BALTIMoRE PROVISIONS.
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 13-The violent and
almost uncontested break in prices of
stocks this morning and practically com
plete recovery this afternoon, is the
story of todays market. The closing
prices showed a spFinkling of net gains
amongst some of the most important
stocks on the list reaching point in
Reading and Ontario and Western. At
one period before noon there We're ragged
declines indicated of all the way from
] to IL points from Saturdays level,
many of the leading speculative stocks
having lost TO 4 points in the two
hours of trading. The sentiment in the
street seemed mixed before the opening
between the contending influences of the
repoTs that a settlement of the coal strike
had been arranged and the admonition
contained in the Saturday bank state
ment that there must be further con-
fractions of loans placed in the stock
market. The latter influence swept
away all other considerations and with
the exception of a momentary rally at
ter the opening, due to the taking of
bear profits by Saturdays short sellers
the market pursued a steady downward
course under 4 continuous stream of
liquidation. It was evident that further
selling out on the part of some of the
large speculative pools was going on,
presumably under pressure of the de-
mand for money lenders for repayment
of loans. The Gould Southwesterns and
some of the stocks in which the so-called
Western contingent have operated large
~ were notably affected. The recent
tendency of high priced investment
stocks which had been pushed to an ex-
traorGinary level, to break violently on
small sales, continued in evidence in the
eases of American Express, United
States Express. Lackawanna, Delaware
and Hudson, Great Northern preferred
General Electric and similar stocks
When the liquidation 1rst showed signs
of decreasing, the bears caused a sharp
rally by covering of shorts. after which
the market lay sluggish and neglected
for an hour The speculative sentiment
then yielded to the influence of the hope
full feeling that the industrious consult
ings and activities of the financial anG
operating powers of the great anthracite
companies would lead to substantial re-
suits in the settlement of the coal strike
Any authoritative admission of change
In the condition of deadlock was impos-
sible to obtain, and the unvarying asser-
tion on the part of the operators dealt
only with the possibility of improving
the output of the mines under protec-
tion of the military by the seceders from
the strikers. But the action of the mar.
ket reflected the faith that developments
were forthcoming looking to settle
ment. Reports received over Sunday OF
