STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Speculation Entering on Reckless
 agc-COnscryatiyc Cautious.

Stagc-Conscryati Cautious.
 New York, Nov, Today's sequel to yesterdays market performance in the two Hartman Pacific stocks open ed the eyes of tho more conservative element to the fact that the specula- tion was entering on q reckless stage. There came q pause to take stock of the situation and a development of greater caution in the conduct of mar kct operations. which was shown by the evident essening of speculative holdings and decline in the rate of activity There was a belief prevail ent in the financial district that these results were caused to some extent by regulative measures among the large financial interests and banks, which saw in the hoadlong course of tho speculation menace to the course of parison of the action of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific directors in conf1ning themselves to the declaration of tho dividends at the rates which have prevailed for two years with the brilliant hued rumors which were kept in circulation yesterday in connection with the volatile rise in those stocks was a warning that proved sufficient as a check
 Another factor was the enormous transactions in the two stocks leading to the inference that much of the trading was of manlpulative character It was the reasoning from these facts that caused hasty unloading of spec ulative holdings and invited profess sional attack which broke the market.
 No unfavorable news of affairs ac- companicd the break, News from al quarters on the contrary, continued uniformly favorable, There may have entered into the consideration the i'm possibility Of indefinite continuance of extreme ease of money with a sustain ed revival in trade activity It was clear, however, that the principal In- centive to the selling wave which swept the market was the very large profits which have accrued on speculative holdings with the rapid rise in prices When the instability of the market was perceived the inducement 10 sell out was increased A widespread gen. crsl demand continued In evidence and helped to absorb the profit taking.
 Vigorous supporting measures were employed at all stages of the selling

showing the continued control exerted by the organized forces in the specula- ton The orderly precision with which the speculation was diverted Into the low priced railroad stocks as a class was evidence of this, These stocks came up trously in the final rally on covering by the days short sellers and it Is in that class that the days gains are found reaching to substantial pro- portions

Much is believed to depend on the ability of the railroads to raise rates as to whether or no the market lm- provement will turn out to be as sus- tained as is expected In many quar- ters. Belief Is that the railroad peo- pie are willing enough to exert every means in their power to advance the cost of transportation, but conserva- tive people put out the reminder that the shipping community as well as the Interstate Commerce commission have to be taken into consideration There are claims, even now, that the steps thus far taken by certain railroad in of the law.

Outside buying orders provided a temporary resistance to the opening break; in addition. some professional interests attempted to create a diver sion by bidding up Erie and the Gould stocks. Erie common rose l-2, the first preferred 2, Wabash preferred S-4, St. Louis Southwestern prefer red 7s. The maneuver was rather transparent. while it was being prac- tised. two firms which frequently exc cut large orders for the Hartman in- terests openly disposed of 50,000 to 60,000 shares of Union and Southern Pacific This started the trading ele- ment, and increased the volume of li- quidation.
