the bear attack, aided by weak longs,
again began their hammering tactics

shorts who covered to secure profits,
forced the price back to 1880. This

ceipts were 1874 cars, SO of contract

demand was also slack.
Wheat was active and weak under
the combined influences of the corn
market, weak cables, heavy receipts
and good weather. May opened hc to

dation led by Phil.Ds. Twice slight
rallies took place under reports of

A Few Quotation. Received Late.

About five o'clock in the afternoon
White & White succeeded in getting a
long distance message through to the
Dennison Pryor Company, of Cleve-

This Is the first time in. two years

true of other cities. Efforts to reach

Russell Sage is said to be the most
disappointed man in Wall street be-
cause OF the rise in Manhattan and
Missouri Pacific. The financier is a
bear on the market, but, although he
has not gone short, it is understood
that he put out a lot of calls On both
of the stocks mentioned at prices rang
ing from 10 to 20 points lower. If ri
NOR is correct these calls amount to
between $4,000 and 10000 shares in the
case of Manhattan alone. Mr.. Sage

gram:
The market for home stocks was
dull here to-day. All the business
that was done was restricted to Amer
lean shares and South Africans, which
were extraordinary ~buoyant. The tone
of all the rest of the market was
heavy.
The American department was high
ly excited, and new high records were
made in several issues, the Fries,
Northern Pacifics and Louisville &
Nashville. London was a large buyer
of Louisville on a strong bull tip, and
in truth, New York supported this
stock, and also Northern Pacific is
sues, which Berlin Joined in buying OF
the revival of the old story that North
ern Pacific was to acquire Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, after all.
In the street, after the close, New
York bought Fries and Chesapeake &
Ohio. The general list remained quiet
with Atchisons dragging.
The bank has bought 100000 OF
gold in Indian bars.
Money was scarce on account OF the
heavy repayments to the bank OF re-
cent loans. Call loan rates were 3A,
after being as high as 4$. Bills were
3 SIG per cent. Silver was fiat, and
it looked as if 1t might go lower, a

Stocks-To-day was a record day in
many particulars on the New York
stock exchange. The extent and va
riety of the price movement, however,
has rarely if ever been equaled in a bull
market, although the crumbling of
prices in a panic has occasionally
caused as wide variations. All ordi-
nary STANDARDS fail in the computation
of such a market. The forces in oper-
alton were titanic in their power and
effect. The undertaking success of the
speculative leaders in advancing prices
made them bold to a degree which it
is moderate to term recklessness. They
bought with an unsparing hand
through the stunning avalanche OF
offerings which was hurled upon them
on the advances and lavished their
resources apparently with an abiding
conviction hat the astounding rise in
prices now so long continued, was
destined to go Indefinitely further.
That the speculative spirit was still
rampant among a large circle of pow
er was obvious from the large and
eager following which was attracted by
any show of strength at any point in
the list. 1t cannot be said that news
in the ordinary sense had anything to
do with the extraordinary b~uoyancy
of. the market, although rumors we're
plentiful and all embracing. 1t was
also marked characteristic of the mar
ket that dealings were heavily pre-
dominant in a limited number of
stocks an that the general specula-
ton was decisively Influenced by the
movement of these. Two stocks stand
out conspicuous even in this list, the
price movement in which was aston
ishing throughout. These are Della
ware L Hudson and Rock Island. The
former stock was the conspicuous lead
er of the early rebound from the slight
opening depression. Rumors were cir
culated that a lease had been signed
by which the New oYrk Central tool
control and guaranteed a dividend of
seven per cent. for a year and eight
per cent. annually afterward. The
stock was run up an extreme 1914
points to 1852. Rock Island was un-
der rather severe pressure at the open
ing and was forced 1h under last
night. 1t was not until late in the day
that 1t assumed the leadership of the
market when it was rushed up by
rapid stages on the purchase Of blocks
of thousands of shares to Isl at which
point it closed at an extreme rise
from the lowest of 13& points. 1t is
| not often in the history of stock mar
kets thai such a movement is wit
messed in a stock OF a large floating
supply, a large capital issue and the
holding of which are widely distribut-
| ed. There were kindred moves to these
elsewhere both among the grangers
and the coalers.
The buying of the grangers seemed
to be based largely on general consid-
