New York. April 25.-Niolent and
feverish fluctuations in the prices OF
stocks this morning indicated AN UNI
settled state of speculation. The oper-
ators We're confused in the interpreta-
ton of the acute weakness with which
the market closed on Thursday last,
before the Easter holidays. The re-
turn to the stock exchange list OF
Northern Pacific was another confus-
ing element. To these We're added the
slump in wheat Saturday, indicating
the collapse of the corner, and the furry

To add to the uncertainty, the Lon

market Within fifteen minutes after
the opening Northern Pacific sold at

quoted at $50. During the first hour
Union Pacific sold off some 3l2 and n
number of other leading stocks a point
or more. The bear operators We're very
active on the short side. and they over
sold the market and We're driven to Gov

Railroad Relieved His Folks of
Burden

Bloomington. ILL.,, April 25-A unique
point in damage suit has been brought
out by decision of Judge Wright in
the Champaign county court. Last fall

that any person was depending upon
