Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Nov. 2.-Today's stock
market, after active trading through
out the session was subjected to
shock in the late afternoon when
bear panic developed in Reading and
that stock was rushed up to 1856.
This movement induced slump in
prices elsewhere, but when Reading
yielded to below 1872 the general
market rallied. The closing, 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 buy
ing in lots of many thousand shares.
The feeling Of panic amongst uncoV-
cred bears was a clear enough motive
for this movement and the fear of
losses to be involved induced a gen
eral throwing over of stocks in other
directions. Gains were pretty gen.
orally wiped out in a few minutes and
number of important losses eStab-
lished. The Coalers continued
to hold a conspicuous place
in the trading, which has
distinguished them for long
time past The supposed new factor
today 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 stimula-
ton thus given lifted Reading to a
| new high level and was of influence
| in awakening Erie from partly dor
mani condition. Pennsylvania was
affected to some extent by the same
! influence coupled with the extraor-
/ binary activity in the iron and steel
! trade The Smelling and metal stocks
| continued to be influenced by the
rumors of an intended merger. The
| electric stocks including the Allis-
| Chalmers stocks and Locomotive were
affected by surmises of the use of the

eral Electric to form a combination
