NEW MORNING

that the supposedly distressed capital ists were in reality taking advantage of the unsettlement of values to carry out another daring exploit. The rumor alleged with positiveness that certain large centralized holdings of Reading had been taken over by MT. Hartman securing his control of the property. The heavy liquidation of yesterday in Atchison was alleged to be of Union Pacific holdings to provide resources for the Reading operation. The bears in Reading were thrown into panic, and there was a scramble to cover all through the list. The report was im- possible of verihcation. The bears
 were intimidated and were disinclined to pursue their attacks on prices of other stocks. The Reading rumor came into the market in the midst of a dras tic Hquidating movement in Canadian Pacific, which had forced that stock down over points below yesterdays violent closing level. This had much the same effect as the violent slump in Atchison yesterday, and had served to break the whole market. The reversal oA tuo IiONeAleuL was dll lIle luOIe dU- rupt and violent on that account, There
 was also heavy liquidation in Pennsyl- 1 vania, Amalgamated Copper and Union
 Pacific. The absorption of these stocks
 and Reading, however, was constant throughout the day. Atchison also met
 no such selling pressure as that of
 yesterday, These evidences of resist
 ance in the market had already di-
 vided speculative sentiment, and the
 Reading incident turned prices decis-
 lively upwards. The last prices were
 generally the best of the day, and an
 active buying movement was in force. Bonds were irregular Total sales,

YESTERDAK'S STOCK MARKET
varied and Violent Fluctuations.

New York, March 6--Wall street has seldom if ever seen such varied and
 violent fluctuations in prices of securi- ties as those which occurred to-day. There have been panics in the stock market when prices fell apparently in- to bottomless abyss. There have been boom periods when bold spectators seemed to be carrying prices illimitably upwards. But the feverish upward and downward alternations which charac- terized to-day's movement have had
 few parallels, The market was two sided from the start. Then followed a period of abrupt reversals of the gen. eral current of prices and ultimately excited and disorderly movements at
 cross currents. The whole movement was without definite news to explain it, but the volume and the aggressive ness of the operations were sufficient to stamp them as coming from sources of importance. Wall street defines the condition as a rich mans panic" ]" This is based on the supposition that men of great wealth, who accumulated large holdings of stocks last year, find themselves with a prospect of selling out to advantage in the present pub lie distaste for the stock market. It is believed that they have been prompted as well by the urgency of other calls upon them, dueto the universal pres sure for capital, and by fears of being 'Jvertaken by a period of industrial de- pression, to liquidate their holdings as best they may. Into this condition of sentiment was precipitated today re- port that carried with it an inference

Many of the parents who heard Dr. E. H.

Arnold con- tinues the same subject be held in the evening so that the fathers as well as the mothers migh attend.
 The hour of the meeting has been changed, therefore, from p. m to 8 O o'clock this evening, and the place of meeting from the science room in the high school to room 30 in Boardman manual training school.

The 25-point average decline in the market and the 50 and Hotpoint drop in individual shares has somewhat reversed this condition.
