ply the scaling down of the money mar ket resources had some part in forming the retreat of the party committed to the long side of the market. Foreign mar kets sent selling orders to this market and were reported uneasy over our money position over the failure of the Union Pacific bond offering or it's abandonment to the underwriting syndicate and the friction between this country and Japan. The publication of cordial expressions over the arrival of the Japanese admiral, in New York occurred about the time sharp rally in prices was in progress late in the afternoon.
 The small number of subscriptions to the new issues naturally eased the de- mands, but the return of deposits into the subtreasury depleted supplies to such an extent as to run the money rate up to per cent quite early Tn the day.
 The filing of the governments suit against the American Tobacco company and the stated purchase of the New York Public Utilities commission ito probe the traction activities against corporal tions. The reduction in the price of copper also was an unsettling influence of another de- exchange kept alive uneasiness over the stability of that market.
 The government crop report offered no help to stocks. The first report on the years corn crop was of a poor showing. The improvement in the condition of the winter wheat was less than was hoped Tor and the falling off in the condition or spring wheat was unfavorable. The closing was easy. Bonds were easy To- tai sales par value $1 ,327, ,00O United States As declined h per cent.

RAPID DECLINE
 IN STOCK MARKET Accepted as Readjustment from
 Artificial Level
MANIPULATIVE TACTIC
The Bankers and Stock Commission Houses Deprecate Untlmelness of Recent Operations to Agera-
 vate Prices and Interest.

New York, July 10.-The rapid decline In prices Of stocks today was quite gen. orally accepted as a readjustment from an-artifcial level and contributed by ma nipulative tactics. Recurrences wee re, cited as waning influences on the markeg but the conviction remained that these were impellng causes toward the aban- donment of a futile campaign for rise rather than any deep-seated incentive to liquidation in the ordinary sense. Bank CTS and even stock commission houses gre numerous which have depreciated the un- tineliness of the recent operations to ag- grayate prices and to attract public interest in stocks, but the persistence and the strength of the operations carried a certain amount of conviction with them.
 The campaign was carried up to the very threshold of today's severe money requirements with apparent uneoncern and needless of the warnings which have been common in Wall street district ever since the advertisements designed to fur ther the project began to appear
 The whole project seemed to be abrupt ly abandoned today and half to two
  more than two weeks in establishing were surrendered in a few hours St. Paul, which was reserved by the speculative leadership for their last resource after being forced up even in face of yester- days selling pressure naturally was the most acute sufferer today.
 Union Pacific, Reading, Amalgamated Copper and the Hill stocks came next in the order in which they have gained ill the operations of manipulators of the market Some special weakness in Union Pacific was attributed to the poor sub scriptions reported to the new convert able bond issue.
 A converse -izi---7nt of the case was also heard, that the subscription period for the bonds having expired, the support of Union Pacific for the purpose of add Ing to the attractiveness of the bonds was no longer maintained. Subscription warrants for St Paul new stock also fell back in proportion to the fall in the stock itself The squeeze in the money market came, as was expected, and was indeed Inevitable with the withdrawal today of government deposits from the national banks.
 The engagement of s1,O00,O gold for shipment to France aggravated the ef- feet of the money disturbance as the rice In money rates and the fall in for sigu ex- change had aroused hopes that ile gold export movement was at an end. Plopa-
