PRICES DEPRESSED.
Some Issues Reach Lowest Quotations
 for Fortnight,


 New York, May 3.-That portion of the speculative public which so stub Dornly resisted the rise of the past two months in the stock market today seized upon the sudden reversal in the railroad labor situation, together with a batch of unfavOrable railroad reports to depress prices. The selling was neither extensive nor precipitate until the final hour. when offerings fairly overwhelmed the market, and prices fell away until they represented in some important instances lowest prices of any day in the past fortnight. The decline was accelerated by moderate liquidation on the part of discouraged outsiders, who seemed suddenly to awaken to the belief that manipula- tion rather than actual conditions was the primary factor in the long sus- tained rise.
 In addition to the unfavOrable influ- ences referred to there were other de- velopments of a deterrent character, including over night advices from the flooded Mississippi section which pointed to further damage to cotton and other crops running into the mil lions of dollars. On the other hand, some encouragement was offered by the official statement from Washington dealing with this country's exports of manufactures in the current fiscal year.
