Downward and Market is
Feverish.
BIG VOLUME MAINTAINED
Customers Pack Brokers' Offices
Schiff's Support of Taft
Bullish Factor.

With volume of business fully as
large as Wednesday, stocks ruled
strong during tho first hour. Reading
Union Pacific, and some others reach
ing new high records for the year.
Sales during the time mentioned We're
close to 100000 shares, while bond
transactions amounted to more than
Sl,500000. In the second hour heavy
realizing sales carried prices gradually
downward, and between - and 1
o'clock there was rather a sharp break
indicating withdrawal of support by
the men who had put up prices. The
market was feverish early in the after
noon. and liquidation was still in pro-
gress. After some noteworthy losses
during the early part Of the afternoon,
there was gradual hardening in the
last hour. when at 2:3O o'clock the
market began to rise violently, under
the lead OF Union Pacific, which had
been selling around l49. and suddenly
rose to IA IA on large transactions car
rying the rest of the list up with It..
Reading and the grangers were other
strong features, New high prices for
the day were reached by a few issues
IN the last half-hour But the uplift
brought fresh liquidation, and soon
there were recessions. The final rise
looked like move aaginst the shorts.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Eject of Prolonged Movement Shown
In Markets Action.

New York, May Ito ay'a stock
market showed rather distinctly the
growth of that strain which must ac-
a prolonged movement Of
prices in one direction, whether the
has simply reached an
adequate level TO represent truly the
new basis of values or has overrun IT,
The higher prices have gone, the
greater the attraction offered to the
holder to sell his stocks and realize
his profit. The market gave evidence
early to-day that the task of sustain
ing prices was growing burden5ome IN
face Of the increased volume If Of
ferngs that had to be absorbed for
that purpose The protection of the
market, however, was not abandoned
and there was vigorous rally towards
the last News had as little to do
with the action Of the market as at
any time recently. Rumors GO ltinued
to play some part In the market some
having to do with political questions
and alleging assurances to financial
interests from political agents that
accounted for the tone Of increased
confidence in the stock market of late.
There were rumors, even more vague,
% coming developments affecting re-
lations of the great railroad proper
ties. Some Of these rumors ran out
to form that had so little scmblance
oven of plausbility that their circula-
ton helped to intensity the suspicion
with which the extensive advance IN
prices has come to be regarded. Fore
casts Of the bank statement Indicated
n possibility OF some decline In the
strength Of position of the banks. The
tal>ings of cash from the market on
account of the withdrawal of govern
mont deposits and Of gold exports APP
parcntly have outweighed the inflow
Of cash from interior points, for the
first time in many weeks, promising
some small decrease in the cash Item
in to-morrow's bank statement The
April foreign trade statement showed
that the decline Of $2i,OOo,OOO IN val
ne of our exports was heavily out
matched by the S42,O0O,0OO shrinkagc
in imports, leaving the outward move
ment of gold TO other causes for eX-
rlanation than the international MGR
camille exchanges. Union Pacific,
rhesapeake e. Ohio and Baltimore &
Ohio were effective agents in lallying
the market and the consequence was
a reduction in net changes to small
figures.
EGnds were irregular. Total sales

s1t,ooo,ooo IN SECURITIES.
Has Already Been Turned Over TO
Brokers by New Haven Road.

Information concerning the bonds
and notes which the New Haven road
has sold to Kidder, Peabody & Co., to
provide funds to refund its maturing
obligations up to January /, 1910, ag-
gregate $lLOoOOOO. They are composed
Of three bond issues and one note is
sue. These are either in the treasury
of the New Haven itself or are the UNI
sold balances Of underlying first mort
gage bonds of subsidiary companies,
These latter are already authorized
but held In reserve and are guaranteed
principle ana interest by the parent
company.
In detail these securities are: Har-
lem River and Port Chester per
cont, bonds, maturing in 1856, to the
extent OF S4,OOO,O0O. Boston and New
York Air Line, per cent bonds, mat
urlng in 1866, to the extent Of s2,OO0,OOO
New Haven and Northampton, per
cent. bonds, maturing / nl956, to the
extent of sS,O6O,OOO. Three year deb
enture notes bearing interest at IL
per cent to the extent of 100000.
An important feature in this last
piece of financing is that the sale Of
these three long time bond issues prac-
tlcally cleans up the authorized
amount of first mortgage bonds of the
merged or subsidiary companies. II
the New Haven In the future wishes to
resort to the further issuance of mort
gage bonds It Will have to either place
a second mortgage on It's subsidiary
roads or mortgage It's own main line
This latter has never been done, nor
are there at present any second mort
cages on the subsidiary holdings.
