UNION PACIFIC AND ST. PAUL LEAD
Market Described as Harriman-Rocl-
efeIIer Affair Because of Buying
by Brokers who Usually Rep
resent These Interests,

NEW YORK, May 1s.-The speculative
spirit was rampant about the Stock ex-
change today and there were ebullent out
bursts Of what the trained operator In
stocks called q bullish enthusiasm. The
professional traders threw off the reserve
they have maintained towards the rise In
prices through much OF its course and
were quick to follow any signs of an i'm
cipient movement in whatever quarter of
the list. In the neighborhood Of the ex-
change the market was described as
Hartman Rockefeller affair. This was
practically all the news there was bearing
on the market, The supposition OF influ-
entail leadership in the buying was based
on the fact that brokers credited with
being the accepted mediums of stock opera
tons by the great groups of capitalists
were open buyers on large scale OF var
ious prominent stocks, especially Union Pa
cific, st. Paul, Reading and Southern Pa
cific. With the appearance on the floor Of
any Of the brokers thus credited with i'm
portant affiliations attention would con-
centrate on their dealings and the crowd
would quickly become congested in their
nelghoorhood. Such condition explained
the rapid rise in prices of various stocks
and the sudden manner in which they
would start up into strength and activity
from comparative quiet In some of the
more dormant issues these violent upshoots
were followed by as sudden relapses, sug-
gesting the successful pursuit Of an un-
covered short interest in the stock
The engagement Of more gold for export
TO Germany and France was without effect
on sentiment, especially in view Of the
opinion OF Berlin bankers that the move
ment was artificial and at concession OF an
extra profit to those surrendering the gold

CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle were light
this morning as compared with a week ago
and year ago, there being a falling OF
OF over one-half AT the some time. there
VAS great plenty to supply the require
ments OF the market, the demand being
none too urgent
Buyers OF beef steers were out in the
yards IN pretty good season IN the morn
ING, and they picked up few Of the most
desirable cattle at steady prices. One
bunch Of very choice, well finished beeves
that sold a week ago at 1915 brought So 30
today. the market being on that particular
lot ibc higher. Aside from the few OF the
very best cattle, however. the market was
slow and lower. II would be well for ship
pers to thoroughly understand that the
commonsr kinds OF cattle, such as come
into competition with the low priced south
ern Texas cattle, are suffering severely,
many OF them 40c lower than a week ago.
The best dry-lot cows and heifers did not
show very much change, as compared with
Saturday, but the medium TO common
kinds. which were 30 much lower last
week. were again slow and very weak
today. Buyers did not seem 10 care very
much FOR them. and they were more or
less neglected throughout, The reason for
this is 10 be found In the increasing sup
ply OF cheap southern Texas cows. which
are coming very freely TO all the southern
markets, and are also finding their way

Corn was strong fran the start, open

Wheat opened easier and ruled dull on
