STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. June 4-Y yesterdays late re-
action was taken as demonstration Of
the futility of the effort made early in
the day to put prices up and professional
operators this morning proceeded to
throw over such holdings as they had
taken on with expectation of an upward
turn of prices There was not much in
the news of the day bearing on values.
The weakness increased as the day pro-
crossed and before the close took on an
appearance of forced liquidation which
was in evidNloa earlier in the week
- uumber OF Canadian stocks showed
tendency 10 recover from the depression
caused by the Canadian financial diff
cuities Of Tuesday. but there was some
apprehension that after-effects OF these
troubles were TO be feared at other
points.
The greatest selling pressure today
converged on Amalgamsted Copper. Of
which thousands OF shares We're thrown
on the market with seeming disregard of
what prices they would bring. The stock
touched - shortly before the close. an
extreme decline Of points for the day
and IL points lower than ever before
In the history of the COMPANY Ameri-
can Smelling also showed the effect Of
special pressure. The personality Of the
brokers employed In this selling caused
the movement TO be associated with the
pool which is understood 10 have oper-
sted both in Amalsamated and in the
market Tor metals
Another iuuuential factor causing dis
enlargement WAS the free selling Of Penn
- Taria during tSS day. This stock
touched l-S2s. a decline on the day Of l'sG
j. points below the previous record on

subscription price To stockholders. which

PACKERS MUST TAKE THEM
Prices Were Lower for Hogs
Cattle Were Steady

Reports have been sent out from the
Union Stock yards that no stock was de-
sired until the food subsidized, but in spite
of tina fact hogs kept coming. The pack
ers have done their best to relieve the
hogs that had accumulated last Wednes-
day and yesterday they bought what came
in. The overflow Of Chisholm creek has
partially run down and now hogs can
be gotten to the packing houses without
having 70 swim. Provisions were lower
yesterday and this caused weakness in
The hog market The top price yester-
day was $3.50 and was obtained for TWO
car loads of nice. even, wei finished hogs
averaging 229 pounds. Mixed hogs weigh
