The action of the market alarmed the short Interests and they bought extensively, giving an appear ance of great strength and animation to the trading. The initial price, however, ? roved to be the highest, as recent un avorable factors intruded themselves and the market lost about all it had gained. The . failure ot the bulls to follow up their advantage encouraged the bears to work dllgenlly to break prices, and by concentrating their selling sgalnst certain stocks In which special considerations operated the latter managed to bring about a general decline. The principal industrials, New York Central, Pennsylvania and Mis souri Pacific, were targets for this selling st intervals, with trade conditions and gossip as to expected dividend returns st- tending ths decline.
