QUIET ACCUMULATION.

During the past week there has
been quiet buying of several other
issues in which a fairly large short
interest is known to exist. Included
among these are General Asphalt, At
lantic Gulf Mexican Petroleum, and
Pan-American Petroleum.
Several traders, who refuse to con-
tinue to be pessimistic at what they
believe to be the bottom of the mar
ket have purchased these stocks.
Any real constructive news would
result in the running in of the bears
in short order, they state. They are
inclined to look for some good news
emanating from the new Administra-
ton.
Buying traced to a Southern resort
is reported to come from a prominen mt
trader who is generally supposed to
operate on the bear side, but who now
believes a substantial rally should
shortly be looked for.
