Stocks Failed to Hold Recovery En-

Lowest For Week.

New York, Sept 19-Stocks failed
TO hold the recovery which was en-
joyed yesterday, although there was
some early extension Of that recovery
today Later in the session the most
active and prominent stocks sold at
lowest prices of the week The VIC
lent relapse was due to the renewed
suspicion that stocks were being dis
tributed by a powerful speculative
party that has been credited with he
practical control of the market for
weeks past The support accorded
the market yesterday begot the hope
that this conrol was to be reasserted
and the recation terminated.
The pressure to sell on advances
today dissipated this hope and the ac-
tive unloading of speculative holdings
followed, Selling was in force when
the market closed at the Lowest
prices Of the week. Disclosures point
