what the Big Fellows want.

According to gossip in Wall Street. the
big people in the stock market have
been desirous IN the last three or four
days of seeing stocks go down little.
but the market hasn't paid great deal
or attention to their desires. Their rea-
sons, according to the gossip. arc that
they have been successful in their opera :
tions and would like to see what thcy
term healthy shakeout before getting
into action once more. On the other
hand II is declared in banking quarters
that che pools are faced with a peculiar
situation. They have been able to put
stocks up at will. but have not found
any great number OF public buyers. For
that reason they are up against the
problem OF putting them higher against
the shorts. who constitute the principal
buying power in the market. and thus.
perhaps. encourage the public to get in.
or let them slip back and encourage the
shorts into still further selling.
