Politics in Stock Market.

New York, July 16.-Even profes-
sional raiders in Wall street have been
surprised at the persistence with which
Rockefeller brokers have recently bea-
ten down the prices of stock. j. P.
Morgan and other optimists have tried
in vain to support the list, but the
power of Standard Oil millions was ir-
resistible.
The Rockefeller holdings of New
York Central and Pennsylvania have
been increased largely on the present
decline. But so confident are the
Standard Oil operators of getting their
stocks back cheaper that they are hurl-
ing them on the market in great blocks
to frighten weaker holders.
In some quarters. it is insisted that
the bear campaign has as its object the
business of impressing the country
with the necessity of additional cur
rency legislation. It is urged that
some measure like the Aldrich bill,
formulated by the Senator related by
marriage to the Rockefeller family, will
restore stocks to the prices that were
current in the wild days of two years
ago. It is also stated that the far
sighted and powerful men are prepar-
ing to have Mr.. Shaw come to the re-
lief of tie market before the. summer
is over by calling bonds at fancy
price. This view is held by persons
In authority in Washington.
