NEW YORK. June 2o.-The
financial stew today contains
three ingredients that look like
an odd mixture:
1. A record short interest,"
borrowed stocks sold In belief
that prices are due 10 tumble.
2. First earnings reports for
the past six months showing
IN the main that profits con-
tinue 10 slide. while the number
Of firms emitting or cutting
dividends because Of II steadily
mounts.
3. A general and long rise
In stock prices-either In belief
that times are due 10 get better
or that more imitation Is In
evitable - followed by yester-
days decline.
The bears who are selling
short seem 10 take the earnings
decline more seriously than do
the bulls who apparently think
the profit squeeze is q tenn
porary thing and can be eased.
To sell short you borrow
stock In expectation Of buying
1t back later at q lower price.
II you do. you make q profit.
II you can't. you lose.
Last Friday. after five
straight months of rising, the
short interest on the big board
totaled 5.795.105 shares, IN
volving zoos Of the 1888 stock
issues listed, but representing
only -one-tenth Of l per cent
Of the total outstanding shares.
When the big board started
keeping records In May, 1881,
the short interest was 5,589, 100
shares. which ct that time was
04 per cent Of the much
smaller total Of shares listed.
Those selling short expect the
price TO drop before the mount
ing Federal deficit coupled with
q fresh wage-price rise can
spark q new burst Of imitation.
The earnings reports now
coming in comfort the bears
more than the bulls.
