STOCKS DOWN And UP
Market Fluctuation Puzzles
ALI Observers.
NET GAINS AT THE CLOSE
Pressure 10 Ltquidate Follows Ad-
vance, but Upward Movement Is
Resumed Later, and Day Ends with
Favorable OutIOok-SteeI stocks
Are Heavy in the Morning.

New York, May 21.-Prices of stocks to-
day underwent constant and rapid
changes that were very confusing to the
$ greater number Of market observers. They
were not puZzling. however. 10 those who
with memories more than a day old bore
IN mind the recent prolonged and almost
unprecedented advance in market values
and the fact that this rise was due
wholly TO manipulation.
After a certain period In a market OF
this sort manipulation of another kind
than a more inesssant buying OF stocks,
is needed since a continuous uprush of
prices without a reaction comes eventual
" to create apprehension rather than to
inspire confidence and so hurts the mar
ket rather than helps it.
Forward Movement Continues.
To-day prices were opened little higher
than they closed yesterday, and for some
time something Of a forward impetus was
given 20 the market About the end of
the first hour after midday a general de-
clining tendency was exhibited. In this
period there was a seeming pressure TO
liquidate. the houses that have been the
largest buyers OF stock on the recent ad-
vance openly appearing as sellers, and the
result naturally was that the impression
gained considerable ground that the rise
was over and that a broad declining
movement IN the market had set n.
But at the time stated all this again
changed in a tWinkling. The houses
prominent in the trading. Of which men,
, ton has been made. stopped their selling
and again turned very large buyers; and
under their exertions there were sensa-
, tional recoveries in the price of nearly
all the leading and active stocks, which
lifted the quotations for them to levels
that approximated the highest yet touch
ed on the current movement
Gains at the Close.
Right at the close CT the market prices
receded a little. but were still such finally
as TO leave gains Of between one and two
and a half points in the principal shares.
If there was any news to-day that
would, under ordinary circumstances. le-
ultimately affect values it did not play
= any notable part in price fluctuations. In
the early morning the selling of American
Smelling stock was again noteworthy.
and was accompanied by a renewed cir
culation of rumors affecting the dividend
policy OF the company in the immediate
future So also Baltimore and Ohio com
mon stock was particularly heavy, the
fact being not ulogieally based on the
somewhat Unexpectedly poor earnings Of
the company in April.
The United States Steel stocks. though
rather heavy early, were strong later,
and there was something more than the
usual volume Of rumor as TO the decision
likely 70 be arrived at at the conference
held during the day Of the leading iron
and steel manufacturers. No conclusions
were reached at this meeting that was
made public during business hours.
