Vanderbilt Stocks Selected For Man
ipulation In the Stock Market.
New York, Sept. 2.-The character of to-
days stock market was very similar to
that of yesterday, Individual stocks be-
ing rushed to a high level to stimulate
and sustain the market, while realizing
was effected in other parts of the list.
The Vanderbilt stocks were selected to-
day for manipulation, and the price of
each member of the group was success
sively raised, while in the stocks recently
favorites in the speculation heavy offer
ings were made to realize. The success
of these tactics is shown by the small de-
cline in the general list. Coincident with
the buoyancy in tie VanderbIlts, the
grangers and the active railway list sank
to the lowest of the day. Later in the
day these stocks recovered somewhat
from the lowest and the Vanderbilt
stocks, except New York Central, de-
clined very materially from the highest
There We're other stocks which showed
special strength all through the list, es-
pecially among the industrials Closing
