BIG BREAK IN STOCKS.
VARIOUS MARKET LEADERS
 BROKE SERIOUSLY.

A Hot Time in Wall street-PIvotal Stocks Looked Sick-MarIxet sympa-
 thized With Grain SituatiOn-Near
 the Close Call Money Ran Jp to 2
 Per Cent.--Features of Lively Day.
 There were lively times in Wall street yesterday, and there, were frequent calls for more margin. A collapse occurred at noon. There was rally in the afternoon led by Louisville. In fact Louisville was run up on two diff ferent occasions, evidently to hold the market and prevent a disastrous slump. At the close there was another sharp break. The market, it was the theory, sympathized with the wheat situation. Declines at noon extended to 4 or 5 points in some cases. North ern Securities broke, s 1-2 points before one o'clock, Union Pacific 5-S, St. Paul 5 1-2, Chesapeake and Ohio 3. Col- 4 1-4, Reading 3, Smelling f, Amalga- mated Copper 1-2, Canadian Pacific IA, and United States Steel preferred ?. May wheat in Chicago broke cents to III 5-S at the same time, and as some of the men who are supposed to be back of the grain pool were largely identified with the rise in some of the stocks mentioned, Wall street was on the qui vive. Whether the wheat spec ulators had to sell stocks to protect themselves or not. the stock market had bad spell Hundreds of traders tried to sell stocks and selling orders from out of town poured in. The mark ing up of Louisville, & Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line had some staying effect, but not much. It was hard work to stem the tide. Then, too, with such Ia weak stock market here was the tri- pie holiday ahead to confront and dis lturb traders. The signing of the tax bill at Albany was counted another unE pleasant factor. 'z t .
 May wheat was heavily sold, showing a change in tactics. Prices in Chicago broke five cents and reacted two cents it was the opinion, were taking heavy losses. ~$ rt {
 Call money was bid up to seven per cent. just before the market closed, adding another deterrent factor to the situation, although some good judges thought this was a fictitious price and made to influence the market and fur ther help the bears. #*
 Amalgamated broke four points be- fore the directors meeting, and as the event showed only one per cent, was declared instead of 1 1-2 per cent, as some had prognosticated. Moreover, no statement was made. It had been widely heralded that the Amalgamated was at last going to tell the public something. An officer of the company said that no statement would be made until the end of the fiscal year, if them
 A feature of the day was the receipt in Wall street of many telegrams with MT. Lawson's name signed, which were calculated to incite the public to get

out of stocks. The usual inhammatory remarks accompanied some of these statements.
 The liauidation that occurred in the second hour was the heaviest for some months. It represented the throwing over of weak accounts that had been created on the last advance in the market.
 London played very small part, with transactions of a few thousand shares.
 Much of the liquidation in Reading, St. Paul, Chesapeake. Union Pacific, New York Central. Amalgamated Cop per and United States Steel was thought to have emanated from the operators prominent in the pool in May wheat.
 The per cent. price for the loaning of money was the highest rate since eth first week in 1904. +...
 The present price of 15 5-S cents pound is the highest of the year, and the highest since 1901, when the Anal gamated held the price at II cents. The only change as. regards the dividend declared yesterday is that the shares have been pt on a per cent. basis,
 It is a very long time since the stock market has had so many unfavorable incidents to contend with as was the case yesterday. x.
 The complication of higher money was not expected. It was due to the borrowing for over the holiday
 Half an hour after the opening very positive reports came from the board that in ten minutes official announce ment would be made of a ' per cent guarantee on Louisville by A. c. L. On this Louisville rose over 8 points to about 149. The leasing story was not confirmed. ~
 The simplest explanation of the de- cline in Union Pacific was that a large quantity of stock borrowed for the spe- cial meeting next month was being re- turned and that the market could not absorb these abnormal offerings.
