STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 20.-Liquidation be-
came urgent and precipitate IN the
stock market to-day and gathered
force progressively up to the very
close, which was furiously active and
weak at about the lowest No such
scale of activity had been witnessed in
the stock market since the trading fol-
lowing the Northern Securities de-
cision.
Wide inroads were made upon values
and the very general effect of the SELL
ing forbids the supposition that 1t was
due entirely to attack by the bear
party. 1t was not clear In fact what
was the cause OF the markets weak
ness. The very meager demand de-
veloped yesterday when prices were
decisively turned upwards caused a
very bad impression upon speculative
sentiment. The decline has been so
long sustained without notable pause
at any time that a conviction has
gained force with the professional ele-
ment that a very large short interest
had accumulated IN the market. II
was believed also that prices had got
down TO a level that would grove at
tractive TO a large waiting investment
demand when once some assurance
could be had that the decline had run
its course. Yesterdays market was
accepted as proof that the point had
not been reached when these sustain
ms forces could be relied upon. Very

Respondent views were taken of the
future of the market this morning in
consequence of this.
The announcement of an engagement
of 81 300, 900 of gold for export and the
news that Z. H. Hartman had UNDER
gone a surgical operation met the
market at the opening and initiated
the declining tendency. The enormous
liquidation which soon developed in
Atchison was a marked influence upon
sentiment and continued to dominate
the market for the rest of the day, the
influence spreading to an increasing
degree up to the close. Rumors were
circulated of a coming bond issue by
the Atchison, but no official confirma-
ton could be had on this subject. The
opinion gained ground that a large
speculative interest in the stock was
in a vulnerable position and was being
made a target for attack. The ex-
IRENE decline in the stock reached 81,
which was edualled by st. Paul
Losses of 2 to points were fairly gem
eral amongst active stocks, and con-
siderably exceeded that in cases where
dormant stocks were forced to sale.
A notable example of this was a 2S
point drop in Michigan Central This
stock was subsequently bid up again
10 points before an offering was en-
countered, and a sale made. Bear tao
tics were perceptible in the preeipitate
decline at the last. notably in the cir
culation of rumors that 100000 to
100000 in gold would go out on Sat
urday to Europe. The only basis for
this rumor was found TO be the max
ing of tentative arrangements for the
shipment of s750,0O0 to South America
next week. The situation in the eX-
change market, however, was a strong
factor In the weakness Of stocks. A
speculative upset In Boston precipl-
tated some selling In this market to-
day and shorts in the cotton market
were said 10 be selling stocks TO cover
losses In cotton.

counter rumor was circulated to the
effect that the New Orleans bull had
come to an understanding with the
Philadelphia spot interest that would
enable him to accept all the old crop
cotton rendered. This rumor gained
general circulation late in the afternoon
and was responsible for one of the most
excited and spectacular advances yet
recorded. Prices meantime had ruled
irregular, fluctuating up and down as
first the bulls and then the bears gained
temporary control of the situation.
While the strength at Liverpool had
encouraged the bulls, the large port
receipts and continued favorable
weather proved incentives for fresh
selling on the higher levels and from
the high point of the morning prices
showed a generally downward drift
until mid-afternoon, when May sud-
denly exhibited. remarkable strength
under the efforts of belated shorts to
cover. That option was bid up to
1l.9Sc; July to 11.35c; August to 1105c;
September to 1011e; and December to
9.50c; all of these prices being new
high records for the season, with the
exception of July, which was within
one point of it's previous best price.
Then came another wave of profit
taking by room longs and the market
eased off to 10.94c for May; 11.25c for
July; 10.9Sc for August; $3.50 for Sep
TENDER, and $3.50 for December, the
market closing barely steady, net un-
changed to 80 points higher on the old
and from q to % points higher on the
new crop positions. Total sales futures
were estimated at 100000 bales. Port
receipts were 1904 bales against 2,SS9
bales last year, and the interior move
ment was considered bearish but the
Southern spot markets, while quiet,
were firm, and spot cotton in New
York, influenced by the developments
in May, was advanced 80 points to
12.15c.

d very sharp rise in the Liverpool mar
ket encouraging the bull contingent,
who appear to be holding very strong
position, Notwithstanding determined
efforts to disTodge them. Interest In
the old crop is for the time being dimln-
ishing and there is talk of an i'm
mense short interest in the new crop
months, and the fact that the crop is
making a start far from brilliant. and
that something may develop later on
by which the yield may be cut down,
brings in a good deal of support for
those positions. Weather news was
not regarded as deserving much atten-
0tion to-day, Selling of old crop was
extensive right after the opening, and
these as well as later months, were
forced down rapidly the first hour, the
former as much as points under Fast
nights final figures, and the latter to
within 5 to points. Gables were bull
ish as to the short supply held by spin
ners and scarcity of good grades. The
market hardened after the early re-
action and the new crop was being
supported with a good deal of conf
dence and the fact that Liverpool
closed to 10 points higher. Port re-
ceipts 5000 against $500 last year.
