STANDARD OILS SUCCESS HELPS
spasmodIe Advances In First Hair Of
sssslon-Asavy Realizing Apparent
-impressIon Gained Ground That
Unstable Forces Were At Work.
by Associated PresS.I

NEW YORK. Jan. "A very
heavy speculation miscarried by the
loss OF the Consolidated Gas suit to
overthrow the New York state law
limiting the charge allowed to be
made for Illuminating gas In New
ork city to 80 cents per 1000 feet.
The abrupt announcement that the
company had lost Its suit threw the
holders OF the stock into q panic and
an almost perpendicular drop Of Is
points by intervals Of as much as Ave
points was the consequence. So Vio-
lent q movement even IN a single
stock could not be expected to leave
the general market unanected BY
sympathy The movement through.
out the morning had been feverish
and unsettled. marked by spasmodic
advances In selected stocks accompa-
MED by heavy realizing under cover
OF the sustaining influence Of these
advances. The methods seeming to
incite these advances a"d the inspira-
ton for the allegations on which they
were based had a disquieting ehect
on speculative confidence and gave an
impression of unstable forces working
for the advance. The gains as an In
cident proved the decisive factor In
determining the shifting tide OF that
sentiment. The immediate force OF
the gas case was modified by the
way left open for q renewal Of the
suit, and was partly neautra'ized by
the clinching of the Standard OIL
