FIGHT AT ABOUT s5.OOO,OOO.
LIVELY SKIRMISH BETWEEN BULL AND
BEAR FACTIONS OVER THE STOCK
WHICH DECLINES SHARPLY

Interest in the stock of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company was increased at the Stock Ex-
change yesterday, when there was lively sl-ir-
mish between two factions of brokers. one try
ing to hammer the stock lower and the other
trying to support it. On Wednesday and Thurs
day the stock declined in the market from IS
TO -. Interests which were not identified were
unloading large blocks Of the stock on each day,
and about seventy thousand shares changed
hands. II was not believed that either the Os-
good or Gates crowd were selling their stock,
Nut 1t was supposed that many spectators who
had been buying the stock in the expectation
that John W. Gates would be able to get control
of the company were anxious to unload as soon
as the fight at Denver showed that Mr. Gates
and his associates had met with temporary de-
feat.
When the two factions of brokers lined up at
the Stock Exchange yesterday morning the
bears were believed to represent Mr.. Osgood and
his friends and the bulls were thought to be
working in the interest of Mr.. Gates and mis-
sociates An offer Of two hundred shares of
the stock at I6 was snapped UP quickly Then
came offers of blocks of five hundred and two
thousand shares at 10 and "A and fractlons'
which were accepted with shouts for more In
the first half hour of trading nineteen thousand
shares changed hands, and the price was forced
down to 133+ before there was lull- From that
point the price went up Dy SlON Stages uIiI4A a.
the closing hour the stock was selling at 40
again and the Gates faction thought there had
been victory for their side About forty-seven
thousand shares changed hands
1t was estimated by some of the brokers that
So 800 900 was paid for the stock sold yesterday
and some brokers estimated that the Gates
crowd" had lost about S5O0C00O the deal
ings in the stock since the fight for control De-
gan 1t was said that Mr. Gates and his asso-
ciates had bought about two hundred thousand
shares at average Of 100 or at cost VI
