The bear attack on New England stocks faltered as Sugar common and Cordage fell briefly then recovered. Reports linked Wash’ Connor and White to shorts, Henry Clews led the bear raid, and Railroads barely declined. Boston Sugar closed near 128 14, Cordage drifted around 48, and Chicago Burlington at 98 to 99. A cautious note on Atchison, strong home roads, and a potential upturn amid easy money and rising shorts. Local money and sterling remain steady as traders eye a subsequent bull move.
