SPECULATION IN STOCKS.
Continues Violent and at Very High
Prices.

New York, June 5. Speculative ac-
tiyity was again strongly IN evidence
at the opening Of trading on the stock
exchange yesterday Opinion in Wall
street today was that the present out
burst Of speculative enthusiasm Is not
due SO much 10 buying Of the general
public as it Is to the operations Of I'm.
portant financial interests and group
Of heavy operators, some Of whom were,
until recently, on the bear side Of the
market.
The continued ease Of money is Of
course large factor in the present
speculative movement as are also the
almost uniform reports Of improved in.
dustrial conditions and general belief
in the excellence of crop prospects. An
other important factor is the introduc.
tion Of American securities on the Paris
bourse.
Trading in the frst half hour yester-
day was probably well in excess OF 200,-
600 shares, with the Hartman and Hill
issues, Atchinson and the steel stocks
the most conspicuous features. Heavy
realizing for profits in the steel stocks
was reported, and this selling was re-
hected in the pressure upon these par
ticular issues on the stock exchange.
1t was rumored that private settle
ment OF some 10000 shares Of the u. s.
Steel common was effected for large
short interest, at a price higher than the
stocks has yet sold In the open market.
