NEW YORK, Aug. 25-The confused
sentiment In the stock market was mani

tone was irregular throughout and trad

Yesterdays movement in Reading pro-
duced a feeling of fear which was but
operators responsible for the movement.
Readings course has created a situation
such as the market has not known in
several days but anything suggestive of
opened at a fractional decline but speed

day. however. were illustrative of the
markets general tone. Following it's
early recovery, the stock made gain of

The market became feverish with de-
clines of to 2A points in number of
Atbe more active issues, including Union
$scific, Louisville e. Nashville, Northern
Hcific and Northwestern Commission
X/buses had an abundance of selling or
'ders and some of the best known broker
age firms were open sellers in the active
list. This was especially true of Union
Pacific, which was carried down over
points with scarcely halt. Most of the
selling offerings came from the same
source.
The break in Erie caught many stop
list order and there was an all around
unloading of weak bull accounts.
In spite Of the heavy selling of Anal
gamated Copper, much of it seemingly for
Boston account, the stock yielded only a
point, but recovered with the announce

The list steadied in the afternoon, al
though Reading continued to act cratic
ally. Business dwindled in the last ses-
sion. and the closing hour was the dull

London, which suffered a setback with
a light shading of consols, was not fac

Forecasts of the weekly money move
ment show an apparent loss by local
banks of about $S,340,000, scarcely more
than one-half of the previous weekly

The preliminary crop demand continues,
however. 100000 being transferred to Chi

A feature of the afternoon was slight

up to to S12 per cent. Very little was
loaned at this figure but considerable
amounts were put out at per cent The
rise resulted generally from belated bor-
rowers.
