SLIGHT CHECK ON
DOWNWARD MOVE
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. A check
was made upon the downward move
ment of prices today after running
somewhat further" In the early part
of the day. The rebound today was
narrower than the downward reac
tion yesterday and the market be
came lethargic in the latter stages.
This narrowing of the swing of the
price movement Is usually a sign of
its apt condition of more or less
stable equilibrium which drifts with
feeble fluctuations until getting new
initiative from some fresh develop
ments in the sitaution. Such a per
iod of quietude would be welcomed
at the present by all the most import
ant interests concerned in the mar
ket. There was evidence' yesterday
and early today that professional op
erators were disposed to take ad
vantage of the neglected condition of
the market- to undertake bear tac
tics. Means seem to have been found
also to place an obstacle in the way
of these attempts.
