CONSTRUCTION
Of Money Supply Almost DemoraIzed the
Market.

By Associated Press.
New York, April S,-The call loan
rate proved to be the solar plexus Of
tha stock market. The construction of
the money supply and the advance on
the rate for cali money precipitated
such a spasm of liquidation as threw
the stock market into a condition bor-
dering on Generalization. The bulls
were unprepared for today's develop
ments. The instant the market open
ed it became evident that there was a
widespread determination to sell
stocks.
At the opening the bears fell upon
the market with great fierceness anG
cut wide breach in prices.
The wide extent of the first declines
which were made by successive drops
Of from to 21a points between sales,
invited quick profit taking by the
bears and the violent rallies which en-
sued encouraged the bulls to make
some stand against the reduction.
This was the only period of the day
when there was any show of positiv :
strength. The strength was short liv-
ed after the demand from the bears was
satisfied, and many of the banks began
calling loans. This brought fresh
supply of liquidations in the marke:
and invited fresh attack by the bears.
Selling became precipitate as the fall
in prices wiped out margins and uncov-
cred stop-loss orders and the un
lucky bulls iettisoned great bales OF
stock with the hope of relieving their
loans and saving other holdings from,
the shipwreck. There were occasional
spasmodic rallies, but they were not
held in any case. The closing was ir-
regular and only slightly above tn
lowest. The fall reached an extreme

REAL TRUE COCK
AND BULL STORY
The Cock Rode the Fowl" Car for
Several Trips While the Bull
Navigated James River.

A bull-calf, belonging to Mr.. James
Grubbs, of Engine Company No. S, while
grazing in a field on the river, near the
Bay Line Wharf, on yesterday afternoon,
in some manner fell overheard and swan
down the river a distance Of about half
a mile. 1t became completely exhausted
from its new adventure and was in the
act of being drowned when he was rescued
by several sailors from a schooner which
was anchored in the river
The sailors carried the calf ashore and
rolled him over q barrel, in order to re-
vive him if possible and after half an
hour of hard work they finally succeeded
in resllscitatins him. The calf gathered
about five gallons of water in his trip
down the river, which was gotten out OF
him by the rolling on the barrel.
He was afterwards taken back up the
field, where the other COWS We're grazing,
and was soon relating his experience to
his mother and the. other COWS.
A real live chicken was a passenger on
the all-night, or owl car on the Main
Street line one night this week for SIX
trips of that car. How that chicken be-
came passenger is a strange story.
In the early part of the night the night
Waterman at the Casino discovered
number of stray chickens roosting in the
building and drove them out. Among
them was the rooster tnaC AFTERWARDS De-
came the passenger on the car.
When driven from the Casino the roos-
ter sought refuge under the car. which
was standing near. while the crew We're
in their little Matchbox eating lunch.
The rooster passed under the car and
perched himself upon piece that pro-
jected several inches out from the rear
truck and soon fell to sleep
The car continued on its journey
through Fulton for "a number of trips, and
met with an accident and had TO be taken
into the sheds. Another car was SubSt-
tuted, but the rooster remained on the
disa bled car until next morning. when
Car Inspector Harlowe was disturbed
from his duties of inspecting the cars by
several faint crows of a rooster. and was
at a loss to account for the noise in the
car-Shed.
He called several of the hands, and af-
ter a search found a live rooster perched
underneath the car. The fowl was held
pending an investigation.
The mystery was not solved until seVe-
raj days later, when a resident of the
West-End stated that a rooster belonging
to him had been missing for several days
and was told there was a rooster at the
car-sheds awaiting Identification, and he
claimed his property.
