CONTOR1ED
Yesterdays Stock Market Gave An.
other Example of the Vio-
lent Unsettlement.

| New York, Jan. 27.-The violent
contortions in price movements of
stocks which have been characteristic
of the weeks market had another il
lustration today Yesterdays sudden
recovery was wiped out for the most
part and prices of some of the prin-
| cipal leading stocks were established
at lower records than in the demon
| alization Tuesday. The only news
cited to account for the heavy selling
was the French disaster by food.
| French bankers estimates of the
minimum losses, according to cables,
are placed at one hundred million
dollars, while the government Off
cial estimate is reported as high as
| two hundred million
These figures, appealing as they
are to the sense Of humanity, do not
offer an adequate explanation for any
great dislocation of economic finan-
cial agencies. The accepted indexes
|of conditions such of agencies outside
of the New York stock market, did
not in fact, mirror any great appre-
hension of serious damage The Paris
financial markets themselves are re-
ported tranquil Some of the days
selling of stocks in New York were
reported to be for foreign account,
but there was nothing TO show that
these sales were in unusual propor-
ton to the whole.
Prices of Americans in London, he
fore the New York market opened,
were higher generally than yester-
days last prices in New York, and
the first dealings here momentarily
responded to that example, 1t be
came quickly manifest however, that
no demand Of any account existed
here at he price levels established by
this movement in London and the VIC

The more general opinion of the
forces at work in the days market
was of an organized bear party, which
took advantage of the dying down Of
the demand at yesterdays recovered
prices, to put out fresh short lines and
offered prices down with great az
gressiveness. Not much opposition
was apparent to these operations. the
