RUMORS FILLED WALL STREET,
 AN ALMOST HYsTERIcAL TIME.
Market at Times Bordered on Complete
 Generalization.

New York June 3.-They had an al- most hystcrical time of fl on the New York stock exchange today, and there were periods when the market border ed on complete decentralization. With few exceptions, lowest prices Of the year were recorded and trading for the day was in excess of 100000 shares, the largest days business in months. Included in the heavy selling of securi- ties were many specialties offered at marked recessions, while at times over for what they would bring.
 The movement was precipitated by enormous liquidation aided greatly by persistent short selling. Rallies were out of all proportion to the decline; and the absence of substantial support in such issues as Union Pacific, St. Paul and United States Steel was per- haps the most disquieting feature of the situation.
 Wall street was alive with rumors and reports. ranging from gossip of the political situation at Washington 10 all sorts of forebodings regarding the country's state of trade and commerce. Railroad heads here and fin the west were quoted in gloomy terms as pre- dieting sharp retrenchment and rigid economy in view of administration attitude toward increased rates.
 Crop prospects are considered high ly satisfactory, and money at this cen- ter remains easy, but the financial ds- arict, nevertheless is inclined to take a rather pessimistic view of general bus mess conditions. 1t is also argued by many that the steel and iron industry shows signs of arrested development
 Today's heaviest losses in the active issues were as follows: Union Pacific 3-z, Southern Pacific 8 1-2, Reading 3 1-2, Louisville and Nashville 31-4. St. Paul 3 8-4 Northern Pacific, 3-8, United States Steel Is, Annalgamated Copper s1-4, Consolidated Gas 6, Ann erlcan Locomotive {, American Car and Foundry 1-2.
 Elsewhere in the railway and indus trial groups losses of two to three points were general. London was a heavy buyer here during the early ses- sion, but was reported to have revers- ed it's position later, selling heavily of the Hartman issues and United States Steel
 In sympathy with the weakness in stocks the bond market fell on throughout the list.
