THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
SHORT SALE IS I EXPLAINED IN | EASY LANGUA6E Methods of Operation and Effects Shown by New Book. BY JOHN T. HAWKINS Timet Financial Edltar "Short selling.' What do the words imply to you? Do you picture a wild, ruthless individual trying to take away from you your job. striving to beat down the value of those ten shares of stock in your trunk? Or do you see another picture: The highly organized security and commodity ex- , change, where short selling is a I needed procedure, a vital necessity !to the stabilization of prices, the one thing that stands between you and the man who could depress prices to the vanishing point? Between these two extremes lies , a great expanse of thoughtful territory. Neither convey a true description of the short sale or its effects. The short selling bogey is one that always is with u£ sometimes dormant, as when prices are rising and business flourishing, but always there ready to spring out at the first sign of declining prices. All Details Explained With the wide spread public interest now aroused in short selling on the New York Stock Exchange as the incentive, the one man capable of giving a true picture of the cause and effect of the short sale has written a thorough and detailed analysis of the subject. J. Edward Meeker, economist to the New York Stock Exchange, in his book, "Short Selling." published by Harper and Brothers, explains in popular language every detail of this necessary operation in the purchase and sale of securities. Publication of this book is welcomed by The Times in that it provides* the answer to a series run ; in this paper on the ill effects of short selling. The book will be used as the basis of a short series showing the benefits to be derived from the use of the short sale. First we will take up the definition of a short sale. Sale Is Credit Operation A short sale is nothing but a sale which creates a debt in terms of goods. It is, in reality, a credit operation. In almost a|l lines of business it is customary to contract for the delivery of goods not immtaLately available to the seller. This is the principle of short selling. Automobiles regularly are sold to consum- : ers before they are delivered. The United States treasury dpartment ! often has sold its interest-bearing : notes in anticipation of future revenue receipts ~ ro m the federal income tax. On American stock exchanges a short sale is made in the following manner: The short seller authorizes the broker to sell 100 shares of stock short. The broker finds a buyer and sells him 100 shares of stock, delivery to be made the following day. Actual Stock Delivered The broker then borrows 100 shares of stock from someone who will lend it. The broker then delivers the stock to the buyer and in return receives the full amount of the purchase price. This money then is turned over to the man who loaned the stock, he paying the short seller interest on the money as the money rightfully belongs to the seller. The lender therefor gets the use of the money representing the value of his stock without having to sell his stock, for the reason that the short seller has to some time buy 100 shares of stock to replace that which he borrowed from the lender. In return the lender will give him back the money he used while the stock was loaned out. In the next of this series we will take up the reasons for the short sale.
In the Cotton Markets
ißv Thomson ic McKinnon) NEW YORK, April 28.—The market lost ground slowly this morning. Prices were reduced six points under Wednesday’s close by midday. The trade bought in a small way, but lower prices for i wheat and moderately lower securities furnished the locals with enough ammunition to stage a shell attack against prices. There was little or nothing in the way of southern selling. The weather map was clear, but the nights are too j cool for growth. A long position is suggested. CHICAGO —April 38 High. Low. Close.

WEAK ACTION CONTINUES IN WHEAT MART Corn Again Sets New Lows for the Season in All Deliveries. BV HAROLD F. RAINYILLB United Press SUIT C*rfespondet CHICAGO. April 29 —Wheat extended Thursday's loss another fraction as the Board of Trade opened today. Weakness in stocks and at Liverpool combined with continued liquidation in May to send wheat lower. Corn again set new lows for the reason :n all deliveries and at the. start May was within ha cent of the .lowest figure in thirty-four years. All deliveries cf rye and oats, except July in the latter, w:xe at new lows for the season on scattered selling in sympathy with wheat and com. Foreign Demand Slow At the opening wheat *as J 4 to *' cent lower and oats ’ to \ cent lower. Provisions were weak and lower. Liverpool was about as expected and showed l l * to 1\ cents lower at. mid-afternoon. The demand for wheat from Europe is restricted by the favorable crop reports from United States and Canada. Argentine shippers are anxious to market their supplies before the American crops come on the market, making an easy situation for the foreign buyers who remain indifferent. Better crop news and liquidation sent local prices downward Thursday. Weather Is Cloudy All deliveries of corn set new lows for the season again Thursday, with May nearing the record low of 29 cents set in 1898. Fanners also are selling heavily both corn and hogs in order to raise money to meet taxes due on May 1. The cash demand is much better, however. Interest in oats is not large owing: to the activity in the other Trains. Prices are low with September and December at new lows Thursday Chicago Grain Range —April 29WHEAT— Prf v. High.
