To-day brought the first decided reaction for
some time. Stocks were weak almost from
the opening, the only notable exception being
Western Union, in which there was small
squeeze in the first hour, but stop orders
for the short account soon checked
the rise, and later selling by insiders
brought the price back to opening figures.
There were more "bear" rumors on the street
than for long time past, and the passenger
rate war in the Northwest, according to re-
ports looms up into large proportions ana
from all accounts is extending to freight
rates with little or no prospect of settlement.
The remarkable weakness in Lackawanna is
attributed to manipulation. The market
opened strong generally % to d per cent.

Western Union was down u per cent. Prices
began to decline Immediately after the open
ing except in Western Union, which advanced
sharply during the first hour, but later joined

considerable feverishness characterized the
dealings and there were frequent small
rallies which were almost invariably followed
by larger declines, and the lowest prices of
the day were generally reached in
the last hour, final prices being
at or near the lowest of the day, the mark ct

NEW YORK. June 21.-The stock market
was active to-day, and the tendency Of prices
was in most instances in favor OF the bears.
Rumors were circulated that the rate war in
the Northwest was very serious, and that
freight rates were liable to go down at any
moment unless some settlement was made.
1t was also reported that the coal trade was
in d bad way and points were given out to
sell the stocks, particularly Lackawanna, for
big break. These reports induced free sell
ing, both Of long and short stocks, and made
the tone of the market very feyerish. Lack
awanna declined q point, but Delaware & Hud-
son and Reading were remarkably strong. The
Changers were steady early, but the heavy
selling of long stock caused q break about
noon, st. Paul leading the decline as some
days ago it had the advance. The sales to
noon were 191, 635 shares, Of which AZ, 400
were Lackawanna. Omaha earnings for the
second week of June increased $1,000. The
feature OF the market towards the close was
d sharp break in Lake Shore on the report
that the switcbmen were going out on a
strike. 1t was said that the Lake Shore COM
pany had failed to discharge its non-uniou
employees, as demanded by the strikers some
time ago, and the switchmen, it was reported,
had concluded to enforce their demands.
by ordering a general strike. Lackawanna
was heavily sold by S. V. White and by the
New York Life Insurance company, the latter
unloading 10000 shares of long stock. Rumors
were thick that rates on the Granger roads
were cut, but these dispatches were not gen.
orally believed and had very little effect.
Realizing throughout the entire list however,
was heavy, and together with large selling by
Commack and his following caused decided
break in the general market. Closing prices
were the lowest OF the day.
