STOCK MARKET REVIEW
General Break in Prices-OnIy
Weak Rallies.

Saturday the tone of the market was
not defined sufficiently to warrant an
ANALYSIS which would indicate its &C
ton yesterday. But now the story mas
been told, and there are some who nave
paid the price to stay for the big show.
Just what caused the break. whether
Il was simply bear selling concertediy OF
was brought about by some forced lqul-
dation, cannot be told. but it probably
was the result of both factors. That the
solid support so evident at times during
the last few weeks was absent Is best
deduced from the minus signs whlch
mark the records OF the Stock Exchange
at the closing hour yesterday. There
were some attempts at rally, ana
shortly after . o'clock some courage
among the bulls was stimulated when
the best rally of the day occurred. But the
arena was the scene Of another charging
of the bulls by the ferocious bears, and
the bulls fell back suffering defeat as the
last trade was called just as the master
of ceremonies sounded the gong. After
the battle the list showed losses of SIS
points on United States Steel common.
On points on Sears-Roebuck, Ia points
on Amalgamated Copper IA points on
American Can common, IL on American
Smelling. and other losses ranging along
the same ratio among active stocks.
There were few inactive issues that
carried the plus signs at the close Of the
day. but they signified nothing as indi-
eating any strength or support.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-05-07

To-day there are two events when
will interest Wall Street. One is the Of
fering Of S65,OOOOOO New York City
bonds and the other is the governments
crop report. Inquiry among the bankers
allows the prediction that the city's
bond issue will be we'll received, which
fact, II established. will have soothing
effect on Wall Street. The other. the
crop report, is expected to be more IA
vorable than the various sources Of crop
information have been sending out, ex-
cept in the instance Of Secretary CO.
burns Kansas report. A few weeks ago
there was a general wall that practically
all the winter wheat had been ruined, but
sentiment on the crop situation has gone
through a process of Kaleidoscope turns.
and now the picture Is brighter. Since the
market has had some shaking up and a
slight settling, there may be some favor
able movement on the bull side, but as
We have said before, there are some
questions affecting the railroad labor
situation and the miners conference
which should be awaited for final adj
justment before a real bull run may be
expected.
