Tide Turned on t dati Seems rts and Ligui- weh Brighter, NEW YORK, Oct. 16—The bears were driven to cover their short contracta in the course of today's trading In the stock mar- ket and before the close were in something like a panic, hu‘In‘ in all directions in heavy volume. e early stages of the rise were viewed with apparent complacency by the large nnulnndm( short interests in the confidence it the rally would be un- important, as has proved to be the case 80 often of late. Their confidence reased by the factl Copper made but u feeble response yester- day and this morning to the dividend decla- ration, although the outstanding short | terest In that stock was believed to have ar(v'n to very large proportions. An actual lecline of 1 point In Reading second ferred on the declaration of its initial dend also polnted to the conclusion that §ood news was taken advantage of to Hquidate stocks. But the fact became very evident early today that the pressure of liquidation was aimost entireiy relaxed, Even the much enduring industrials were free from the recent indiscriminate sellin, and were suffered to hold up their hea l and make some scattering advances. The bears began to discover that In offering prices down they were not meeting their recent invariable success In dislodging sell- ing orders and inducing lquidation. ‘There were heavy portions of the market notwithstanding this general tendency, no- tably in the Pennsylvania group and the thracite carriers. The redauction in soft coal rates to the seaboard and reports of the closing down of additional anthracite mines we supposed to be the cause of this heaviness, but the suspicion grew that these stocks were depressed to facilitate covering in other parts of the list. Beyond the cessation of the persistent liquidation there was very little news to account for the turn in the market, Thers was a very favorabls statement of August earnings by Missouri Pacific, showing gross earnings for that month of upwards .of 000, an unprecedented figure, while lh‘ increase in nel earnings over 'inst year reached $206,000. com: ¥ll.t|on of earnings of over nlnety rallroads r August Indicates that their gain in net earnings over last year averages over 16 per cent. These ts may have played a part in inducing buying, although they h-vn been consistently ignored for some 1he reported contract of the United States Steel corporation for furnishing steel to a great shipbullding company in Great Britain wad also regarded as a promising development. The demands of lh:,;!:plfl].l of Manhattan falled to create Banks seem to have gained upwards of $1,000,000 of cash reserves for the week, 80 that another week's advance has been made without the development of the customary western demand for currency. The ar- rival at the mid-October season is felt to insure the ety of the corn crop, But While these factors may have alded in the recovery, the dominant factor evi- dently was an aggressive leadership of the market against the short interest, which was made successful by the cessa: tlon of liquidation, the banks having ap- parently completed a process of clearing gut undesirable collateral which they have been nursing for some time pas The rise of 3% points in United St Bteel preferred and of 3% points in Amal gamated Copper mflde those stocks the market leaders, although thers were somo less active stocks which showed some larger advances. In the usually prominent stocks there were general advances of 2 to 3 points and the market closed buoyant at_the t ared moderatel.
