become established facts. But op-
orators who had been following the
constructive side OF the market and
who are looking forward to q
larger forward movement running
into the summer months seemed to
think 1t unwise to have that rise
started from such an insecure level
as that which existed at the close
last Thursday. The short interest
had been eliminated to a much
greater degree than participation
by the outside public had been
aroused. In otherN words the mar
ket was deprived of a large eie-
ment of support through the clos
ing OF short Contracts and had
benehted by q proportionately much
smaller factor of support from out
side buying. Renewed short SELL
ing, starting on Friday and con-
tfnuing through today's session
contributed much. to the reaction.
/. While the industrials as a whole
were weak. tape readers paying too
much attention to the selling of
motor and tire stock prices must
have gained an exaggerated idea of
the real extent of the decline.
These two classes were under Sc
we're selling pressure and It was
here that operators returning to the
short side found the best foothold.
What has happened in the motor
and tire industries within the past
few days could have been foreseen
clearly enough IL the speculative
vision had not been obscured by a
preponderance of bullish factors.
The car and tire cuts announced
within the past few days were
foreshadowed over q week ago. In
some quarters there was noted to-
day complete reversal of the
Streets bullish attitude. toward
these two classes of stocks. To-
days declines in the motor and tire
stocks. added to Saturdays net
