STOCK MARKET
FEELS WORST
HASPASSED

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, July Is d.N.S0.
Twas a happier day for the boys
yesterday as the markets started
back on the sunshine trail. The
feeling is fairly general that the
worst has been seen. but this
should not inspire premature
action. While the trend for the
pull is bullish, there is certain to
be a lot of stock for sale as a
result of the difficulties Of some
Of the pools and big traders.
So new buying should be held
off until the market quietS down
and the liquidation is over.
From a trading point of view,
a secondary reaction is likely in
the next few days, and we would
be inclined to get back to the
SidelineS on further strength to
see how far the Sell-off goes. Our
idea is that market strategy from
now on will be to nurse in a
short interest, which will be used
as a springboard for the next
major rise.
Rumor says that those worst
hit last week were group known
as the three C's. Their holdings
about a week ago were placed at
60, 100000 bushels of grain and
somewhere around !, 100000 shares
of various stocks. They must
have had fabulous profits at one
time. Numerous pools were taken
over by the banks in the last
couple of days, according to
street gossip.
U. s. Smelling gets the gold
lined Whiskbroom. It made a new
high for the year yesterday. This
was one of the few curious de-
velopments of the rebound.
