orators in stocks was devoted almost
exclusively to attempts to solve the
mystery of the source of the stream
of liquidation. Pure surmise and ir-
responsible gossip played an important
part in this, but the conclusion has
been quite generally arrived at that
the recent selling has come from i'm
portant and wealthy interests and that
the selling hyas prompted by some
special financial needs of the hold
ers rather than by conditions affect
ing the stocks sold. 1t is a matter
of public knowledge that very large
accumulations of railroad stocks have
been made during the late period of
rumors of extensive consultations.
Part of this accumulation was made
in the direct effort to secure control
of various railroads, and part of it
was made by wealthy speculative fol-
lowers, who were informed of the pro-
jects under way, for a profitable turn
in the market The great check to
the wholesale consolidation process
came by the Northern Securities de-
cision, and in increasing degree from
the impossibility Of marketing newly
manufactured securities. The conse-
quence has undoubtedly been the
abandonment of many consolidation
projects and the tying up of very large
holdings in the hands of projectors
and their speculative IrlendS ana 1Ol-
lowers. While this is held to account
for the special pressure to sell, the
fact remains that the exceedingly
scanty buying demands, which makes
the selling effective in breaking prices,

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 26.-The conspicuous
facts in to-day's stock market were
the relaxation in the pressure of the
urgent and forced liquidation which
has kept the market unsettled for some
time and the extreme caution of the
buying at the higher level of prices
which was maintained to-day.
The general level of the market was
above last night all day, but prices
wavered and fuctuated constantly
throughout the session. About 2 o'clock
prices were generally at the lowest, and
in the neighborhood of last nights
level, but one of the numerous rallies
set in during the last hour and the
closing was firm at higher prices than
at any previous time during the days
The opening dealings disclosed good
buying orders distributed among the
great speculative railroad stocks. the
movements in which are Of largest

ket These are precisely the stocks
which have suffered most severely in

August after having forced the market
up from 10.SSc for that option. At the
higher levels attained here, however,
there was considerable profit-taking
and reaction was brought about of
several points, which was increased
when the summary of the regular
weekly report of the Weather Bureau
was read, showing a slightly less I'M
favorable condition than expected.
When the details of this were pub
lished, however, it was responsible for
another sharp rally occurring mostly
in the late months, under covering
and fresh buying orders in those po-
sitions. From 11.15c the low point for
July, 10.70c for August, and $3.50 for
September, the market was forced
back to about the best point of the
day, with the New England bull lead
er reported a heavy buyer particularly
of the autumn months. The close was
firm at a decline of 29 points on May,
which closed at 1920 to an advance of
6@19. points elsewhere. Total sales
futures were estimated at 100000 bales.
Trading during the day. while fairly
active, was not SO spectacular as dur
ing some sessions recently, though
sentiment remains nervous and unset
tied.
Receipts at the ports estimated early
at about 5000 bales, turned out con-
siderably less than expected. the fig
ures being only AN bales, against
1921 bales last year, and this assisted
in the late up-turn. Estimates for to-
morrow's receipts at leading points
were full.

New York, May 26.-Our market

closed 11.25c, and after selling at Ills

erpool is feeling the effects of the poor
crop reports which have gone forward
of the new crop. While the govern
ment report to-day showed a slight i'm
provement in the western and central
districts, the report does not change
the idea that the crop has had a poor
start. May has been for sale all day,
with July taking it's place as manipu-
lated position. August has been weak
all day, while the May crowd have
been heavy buyers of December, the
advance in Liverpool is ascribed 20 the
desire to close engagements bef9rA the

of local trade is to expect a reaction

great deal of strength. 1t was the gen.
eral expectation that the weekly gov
eminent report would be decidedly
bullish, and as usual traders started In
to discount it's effects before the report
should be read. The report, however,
caused scarcely a ripple about the ring.

New York. May 26.-The market
opened to II points higher, in a fair
ly good demand. Gables were fully up
to expectations, and there was an alb
sence of buyers which is expected TO
become so pronounced as the season
advances, that prices for the new crop
months are expected to move up very
swiftly, especially if it should appear
that the crop is not doing so we'll as
now appears to be the case. Higher
prices are inevitable when we consider
that the movement will be on such a
small scale at the tail end of this crop.
Spot stuff is hard to get and will be
harder still from now on and until new
cotton begins to move. May weakened
sharply in the first hour, but neverthe
less the general market showed a good
deal of strength, and the bull move
ment in New Orleans was large, buy
ing big blocks of August. Cut worms
were hurting the Texas crop, and on
the whole the poor reports were large
ly in the majority, which inspired the
bulls with decided confidence. Closing
cables were steady at 4 to 10 net adj
vance. Showers were indicated for
most sections in Texas. The weekly
bureau report on the whole was mixed,
and generally better than expected.

Tuesday, May 26.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at sic, sales 274 casks, and
closed steady and unchanged, no sales.
The demand during the late hours was
moderate, and little business was done.
The receipts were 6S2 casks, and the
exports AIS casks. A matter of inter-
est to the trade at the moment is the
generally rising temperatures through
out the turpentine belt, which means
that a continuance will cause the gum
to flow more freely and give operators
a chance to catch up with their work
The receipts have not been coming up
to their normal volume at this season,
which is due to the unfavorable
weather.
ROSINS-The rosin market closed
firm, with closing sales of SIS barrels
The demand was moderate. The re-
quirements of exporters nave been ap-
parently supplied for the moment, and
this lack of eager demand makes the
market tame affair. The days re-
ceipts were 2,263 barrels, and the ex-
ports 11S barrels. Prices as follows:
