BAD BREAK
IN STOCKS
DISSATISFACTION OVER MONEY
OUTLOOK RESPONSIBLE FOR
MUCH OF SELLING

New York, March 5.-Stocks broke
badly today on heavy outpouring
liquidation from all quarters. There
was a we'll centered bear attack on a
number Of stocks which have become
vulnerable by the building up Of ex-
tensive poor accounts and manipula-
tion in the market. The dissatisfac-
tion over the money outlook. the con-
tinued withdrawal of banking reserves
and the necessity of scaling down
credit accounts to keep pace with the
declining reserves is responsible for
most of the selling. Reading was
especially weak and fell nearly six
points below Saturday, Northwestern
went down six points, Northern Paci-
fic, amalgamated copper, Sloss-Shef-
field steel 31s to 33l, Colorado Fuel
AZ. The average level in the whole
list yielded between one and two
points. The occasional rallies in the
merket were due to the hasty profit
taking by the, bears by buyiny to
cover shorts.
The liquidation continued intermit-
tently. In the afternoon at the ex-
treme decline In Reading of over 8
points Anaconda was carried down
H16%. The market was quiet and
showed evidence Of returning strength
in the latter part of the day.

tecting politics seen to have been
ten out of way if the Gilliland reso-
on be excepted OF course If an
stigation of the railroad lobby be
taken the legislature will be here

ably active in matters affecting

Governor to Reply.
In his LeMars speech Governor
Cummins specifically stated that he
had not charged any member of she
legislature with being bribed by the
railroad lobby. A like statement was
made on the floor of the senate by his
close friends when the resolution in
curing of him who was bribed was
being considered. 1t is supposed that
the house of representatives will take
,1p the resolution tomorrow or within
a few days and that the resolution will
then be passed. 1t may be allowed to
die, for no one, except Senator Gillil-
land. so far as known, saw In the Ian
guage used by the governor such a
charge as the senator from Mills ex-
planned to the world that the governor
OF Iowa had made against the mem
bers Of the legislature.
But the governor said at LeMars
that he was prepared to make expla.
nation Of his remarks in his letter to
the republicans Of the state, in reply
to the Gilliland resolution, when il
reaches him. So that there is addi
tional reason for passing it and secur
ing the statement of his position from
the governor that the whole business
may be cleared up.
Governor Cummins has declined tc
discuss the matter in conversation. Sc
his remarks at the LeMars meeting
are significant and new.
