in today's market than it has been for
several weeks, and got the ascendant
for q time over the large bull contingent.
THE desire of some of the very heavy
operators in the bun party to realize
profits was itself source of weak
ness. But the bears made most capital
cut of the yellow fever outbreak in
Mississippi The stocks of roads which
traverse tine reg.0n immediately in
fected, notably Louisville & Nashville.
were most keenly affected, the whole
market going off in sympathy With the
weight of heavy realizing sales These
incidents somewhat interfered With tne
plan of operations of the bulbs, which
was not essentially different from that
pursued each day last week The stock
selected today for putting up in order
to sustain the rest of the market was
Northern Pacific. This stock has not
shared in the recent Improvement IN
prices, owing to the poor showing of
the earnings made in the weekly and
monthly reports of the company; but
the apparent weakness in the earnings
power of the company was dISregaTded
today, AMI the price of the preferred
stock was raised by manipulation four
points, and that of the common stock
last week was preceded each day by
the circulation in the street of a til"
as to which stock was to be pushed up
during the day. This policy was par
sued also today, With the effect of stim-
utating speculation in the stock named
and aiding the bulls plans They we're
also assisted today by a hveli'er specu-
latiye interest on the part of London
than has been manifested since the
pregani. rtsa in prices.
Prices were higher in London before
the change here, and buying for London
account was. quite a prominent. factor
during the day, London bought about
10000 shares.
The orders which had accurnula ted in
commission house offices over the
double holiday. were also effective at
the opening in helping to rush up
prices. The heavy sales to realize. how
ever, and the yellow fever sentiment,
soon put a stop to the upward move
Ine1t and the market decreased for
most of the balance Of the day below
Saturdays close, the decline from the
opening high point exceeding point
in nany prominent shares Sugar
moved in an erratie manner all day
over a range of 21a points. showing
strength for the most part. The pre-
ferred stock rose %. The industrial
