New York, June i3.-The slump in N
stock market to-day was a surprise to
most speculative observers who looked for
an advance in prices after the apparent
abandonment Of last weeks persistent at
tempt to secure q reaction. The underiy-
Ing cause Of to-day's violent decline was
not very clear and many suggested solu-
ions Of the pussle found currency. eu-
pernciaIiy there was evident some SYM
pathy with the dropping out Of the bot
tom in the wheat market and there were
very heavy sales Of securities on the New
York exchange on telegraphic orders from

A decline In the price Of wheat does not
necessarily imply harm to railroad prop

decline In wheat as that of to-day
arouses some question as to whether the

prosperity on the prosperity Of the popu-
lation they serve. Furthermore, such q
~shrinkage In values as that In grain to-
day Involves q large liquidation or collat-
erals, and IL was this hat caused h
chief damage to prices of stocks.
The weakness permeated pretty much
the whole list. but was especially marked
in the grangers, Peoples Gas and some
of the high-priced specialties. This acute
selling pressure from Chicago gave rise
to some persistent reports of q pending
large failure in the Chicago grain trade.
But there was also an ingenious sugges-
ton to The effect that q large speculative
commission in Chicago was manipulating
the market with a view to going long on
wheat while going short on stocks, on
the prospect of the inevitable rumors OF
crop damage before harvest time. Damage

ports of crop damage. would certainly
