon filled up. Receipts remained small,
but any improvement in the car situa-
ton would accelerate the movement.
Prospects for this years crop we're
to be excellent, and it was asserted
that it would be sufficient to meet all
requirements. The accumulation at
terminal points remains small. Yellow
corn was cents higher and other grades
1 cent lower.
Oats recedrd in sympathy with the
either grains. There was some scattered
liquidation, prompted by frecr offerings
from the country. Outside support was
lacking.
The Canadian Government put the
Weld Of oats in the Dominion at 400, e
900 900 bushels, compared with 304, =
3S7 900 bushels in 1919.
Cash premiums were ~ TO l cent
