Inoca Market Ne1s Stocks Bonds Commodities and Comment
Big Interests Are Blamed
For Bear '.Raids"

Is to IS times their earnings.
They have been persistently held
by investment trusts and large
financial interests, evidently in
the hope that their prices could
be maintained and that they
would come back without further
liquidation.
These interests do not care
much If the mass Of stocks that
the public holds are forced down.
They have not attacked bear
raids" while less prominent stocks
have declined. But now they find
that investors will not buy the
old leaders at present prices, and
the blue chips" are being liqui-
dated.
They are caught where the hair
is short and they protest indig-
nantly.
Why. this sudden interest IN
"rumors"? There have recently
been no more rumors than usual.
There are not half as many ru-
mors as there were when stocks
were being marked UP to unwar-
ranted levels! Then the public
was deluged with rumors of rner-
gers, split-ups, extra dividends,
ETC., etc. But there was no pro-
test. Nobody was put on the
carpet.
Professionals Hurt Now
"They" got the public into the
market. Then the public was
sold out. Now the professionals
and the big fellows who, bought
stocks at tLe s1ttom last Novem-
Der are left. They howl when
they are hurt.
We agreed that short selling is
necesSary-that it tends to make
a stronger technical position"
and to stabilize the m a k e t.
What's the matter with it now?
Nothing. The recent selling is
largely outright liquidation. There
is no more short selling now than
three or four weeks ago. The
trouble is that people are getting
tired of holding stocks that pay
per cent, and which don't go
up (because investors won't buy
them).
will Not Sponsor Prices
Apparently a large part of the
reported, action against the bears
is designed to convey the idea
| that prices are being depressed
''unwarrantably" The published
reports" say that someone (not
Specified) thinks that the lower
prices do not reflect market
values" They speak of needless
liquidation" and of improper
derangement" of the market.

VAN SWER|NGEN
HIT BY DROP

o. P. and M. j. Van Sweringen
have deposited with the Van
sweringen Corporation $4,000 ad-
ditional shares of Allegheny Cor
poration common stock, bringing
the total number of Allegheny
shares now held by the Van Swer-
ingen Corporation to 100000.
Even with the deposit of these
additional shares a deficiency ex-
lists in the Van Sweringen Cor
poration portfolio. This can be
repaid automatically if Allegheny
sells as high as 20 on or before
October 81. Otherwise the Van
Sweringens must deposit either
additional Allegheny shares or
other readily marketable securi-
ties in sufficient quantity to re-
pair the deficiency.
Deposit of additional shares Is
In accordance with the provisions
of trust indenture of the Van
Sweringen Corporation $30,OOO.-
600 five-year 6 per cent notes.
which were publicly offered in
April. The corporation at the
time of its formation acquired
500, 1000 shares Of Allegheny Cor
poration common.
The Van Sweringens agree d
that If at any time market value
of these Allegheny shares should
amount to less than so per cent
of the amount of outstanding
notes they would make available
additional readily marketable sc.
curities to the extent necessary
to make up such deficiency.
leghany Corporation was
formed early last year under
the sponsorship of j. P. Morgan
& Co. to hold stocks in Van
Sweringen controlled railroads.
It controls the Missouri Pacific
and Chesapeake Corporation, and
through the latter controls the
Chesapeake & Ohio and Pere
Marquette railroads. Large stock
holdings are held in Erie, Nickel
Plate and Wheeling & Lake Erie.
Allegheny hit a new low to-
day at 1873. 1t has sold as high
as 35A this year, and the range
last year was from a high of 56l2
to II in the autumn crash.
