MARKET UPSET BY
TOBACCO DECISION
Pressure Against Steel Re-
Suits in General
Setback.

New York, N Y May 31-The
American Tobacco decision and the re-
duction of prices of steel combined to
upset the stock market this afternoon
and prices fiuctuated violently.
Following the general rise in London
the market here opened with substan-
tiaI gains in almost all of the promi-
nent stocks with the exception Of
United States Steel and Anal gamated
Copper. BY the time trading was well
under way, however. the market be-
gan to show the effect of heavy selling.
The pressure, which was directed
particularly against United States
Steel. quickly resulted in a general
setback The most spectacular losses
occurred on the curb, where American
Tobacco dropped Is points during the
morning, to 425.
The losses were extended during the
second hour. Union Pacific Il points
and Reading 31s below their opening
prices, and United States Steel dropped
to points below Mondays closing.
Bonds were easy.
A further decline in American To-
bacco to AS placed 1t 80 points under
Mondays closing, at 102 points below
its record price Of last week.
The market closed strong.
The short interest covered extern
sively in the closing hour.

HANDSOME FIGURES

Few cities in the South or elsewhere can
boast the tremendous industrial and commercial
progress which is shown by statistics of Rich.
monds manufacturing and jobbing interests.
Usually, when a city stands forth as a manu-
featuring center 1t has little in the jobbng line
to pride itself on, and Uice Uersd. The capital
city of Virginia. however has jobbing interests
whose total almost equals that of its manufac-
lures While the Industrious 80 $50 employees in
the manufacturing establishments are busy sup
piEiag waiting markets the jobbing houses are
distributing to all parts of the country the pro.
ducts not only of the local factories but of 9TH
ers The total manufacturing and jobbing sales
of the past year was the handsome sum of 1851 :
772,126, $40 eel 40S being received for articles
and 81 1901 being received by the city's job
bling houses. The jobhing houses are the feed.
ers of commerce and those who do the feeding
get the profit
Commercial Richmond is to be congratulated
on the splendid showing for 1910, and 1t is to be
hoped that the figures just compiled by Mr..
Witty VIII serve but to point the way to the
real totals which should be achieved
