MARKET is PROFESSIONAL

New York. May 1O-The recent inertia
OF the stock market gave way today to
a sharp downward movement accompan-
fed by some broadening OF the speculative
interest and an increase in the eggre-
gate Of the dealings over the recent aver
ages. Good reserves professed to show
evidence of liquidation in the selling, part
of it induced by the decline itself. The
large proportion of the dealings were adj
mittedly in professional hands still There
was clear evidence also that the hands
which were operating with renewed vigor
in stocks were carrying on parallel opera
tions in the wheat market. This is q very
usual coupling of speculative activities,
offering some logical arguments for SELL
ing of securities, especially of the grang-
or railroads. The granger railroads were
in fact quite conspicuous in the selling of
today, and IL was common belief that
some special selling orders in the stock
market came from houses with important
grain market connections.
Selling from these sources were not con-
fined to the grangers and that group of
stocks had some factors to contend with
in addition TO the bad crop reports With
This qualification IL was true that the
weakness of stocks originated from opeT-
atoms by the same interests as did the
paign was furthered effectively BY the
publication of crop estimate by an expert
in. the service of the commission houses
In which a smaller out turn of winter
wheat was predicted than has been named
by other authorities heretofore
The speculation for the decline received
a considerable impetus from the news of
government activities at Washington. The
special weakness of the Hill stocks was
1raceable to the report from Washington
that the inquiry into the common rela-
ton railroad was to be aggressiVeIy ex-
tended. The report OF the bureau OF cor
poratiOnS In the Standard Oil company
was companion influence. as the prin-
ciples there formulated for the reckoning
of reasonableness in charges for service
by public corporations were regarded as
widening indefinitely the problem of rates
TO be charged by railroads as they might
be controlled by the government The
question of financial needs of corpora
tons and the demands upon the money
market which might be made necessary
on these accounts was p continued influ-
ence in the depression of securities
The special weakness in Union Pacific
as well as in the Hill stocks. looked to
Washington for its inspiration.
