STOCK MARKET A
TRIFLE WOBBLY

NEW YORK, May 12.-There were SEN
sational features in today's market, but
the failure of the general market to
respond 70 the extraordinary movements in
special stocks was its most remarkable fea-
ture. Spasmodic starts in one stock and
another developed in succession, but in the
intervals the market lapsed into dullness
and apathy.
The effect was to suggest an artificial
character to the market, which caused
some suspicion and distrust. Reading was
the central figure in the days dealing, and
its fluctuations were violent and frequent
in its fights TO new record levels with the
exception Of its rise to 164 in January,
1906. The high priced coalers showed close
sympathy with the resulting movement and
rumors were abroad that some important
developments affecting the interests of
stock holders were near at hand.
Allusions were circulated of conference
of a counsel for the companies and of
the coming departure for Europe of the
head of the Reading organization. The
hrst jump in the price of Reading found
other favorites of the traders sluggish and
unresponsive. When this was corrected by
an aggressive advance in Union Pacific
Reading slipped back over the whole Of
its previous upward course. Then again,
when Reading was pushed to a new high
level Union Pacific lost all of its advan-
tage, giving the appearance of unavailing
efforts by the supporters of the market
to keep the whole list moving together.
Belief that the market was being manip-
ulated TO cover the real nature of the oper-
ations going on unsettled confidence.
Buying orders from abroad outnumbered
the selling orders and the London market
showed growing disposition to speculate,
preferring the kafhr mining stocks as a
medium.
The strike of French government
ployes was of no apparent influence in the
markets There was an engagement of
$500, 900 in gold bars here for export to-
morrow to Paris.
The banking situation is bound to give
Importance to fluctuations in supplies of
bank cash. The surplus reserve of less
than Sc, 600, 600 of the clearing house banks
is on q volume of deposits reaching 81 $780,
1s5, 900 and of loans of $l,S46, ,4s4, 900,
both of which are near the highest ever
reached by the clearing house banks.
The demand for loans meanwhile is in
creasing, especially for fixed periods, and
the supply offering is reported by brokers
to be growing less. Commercial paper is
also growing more abundant. Heavy is
sues of proposed railroad securities re-
main to be financed. The call loan branch
Of the money market remains tranquil.
Attention was attracted to assertion of
an influential banker that the speculative
deal in the wheat market was financed,
not in Chicago, but in New York. The
late tone of the market was greatly
settled and the closing tone irregular.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, S7,2s2, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

terday and the market. which had previously
been firm. developed additional strength, extras

New York Mining Stocks
Boston Stocks and Bonds

BOSTON. May 12.-Interest in the local mar
ket smaller today, but the coppers would
have done well II It had not been for the de-
pressing influence of North Butte. Almost all
local traders have North Butte and the slump
has made them all nervous and afraid TO trade.
Long stock continues TO come out and the re-
ports regarding the property are very conflicting.
The balance of the list showed change worthy
OF mention.
