Shorts Inclined to Cover

The action of the market yesterday
indicated that selling of some stocks
short interest was getting a little too
bulky in comparison with the floating
supply of the stock. A notable exam
pie was Crucible Steel, which, follow
ing the announcement that it was lend
ing at a premium of one-sixteenth, re-
bounded sharply from its low price Of
the day. American Sugar was another
example. The short interest in this
stock is said to be very large, and it is
understood that not only have profess
sional operators taken the short side,
but that the public, taking its cue
from the Generalization in the sugar
market, has also sold heavily for fall.

Holds Market Positions Strong

"The action Of the general stock
market" observed a prominent market
man yesterday, plainly reflects the
virtual completion of pressing liqui-
dation, and it indicates that weakened
speculative positions of individuals not
completely closed out are at least now
in friendly hands, where they will be
undisturbed for specified periods in
which definite recuperation of prop
critics of shares concerned may be
hoped. There are still indications that
the short account is large. This week
has suggested moderate renewal of
bearish activity on the part of some
prominent professional interests that
cleaned UP their outstanding contracts
in rather panicky fashion couple
of weeks ago. The bear account seems
to center in the steel shares"
The LulI in Bonds
The market in bonds is not nearly
as brisk as it was week ago. Bond
men describe it as having sort of
gone sour" for the moment. New
issues which were believed by distrib-
uting syndicates to have been we'll
placed have been coming back into the
market in disconcerting manner. A
breathing spell should be given the
market, many bond men say, to allow
for the digestion and assimilation of
the huge mass of new issues offered
since January /. The tightness of
money at this center has naturally
tended to slow UP bonds as we'll as
stocks.
