Announcement made by Secretary Cortel- you that he bad decided to Issue only $25,- (100,000 Panama bond* Instead of $50,tt)0,000, and allotments of 8 per cent one-year gov ernment certificates of Indebtedness would not exceed $16,000,000 instead of $100,000,000. Them* announcements are construed as fa vorable und should go h long wav toward restoring confidence in the financial situs* tlon. Tue continued advance offered good opportunity to realize. There Is more hope of s favorable bank statement today. Early trading will probably show ’further recessions, but look fok a recovery beforo Bearish efforts concentrated on Smelters, Rending and Uufou Pacific. The selling generally was attributed to uptown clique, aa It had been advertised they would attack tho market today.

New York Financial Bureau: Develop ments this morning point to Irregularity In the stock market today. A general reaction Is about due. It may be postponed until the early part of next week. The technical position shows heavy realizing on bulging. It depends whether or not the shortage Is still large enough to take this as to con- tinned bullish work. The banking Inter ests are averse to any bull movement, but not to a recovery. It Is not likely that a general reaction would be excessive, for liquidation is certainly under control now, lint n recession of 4 or 5 points in the ac tives would Improve the list.

On bulging toward the upper levels profession als are selling with small stops. Htock Is also reported on bulges In Brooklyn Rapid Transit toward 4ft. Pennsylvania 116, Lend 44 and Missouri Pacific 56. The room sells them. Southern Pacific nnd the Steels seem to be the only Issuea now showing n maintained upward tendency, and they aro likely to re act In cose of further bullish work.
