BOSTON, April 23. - Twenty-six
leading stocks in the New York and
Boston markets show for the past
week a total shrinkage of more than
s171. 100000 in value from the gen.
eral slump, coupled with the raid by
Lawson and other well-known bear
plungers. Included in this list are
Amalgamated Copper, with more than
se.000.000; American Sugar, s4,5o0,-

Pacific, $4,000. 900: Southern Pacific,
s15,5on,0oe; Union Pacific. s1e. .eoe,-

nearly s23.00o,0o0.
Most of the other stocks in this list
were railroad. The copper shares out
side of Amalgamated showed up in
strong shape.
If the total shrinkage of the leading
industrials and some of the big min
ing properties were to be included it
would run we'll to $500. o0O, 900 for the
three days of the business week
The coming week probably will see
a renewed swift fight of bear opera

open weak and continue so tenn
porarily. The recovery in values is
likely to prove as quick in its effects
as the shrinkage.
