MARKET BREAK
HELD TIMED
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, May 8 0.N.s0.
The market "got the works" yes
terday, and the selling in the later
dealings looked more like q eli
max than anything yet seen in
the decline Of the last two weeks.
There was a rally toward the
end, but this was half.hearted
and failed to arouse any enthu.
SiaSm.
The probabilities point to some
margin selling today, after which
a more vigorous rally seems likely,
particularly If there's q break in
the news.
It's curious that the current
break should be timed with Con.
gressional action on regulation.
But, then, Wall Street is Op-
posed to Federal supervision in
any form, and may be trying to
create an impression.
The Ioaning demand for a few
stocks after the close was the
first in months, and indicates q
rise in the short interest since the
April 80 report. Looks like battle
is going on to keep Consolidated
Gas from making a new bear
market low. It's too close for
comfort.
The news ticker that said some
Of the boys were looking into
Shellac, hit it on the head. In
fact, many a trader has taken q
bath" in it in the last week.
Usually smart commodity ira
ders are buying rye. Private esti-
mates place this years crop at
between 100000 and 10000, 900
bushels, the lowest in a hall
century and approximately S,0Oo,-
900 bushels under domestic re
quirements;. Chicago traders are
understood to be buying the dis
tant lard contracts on the expecta'
ton that the Governments pig
buying last year will be felt later
in 1884.
The tire companies are still pil'
ing up inventories, according to
trade sources. inventories at the
end of April are estimated at H.
900, 900 tires, the highest since June
1880. Republic Steel will report
net Of about $500, 900 for the first
half. Bethlehem is expected to
show something on the common
this quarter. Quarters close to Best
& Company are looking for q
boost in the dividend later this
year. On the basis Of 8 per cent
profit on gross takingS Best'S net
this year is estimated ct $S to
$3. 50 a share

Puerto Ric0n Sugar

Raw sugar shipments from

from January to May totaled
379,742 short tons, an increase Of

according to the New York Coffee
and Sugar Exchange. Refined

25.2 per cent increase over the
40,801 tons in the 1888 period.
Shipments Of raw and refined
