Some Over Anxious Buyers Did
Some Very Rootless
Bidding
New Tork, Noy, 17.—Nothing in last
wenk'a excited market equal ed the sen
sational event od today’eatock market.
No such bulge In prices hae been wit
nessed since the bear panic following
the declaration or war with Spain,
The large number of orders today
eeemod to have no price limit, brokers
being apparently under urgent orders to
till them at any price
Anyhow, the effect of these orders was
like meal in water—the submersion was
too sudden, and after the steaming ebn
ltlon the vapors condensed and there
Wis a col lapse whiob wiped out the
greater part of the advance.
The lostabiliiy of the advance was
equally conspicuous and tho buyer*had
no eooner lifted prices by reckless bid
ding than the excitement was transferr
ed lo sellers, who pushed headlong in
to the scrimmage to catch bide at the top
By 11 o’clock the excitement bad
ended and quiet reigned, with prioea
only a fraction aboye last night.
The openings were “wide”, In maty
stocks; that is to say, sales were made
in the same crowd of one stock witb
widely varying prices.
In consolidated gas the spread was
7 points aad m Tennessee co.il and Iron
from 76 to 77 1-2.
Atchinron preferred and Union Pa
cific were smilarly affected to a less
extent.
