The Evening World invites readers whe have “been victimized by stock owin- “ dlers or bucket-shops to send in @n account of their experiences, Communications should be ad- parecsed to the Financial Editer, “Names of correspondents will net s be used without permission. ‘The headlong bull movement that was been under way in the stock mar- | ket for a number of weeks received a Bromounced check to-day, although Public purchases were again on a heavy scale, glarge operators and floor traders upplied stocks freely from the open- ing on through the entire session and many of the retent favorite specula- tive issues showed declines df from 4 to 5 points. Money market conditions and fear that banks wi!l further tighten their Purse strings in an endeavor to dis- eOurage further indiscriminate buy- ihg was the cause of much profit taking. However, certain of the jarg- er operators have formed the opin- jon that the market's inside iposition as become unhealthy; that it is vir- tually ‘honeycombed with stop-loss orders and that a substantial reac- tion is needed before the upward trend can be resumed. Call rates for money to-day gen- erally ruled at 61-2 per cent. for mixed collateral, compared with 71-2 per cent. just before the close yes- terday, but the lower quotation did not reflect diminished fear on the part of professionals that higher money rates are in prospect. Tire, rubber, motor and shipping shares showed the least resistance to profit-taking. Kelly-Springfield sold off 6 points, Ajax Tire 4 points, Chandler Motor 4 points, Atlantic Gulf 3 points and General Motors heariy 4 points. These are some of the stocks that banks do not con- sider highly desirable collateral in loans at the mnt time. ere the real bright spots of the market, and held strong despite the wave of selling through- out most of the remainder of the list. Interboro preferred gained 4 pointe, Brooklyn Rapid ‘Transit more than 2 points and Interboro 41-3 bonds were strong in sympathy with the stock, gaining about 2 points. There is no known new ‘development in the traction situation to account for the recent marked strength of these issues. The fluctuations of steel stocks and United States steel in particular were closely watched. These issues made a brave showing at the open- ing with United States Stee! selling up to a new high for the present Movement at 1041-2, but with the rest of the steel issues could not suc- cessfully withstand the large volume, of profit taking and late in the ses- sion broke below 103, Rails moved irregularly and failed to command the interest displayed in them recently, The major part of the speculative element’ seem disposed to await more constructive develop- ments in the railroad situation before accumulating a line of these stocks. Profit taking continued to the end of the session and the, undertone at the close was inclined to weakness, A general unloading of stocks by pro- fessionals became more pronounced. Considerable interest again at- tached to the foreign exchange mar- ket because of renewed weakness of English, French and Italian exchange, francs and lire quotations away sharply. However, on stock market negligible. the effect movements was Disregarding the warnings of con- servative brokerage houses that ex- treme caution should now be used in purchasing stocks, the general specu- lative public is in the market on a larger scale than at any time since 1906.

It now seems to be the general expectation | that there will. be a succession of 2,000,000 share da: One reason why the warnings of brokers are being disregarded is that they have misjudged trend for several weeks, They were of the opinion that the only way to Judge the future is by the past. They could not conceive of a market bri ing all precedent and rising perpen- dicularly without a reaction. Yet such has been the case, for since the bull movement w: first initiated thirteen weeks ago prices have dis- regarded ail unfavorable news and have steadily pursued an upward course, The closest parallel to the present bull movement was the war boom of 1916, but in that market there were violent reactions from time to time, | It has tong been popular belief that markets are made and unmade by big | insiders,” by bankers and the most powerful operators of Wall Street. |The fallacy *of this belief is being Proved in the present instance, It is true that the bull movgment had its Inception with bull cliques that at- tracted much attention by sharply bidding up'the prices of their special- ties. But the public have now taken complete charge. It is known to be @ fact that in a number of cases the so-called insiders some time ago ar- rived at the opinion that the ull movement had reached its apex and sold out their stocks in the expecta- tion that they would be able to re- purchase lower down. Not having falling| #ccurately gauged the increased pub- lic appetita for stocks, they have been forced to buy in their issues at figures substantially higher than those at which they sold them. Ordinarily an effective way to check headlong public speculation is for banks to increase their margin requirements on loans and for commission houses in turn to increase their margin requirements against the purchase of stocks. Commission houses have been in- creasing their margin requirements until, in a great number of cases it is necessary to put up from 26 per cent. to 30 per cent. of the purchas: price of a stock in order to have a buying order executed. But pubiic power has not been appreciably af- fected, ‘The money market is beginning ‘o show the first signs of strain result- ing from the bull speculation.
