Resumption of aggressive operations by the short Inter est in speculative shares, which figured In the recent advance, doubtless accounted to an extent for the heavy to weak trend of s-.ock prices today. Early quotations were downward, with Intermittent rallies before noon. These were generally canceled later. Lowest prices ruled In the last half hour. I when selling of the better known equip ments, steeis. motors and shippings su plemehted the extensive llquidstion of speculative favorites. Sharp reactions marked the active finish. Sales were 875, 0OM shares. Call loans opened st 6 per cent, prob ably as a result of renewed offerings out side of the exchange at 5 and even 4M per cent. The esppiy of time money at 6H per cent also Increased. Specific reasons attached to the re veres, in certain Issues, auch as sugars and Wilson Packing, which reflected more adverse trade conditions. Domestic and foreign war flotations were materially lower in the bond mar ket. Total sales, par value, $14,675,000. Old United States government bonds were unchanged on call.
