NBy international News serEice.D
New York, June A-The stock mar
ket had a thunderous reaction today,
thus proving its professional char
ecter. The reason professionals gave
for selling was first the very good
reason that the market needed q re-
action and second that there has been
too much rain recently for the good
Of crops. Besides the market has been
forced upward in many departments
by sheer enthusiasm in the belief that
Il would help the liberty loan. The
loan Is now an assured success
Some Of the brokers who have been
foremost IN urging the purchase OF
,industrials have been taking pronts
In the last few days and they are now
urging their people to go into the
railways. Discovery that the govern
ment Is going to take entire steel
products has chilled enthusiasm.
Some specialties displayed unusual
strength today. notably Pittsburgh
and West Virginia Railroad and Beth
lehem Steel.

overwhelmingly in favor of n. declara-

against the United States a state of
war already exists.
