SQUALL IN STOCKS played havoc nr hew yobk for A SHORT TIME. ALL kinds were affected. jmprovemest took place in many issi.es before close. p n v‘ Vet Chongres Reveal Few Gains. and Even Worst ol Losses 4 rr Coil fined to the Moderate Pro portions— During Part of Day Or. j,-rs to Sell Even a Few Hundred Mocks Could Only Be Executed at concessions of X to 3 Points, flew York. Dee. B.—A violent squall ewept over the stock market to-day wrought havoc while it lasted, which disappeared almost as quickly as it came. A review of the dap ? net changes reveals not a few gains, and even the worst of the losses are confined to the moderate propor tions. Unfortunately for those who sold their stocks, either from fright at the crumbling tendency of prices or from necessity to repay borrowed money, the final prices of the day by no means represented the prices at which the largest part of the day’s sales were made- There was a time during the mar ket when there was no apparent de mand for stocks at any price. Orders to sell a few hundred shares could only be executed at concessions of 1 to 3 points from the preceding sale. Col orado Fuel fell an extreme 11%; Amal gamated Copper, 10; Tennessee CX>al, 9k Lake Brie and Western, 8%; St. Paul 7%; Brooklyn Transit, 7%; United States Steel preferred, 7%; Su gar, 6%; United States Steel, 6%; Union Pacific, 5%; Missouri Pacific, 51s: Metropolitan Street Railway, 5%; Metropolitan Securities, 5; Consolidated Gas, Louisville and Nashville, 4%, and many others lesser amounts. Dig Drop iu Prices. These low prices represented a drop from the high level of this week on Monday of such figures as 24 for Amal gamated Copper, 21 for Colorado Fuel, lot* for Tennessee Coal, 11% for Unit ed States Steel preferred, 11% for Union Pacific, 14% for Sugar, 12% for Brooklyn Transit and 12 for St. Paul. The source of the selling was not ac curately known, and it seemed to come from widely distributed sources. The call money rate went slightly above the season's previous maximum —but as everybody was liquidating loans, the actual supply of cash was being replenished instead of depleted. The severe break in the foreign ex change market reflected a quick resort to that source of relief and there were large offerings of bankers’ finance bills in that market. London Bought Heavily. London's heavy absorption of our stocks on the break also made a large supply of exchange. The same was true of foreign purchases of cotton and grain on the break in those markets under the reflected pressure from the stock market. The extreme weakness of Amalgamated Copper had a reflex effect in the market for copper metal both here and in London. There was the usual gathering of "bargain hunters" on any severe break in prices of stocks and there was evi dence of investment buying of a more substantial and sustained character. The improvement in the health of the market by reason of the sweeping out of weak holders was very obvious in the late dealings. There was no se rious consideration of news develop ments, the speculative inflation and Its rupture being held to amply account for the break. Bonds Also Affected. The bond market was affected in sympathy with stocks, but in less de gree. Total sales, par value, $9,211,- Oflft. United States bonds were un changed on call. Total sales of stocks were 2,905,400 Shares. Including Atchison, 50,800; Bal 11more and Ohio, 32,700; Canadian Pa cific, 14,500; Chesapeake and Ohio, 13,- NEW YORK STOCK AND BOND UST Railroad Stock*.

B.—Transactions to-day were again on an enormous scale, considerably exceeding in amount those of yesterday, in the first hour there was a flood of liquidating sales which carried demoralization into prices and almost into speculative sen timent. The selling converged upon "Amalgamated Copper" In conse quence of sensational out givings of a prominent Boston manipulator. There was scarcely a rally of importance un til the decline of this stock reached 9% per cent, from last night, as mar gins ran out, or stop orders were reached throughout the general list. Price plunged downward violently, breaking half or one per cent, between sales. The chief sufferers were St. Paul, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Reading, Louisville and Nashville and Illinois Central in the railway list. In St. Paul the loss reached almost 8 per cent, at one time. In the industrials Sugar fell 7, Colorado Fuel about 10, Tennessee Coal and Iron considerably over 5 and many others 3@4 per cent apiece. The notable feature of the break was the rumors of Stock Ex change embarrassments. Call money did not rise above 4% per cent. For eign exchange was much lower, but steadied later. Before the noon hour the liquidation pressure showed some signs of relaxation. From 59c Amal gamated Copper rallied 3 per cent. It did not subsequently sell back to the lowest and finally advanced over 7 per cent, from the lowest, and closed with in a few points of last night. The list gradually steadied itself and in the last half hour became decidedly strong, with recoveries that in many Instances re-established quotations at or near last night's level. It was generally conceded that there had been an enor mous wiping out of accounts In com mission houses. London was a heavy buyer. The market closed active and stfclng. Total sales 2,888,106. We have the following from our cor respondent: We find on careful investigation amongst our friends this afternoon in the commission business, that the mar ket must be badly oversold to-night, and at least a rally should be confi dently expected, and probably some thing more than a rally. Lawson’s latest bulletin says: Keep your head with you this trip. Let the new comers tell what they know. Amalgamated supporters have more than they can take care of. The old time market for A. C. P. is forever done. When the public gets what I am going to give then on Copper, they will want the stock less than they did to-day. After this rally there will be much lower prices. Sell it and keep selling it. Miscellaneous.
