II is probable that more people feel at
sea over the developments in the stock
market yesterday afternoon than would
care TO acknowledge the fact. After
good opening with prices above Wednes-
days comparatively high close, there was
during the morning a general advance.
The bulls were buying confidently and pre-
dieting with the utmost faith that the end
of the reaction had come and gone.cThen
suddenly in the afternoon there COM
menced the most vicious selling movement
that has yet occurred at any time. Under
the leadership of bear pool in Burling
ton apparently prices were sent off point
or more all over the list At the close
there was a slight rally from the lowest
prices. The selling in this slump was I'M
doubtedly for the short side. 1t may prove
to have been a successful move, that will
induce further selling this morning or.
on the other hand, the low prices may at
tract such quantities of buying orders that
the shorts will be swamped and forced 10
cover. The opening of the session today
will be awaited with more interest even
than usual. Stocks seem very attractive
after the declines.

The Atchison securities should, perhaps.
be regarded as the features of the list
again. Mr.. Flower bought the preferred
stock heavily In the morning, the amount
credited to him being anywhere from 5000
20 10000 shares. Under the influence of
this buying and that which followed it
the stock reached 63 II. or the highest
price this week. When the selling of the
entire list began in the afternoon Atchi-
son yielded readily a point or more. II
closed however. nearly two points above
the low figure of the week, which can be
said of few stocks on the list. The com
mon stock was sent TO % IA, and closed
only half point below that figure. The
tip that the preferred is TO go to 20 or
above shortly is one of the most generally
circulated on the street.
The afternoon raid seemed to he under
the leadership of short sellers in Bur
lington. Many thousand shares of the
stock were thrown on the market within
a few minutes. and the price faded away
nearly Two points from the high figure for
the day. II was said that the bears had
gotten hold OF big block of Burlington,
which yesterday arrived from London on
the Majestic. and were trying with it to
break the market. II they do not succeed
they will lose a fortune at every advance
of a fraction from the low price. st. Paul
and Rock Island both lost point in SYM
pathy with Burlington. There was heavy
buying of all the grangers by large inter-
ests, at the bottom figures, and. in fact, all
the way down from near the top.
The announcement that an underwrit-
ing syndicate has been formed to finance
the new 900 deal in Manhattan
stock for equipment purposes seemed to
fall fiat, though many bought the stock in
the morning in the expectation that IL
would be pushed up on the news. The
