BEARS ATTACK
READING AGAIN

NEW YORK, May 2e.-United States
steel today followed the daily custom 1t
has established now by more than week
of example of selling at new high record
on each successive day. Yesterday and
today the addition to the record has been
only q and today this was accomplished
only on the opening sales. After that the
price moved with the rest of the market to
lower levels. Most of the proceedings OF
the day at the stock exchange consisted IN
trading Reading or in watching the trans
actions in that stock, which overshadowed
the whole market and weighed on it with
depressing effect.
The high price at which Reading has
sold relative to its income yield has been
pointed out often by those skeptioal OF
its rise. but followers of the movement
have given as answer the expectations Of
an important deal in the property, which
would rebound 70 the benefit of stock
holders. The very large selling orders in
the stock coming from single brokerage
houses gave the impression Of the liqrida-
tion of an important speculative account.
The bear party found the stock vulner-
able to attack and dislodged some large
stop loss orders at round figures in the
course of the decline. The decliee failed
70 develop the show of support usual in
a stock in which an organized long account
stands committed.
Announcement was made with some i'm
pressiveness of the agreement between the
Hill and Hartman interests for the joint
use of the Northern Pacific tracks beyond
Tacoma, and the importance of the agree
ment as guaranteeing against future in
vasion of each others territory by these
giant railroad forces was dwelt on with
some ostentation. Coupled with this an
nouncement was one that E. H. Hartman
had made his last visit to his Office before
his departure for Europe June l. The
announcement failed to stir a ripple in the
market.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par

OF the lost ground and closed only h@Ac below
the hnal figures of the previous day. May. how
ever, showed net loss of l sc for the day.
The principal factor in the situation was the
