YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKED
Subjected to Shock Late in the After
 nOOns

ShU5ecteu 10 a SHOCK Late m the Alter noon.
 New York, Nov. 2.--To-day's stock market, after active trading throughout the session, was subjected to a shock in the late afternoon, when bear pan ic developed in Reading and that stock was rushed up to 135. This movement induced a slump in prices elsewhere, but when Reading yielded to below 1S2 the general market rallied. The clos ing, however, was irregular and highly excited. The market was gathering strength in the afternoon, when the violent advance in Reading set in on a paroxysm of buying in lots of many thousand shares. The feeling of panic among uncovered bears was a clear enough motive for this movement, and the fear of losses to be involved induced a general throwing over of stocks in other directions. Gains were pretty generally wiped out in a few minutes, and a number of important losses were established.
 The movements in the market were special throughout, and a scrutiny of the whole list discloses that the gen. eral movement in the usual leaders was narrow. The reopening of the foreign stock markets after yesterdays holiday revealed some renewed depression on account of the continued disorders and the doubtful outlook in Russia. There was sharp reaction in the price of Russian bonds, and London was an active seller of stocks in this market during the early dealings. After the hour when trading abroad was over the market here made better general prog ress upwards. The coalers continued to hold the conspicuous place in the trad ing which has distinguished them for a long time past. The supposed new fac tor to-day in the awakened demand for them was the reported opinion of the head of the mine workers that strike of coal miners was unlikely for the coming spring.
 The stimulation thus given lifted Reading to a new high level and was of influence in awakening Erie from a partly dormant condition. Pennsyiva- mia was affected to some extent by the same influence, coupled with the extra ordinary activity reported in the iron and steel trade.
 Time money continued very firm in this market and foreign exchange re- covered from yesterdays reaction. The Bank of England made very weak re- turn with it's proportion of reserve to liabilities down to the extraordinary low proportion of SS.50 per cent. Open market discounts hardened in London, call money rose sharply and sterling exchange at Paris declined fraction.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,325,OOO
 United States twos declined A per cent. on call.

1t Was Rushed Up to 1855 and Then It
 Slipped Back Several POints-The . Close of the Market Was Feverish.
 There was hshy look to the rush. ing up of Reading common yesterday afternoon to 1S5. The stock having reached this pinnacle was allowed to slump back three points to prevent a scare.
 As it was, this spectacular demon- stration was interpreted by many as & signal to be conservative, and there was some good selling of long stocks.
 Shelters also was on the rampage, and rose to a new high record. 142 S-4, and Duluth and $. S., preferred, got sporty and ran up to 4S from S5 1-2.
 Toward the closing profit taking de- veloped and the market lost some of it's earlier gain, and became very weak when Reading sold up to 1S5 on a "cor- ner" scare.
 London sold 4O,00O shares. The Bank of England made particularly weak statement, with @ loss in reserve of . l 3-4 per cent. and reduction in bull lion. The Bank of France lost gold also. Sterling exchange here jumped sharply, while money rates were about 5 per cent. The banks have lost over $3,000, 900 to the sub-treasury.
 The September earnings of Pennsyl- vaina, just out, furnish food for re- fiection, showing as they do the tre- mendous business the company is do- ing, and it's big earnings. The road earned in September $11,602,4S gross, an increase of about $2,000,000 more than a year ago. Big amounts were put into the road to get ready for still bigger earnings to come.
 Londen's selling of stocks was con- fined to 8 comparatively few issues, and included Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania, Steel and Mis- solri, Kansas and Texas. The liqui- dation of Missouri, Kansas and Texas represented profit-taking for Amster- dam account. The weak Bank of Eng land statement influenced London op- orators.
 The advance in Reading from 132 3-4 to 135, in the last half hour, was made on sales of 36,00O shares, while the sub seqaent reaction to 132 S-4 came on dealings of 3S,OOO shares.
 One view of the market expressed yesterday was that When the feature of the railroad list is Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic the market is in a bad way. The stock was tipped vigor- ously Wednesday, but it was not until yesterday morning, when it was again noticed through the street for rise, that the tippers made good. Its Sep- tentber statement showed an increase in surpus of $5S,O00.
 Ali indications were that the sharp and general bidding up of stocks yes- terday was based on a plan to bring final pressure against the shorts to drive them in It met with some suc- cess.
 The failure of the Chesapeake & Ohio directors to increase the dividend on the stock led to some selling. As matter of fact, the Dick pool, it Is stated, has been pulling the stock in- dependent of any increase in the rate.
 One of the weakest features of the market was Rock Island, which was under, the same pressure as ten days ago.
 The small net earnings of the St. Paul caused some more selling of the stock early. Good use has probably been made of the large amount charg- cd to operating expenses.

CONSIDERATION AT NEwTowN
Rev.. Frederick F. Johnson Made AS.
 sistant to Bishop Hare.

SlSLant to Bishop Hare.
 Newtown, Nov. 2.-C1ergymen and laymen of the Episcopal church of this diocese and others were brilliantly rep- resented here to-day at the consecra- ton of Rev. Frederick Foote Johnson, of this village, as assistant to Dr. Will liam Hobart Hare, the venerable mis- sionary bishop of South Dakota.
 The ceremony was performed in &C., eordance with the full Episcopal ritual in Trinity church. of which Mir John son has been a communicant since boy- hood. It was the first event of the kind in the history of NeWtown, and in hon. or of it the little church was beautiful ly decorated with autumn leaves and chrysanthemums, while the entire vil- lage extended 8 cordial welcome to the distinguished visitors.
 During part of the service MT. John son sat in a chair which was brought from England by Rev. John Beach, who was the first Episcopal minister in Newtown and a missionary in early Revolutionary times.
 MT. Johnson was graduated from Trinity college in 1894 and from Berke- ley Divinity school in 1897. He was elected last June by the house of bish- ops to be an assistant to Bishop Hare. He has held rectorships at St. Paul's church, Huntington; at Boulder, Col; at RedIands, Cal, and has been a mis- sionary under Bishop Vinton of south western Massachusetts. His father, E. Levan Johnson, is a well-known anti quarian and historian of NewtoWn. . There have been six bishops previ- ously consecrated within the limits of the diocese of Connecticut.
