New York, March I6 The widening
Of the field of labor troubles, reflected in
demands for increased wages in various
new quarters, caused continued uneasi.
ness in the market, snd the tone was
generally feverish and unsettled. Price
changes in the majority OF issues at the
opening and in the early trading were
again in the direction OF substantially
lower level, although stocks in which
there was active speculative interest
made slight gains on the initial trans
4ttions.
Rumors that J. Pierpcnt Morgan, who
is trvelling in Italy, was seriously i'll,
was circulated on the stock exchange to-
day with the eviden. intention of caus
ing activity on the bear side. Despite
absolute denialf, from Morgan's Office,
the rumors were temporarily successful.
Owing to the temporary slump many
stop orders were executed, which added
to the downward trend. BY noon sub
stantisl recoveries had been noted in
nearly all of the active issues and then
the market become stagnent. the deal
ings being confined mostly to the pro-
fsssional element.
