early afternoon the ticker was more
than an hour behind the trading. which
went forward at pace equal to. If not
exceeding that of March &C. when the

was reached.
Rallies Short Lived.
Efforts of powerful banking, interests
to stay the tide of LIQUIDATION were un-
awaiting. A score of Important Shares
were bid I'D 3 to I3i% points at the
opening, but this only attracted renewed
selling and the gains swere more than
lost in short order. Leading issues, such
as United States Steel rallied little
from time to time, but failed to hold
their gains. Scores of issues dropped
from 5 to IS points and scores of new
lows for the year were recorded.
The almost perpendicular decline Of
last week, which was accompanied by
dull trading until Saturday, appeared
to have looSened a huge amount Of
weakly-held stocks, and the market
was submitted to drastic house clean.

ever, that there was large amount
of buying on scale down by bargain

predicted of late that it would take all

on substantial footing.

Call money renewed at per cent,
but soon dropped to 5 and went begging
at that figure. The days news in

acute weakness, and such shares as the

them.
