When the great Anderson estate
went into court for settlement, ''there
wasn't any," George Anderson said
that Is, when the settlement was con-
cluded there was no estate. He re-
preached himself bitterly for not hav-
ing long ago discovered that his fa-
Their had never given Isabel a deed to
her house. "And those pigs, Sydney
and Amelia!" he added, for this was
another thing he was bitter about.

a polished refusal. The estate was bad

that hts health would suffer, and he
had been downtown only in a closed
carriage. He had not realized the
great change.
The streets were thunderous, a vast
energy heaved under the universal
coating of dinginess. George walked
through the begrimed crowds Of hur-
rying strangers and saw no face that
he remembered. Great numbers OF
faces were even of a kind he did not
remember ever to have seen; they
were partly like the old type that
his boyhood knew, and partly like
types he knew abroad. He saw Ger
man eyes with American wrinkles at
their corners: he saw Irish eyes and
Neapolitan eyes. Roman eyes, Tuscan
eyes, eyes of Lombardy, of Savoy,
Hungarian eyes, Balkan eyes, Scandi-
navian eyes-all with queer Ameri-
can look in them. He saw Jews who
were no longer German or Russian or
Polish Jews. All the people were soil
ed by the smOke-lnist through which
they hurried, under the heavy sky that
hung close upon the new skyscrapers,
and nearly all seemed harried by
something impending, though here and
there a woman with bundles would be
laughing to a companion about some
adventure of the department store, or
perhaps an escape from the charging
traffic of the streets--and not fnfre-
quently a girl, or free-and-eaSy
young matron, found time to throw an
encouraging look to George.
He took no note Of these. and, leav-
ing the crowded sidewalks. turned

Shorts Finding Situation
Dangerous, Run to Cover.
Gains General.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, August 26.-What
happened in the market today was
merely the logical sequel of the
change in the inside position which
has been noticed for the last fortnight
and especially for the last week.
When bull movement which has
been running for months draws near
Its elimination the optimism of the
public Is sustained by pushing up in
diyidual stocks so as to conceal the
fact that the main forward tendency
has been checked.
Moreover, by making prominent
these special points of strength at
tention is drawn away from the
distributiye sales going on in the
general list. Precisely the inverse
of these features is characteristic of a
market at the bottom of a prolonged
decline
Bearish sentiment is fostered by
focusing attention on the weaknss
of individual issues. This weakness
in special groups serves the desired
purpose of furnishing a cover for
the retreat of the short interest else
where.
Important buying of stocks was go
ing on while the professional element
and the rank and file Of the street
were intensely bearish. The result
WAS that the short account became
day, the whole effort of operators for
the decline was to disentangie them
selves from a position which they
perceived had become untenable.
Prices Advance Easily.
The feature again this morning was
the ease with which prices went up.
IT was not until the speculative lead

became anywhere near sufficient to
satisfy the demand for covering pur-
poses.
Mexican Petroleum.
The short interest in the Mexican oil
group, which includes, in addition to
Mexican Petroleum. Pan-American and
Pan-American Is, was given d severe
drubbing in today's market. All of
very opening buying, the character of
which was termed as the very best"
This buying by insiders and those
close to the inside was based on the
report that the Mexican Petroleum Com
pany had Just completed deal which
will put ii and the Pan-American Com
pany at the head of the oil companies
of the world. The details of this deal
are expected to be announced almost any
day.
Closing Strong.
Those who attributed the upturn to
nothing more than short coverings,
however, and who figured out that
prices would come off after a moderate
rally, found their calculations upset
by the consistency with which the rise
was maintained. There came a lull in
the early afternoon which, had the
early advance been wholly dependent
upon the short interest, would natural
ly have been followed by setback
Instead, the best prices Of the day
were made. as rule, in the last hour.
