Market Review

New York. May s4.-The stock market
opened duh today but soon developed
activity and sold of sharply ON large
transactions This was explained soon
after noon by the announcement OF the
suspension of Price, Mccormack & Co.
which was made first on the cotton ex-
change and soon afterwards ON the stock
exchange. According to the rule of the
exchange, the suspension was followed
by the closing out of the outstanding
contracts of the suspended firm and these
transactions to $3.50 shares before the
olose A heavy outstanding short account
was disclosed i'm the settlement and the
movement Of prices resulting was exceed
ingly confused and irregular. There were
decided recoveries from the lowest prices
and the closing while al most stagnant,
showed the net losses in the railroads
generally reduced to fractions. Sugar
continued the most active stock In the
market and moved in feverish and err
ratio manner all day. The steel stocks
were depressed by the rather discouraging
view expressed by the Iron Age Of pros
poets in the trade that authority advising
a sharp curtailment Of production. A
break in lake rates on grain renewed the
fears that railroad rates could not be held
although the railroad earnings reported
showed good increase, St Paul being IN
cluded Rates for money continue very
easy A feature Of the day was sale OF
Standard oil in the outside market at
566, compared with $50 yesterday which
was then the highest price on record.
The bond market was exceedingly dull
and changes were mixed. Total sales
par value, 81, $50, 900. United States gold
as advanced 3-S and the SIS new coupon
As and 3.s's coupon IA and the 2's is
in the bid price.
The cotton market was one great sensa-
ton today The conservative estimates
placed the aggregate of the day dealings
at considerably above the million bale
mark From the start to the finish of this
most extraordinary session, there was one
enormous output of long cotton supple
mented by the most aggressive work by
the bears who added largely to their short
interest. The immediate reason for to-
days collapse was the tremendous selling
for the account of Price, Mccormick q
Co. The announcement of their inability
to respond to calls for margins reached
the exchange about Il. 30 p. m, and I'M
mediately the market became violently
excited This firm for months had been
Cornering the price of cotton, with atten-
ton directed chiefly to the summer posi-
tions and more especially to May and
August contracts. Today May contracts
broke IS points; they sold down to S4S.
This was a decline of 100 points from the
high water mark. August broke to $50,
"a decline of 125 points from the best prices
this year. The close was at the lowest.
