LIBERAL LIQUIDATION
IN NEW YORK MARKET

NEW YORK. May 29.-This was a
bear day in the New York market, due
to number of reasons, the most inn
portant being a general profit taking
selling movement over the holiday,
which the bears helped along by fur
nishing much extra stock for the
market.
The situation in Russia as told by the
press of the day was far from encour-
aging. Indeed, thinking men have come
to fear the effect of the uneasy situa-
ton over there.
The selling movement started right
with the tap of the opening bell, and
while there were temporary rallies OF
II or even q of a point these were few
and far between. nor did they last
long, selling being quickly renewed.
Supporting Orders Evident.
That there were supporting orders in
the market was evident, and the
Strengthening of unimportant groups
of stocks for the purpose of giving the
list a better appearance was noticed.
Rails hardened for awhile under this
support. Paper common. Writing Paper.
Linseed Oil and number of unim-
portant industrials showed more
strength
The selling ceased during the first hour,
only to be resumed in the second. and con-
t1nued with increased pressure during
the noon hour. United States Steel lost
fun point, selling to 1919, as compared
with the low of the day, at 130B.
