TUESDAY. May u.
There was again to-day extensive liauida-
tion in the stock market. with a considerable
further loss in values. There vas a brief i'm
provementi In the early trading and a moderate
recovery at close. but otherwise there was no
interruption to the downward movement in
prices. The morning rally. like the afternoon
one. was due 70 profit taking on short
stocks. but In the FIRST instance the shorts were
taken in only TO be put out again when the de-
cline In prices resumed. There was practically
no support TO the market. Stocks that had
been leading features and factorsNin the
market had apparently been left to
themselves. which was taken to imply
that the insiders were not unwilling
to see weak holders Of them driven
out. An argument that was employed by some
OF the fnanciers identified with the properties
whosestocks were ravaRed was thatthe shake
down. as Wall street expressively called It.
was not undesirable. There had been too
many thinly marGined accounts and too many
stop orders. While they were In existence
they constituted q weak element In tho situa-
ton. and accordingly were a constant menace
to the market. BY their elimination the mar
ket would he placed on 4 sounder basis. The
more responsible part OF the public would
then buy. and could be depended on to with
stand the assaults on stocks by the professional
spectators from time to time. Certain it is
most OF the insiders" have been prepared
for, II, indeed. they have not looked for exactly
what has taken place.
There was nothing In general conditions to
adversely affect the market. Call money moved
up to q v cent. but that rate was paid only by
q few procrastinating borrowers. Most OF the
loans were made at AZ y cent. and some were
made at 81 y cent. Sterling exchange was
heavy. Demand and sixty day rates were down
one-fourth cent.
The largest dealings. as on yesterday, were
In Brooklyn Rapid Transit stock. but there
were other stocks in which the losses In price
were larger. In the traction stocks there were
greater declines in Third Avenue and in Metro
politan Street Railway. Manhattan Railway
receded. but not to the same extent as the
other stocks. While the new steel stocks
went down. the only one in which the
fall compared with that in the traction
stocks was American. Steel Hoop: Cont
mental Tobacco held fairly steady, but there
was a heavy slump in American TOBACCO:
good, portion OF the sales Of American sugar
was for the short account. The short interest
in this stock 10 once more large. While the
company is supposed to be losing money In the
manufacture OF sugar. the directors are ex-
pected to declare the regular dividend on the
stock next month. New York Air Brake sank

Judge Nash MAY Name Dick.

Columbus, o., June 15.-It is believ-
ed tonight that Judge Nash will be re-
quested by the Republican State Cen
tral Committee Saturday, to suggest
,ne name of suitable Chairman of
the Campaign Committee, and that ne
will reply by handing the committee
.ne name Of Colonel Charles w. Dick.
If this belief is we'll founded Colonel
Dick will be chosen Chairman without
opposition. On the other hand, a
Judge Nash declines to make any rec
ommendation to the committee, it is
tolOrably certain that majority of the
committee would not favor the selec-
tion of the Akron Congressman.
State Chairman Daugherty returned
tonight considerably recuperated by
LIS sojourn at French Lick Springs.
