pool issues gave some further exciting
acrobatic stunts in today's stock mar
ket. Speculative interest was monopo-
lized by small group Of stocks most
all of which were generally known to
be under complete domination of pools
and speculative c!iques. Encouraged by
the big success of the organized drive
against the shorts in Mexican Petro-
lcum these various speculative combin-
ations pndcavored to repeat the per-
formance in their favoritcs. By reason
of the nervousness of the bear parry
from the severe punishment sustained
in the Mexican Petroleum hippodrome
they were quite successful.
These individual demonstrations FUR
nished lots of excitement but 1t was
noticeable again that the general list
did not follow. although the market
