today offered the novel spectacle of n bear
panic and u bull panic In the pit side by

was tho Impelling cause of the demoralised
rush to sell other stocks, which was held
In cheek for a time after tho astounding
opening In Northern Pacific, but which
Knlned almost panic force in the late trnd

stocks were holding their ock tenaciously

i ne puuisumcni wnicn wns neing in
flicted on the shorts of Northern Pacific
was so distressing nn example as to keep
the bears in a timid frnmu of mind, and
they hesitated to attack the market. The
sjr.port which came In one tho opening dip
helped to encourngo the bulls and Intimi
date tne nears. nui ine uquiuaiiou seemed
so large that the bears took courngo and
nttacked the market after midday nnd se
cured rich returns. Scrutiny of a stock

whose declines extended to between 10 nnd
20 points, with the resulting wining out of
the ordinary margin. The chaotic condition

It came with n chilly shock to the specula

forces, which. It wns supposed, were cur.
nestly working In accord to secure n com
munity of Interests In the whole railroad
world, were In fact arraved against one
nnother In measures of bitter retaliation
and antipathy.
The Burlington deal, ou which such far
reaching conclusions hnve been based by
the speculators, was seen to be In Jeopardy.
Tt was learned that the level to which
prices li.nl uttalned had Induced Insiders,
presumaniy ncsi punicu ,,n win vniuo or
ilielr nronertlcs. to sell Sllfllclent hiiWIIne
to endnnger their control. This explanation
of tne compouuvo uuying wnicn nan in
duced some or tne recent sensntlonal ad
vnnces threw doubts upon tho whole series
of rumors of pluns for gient consolidations
and transcontinental combinations among
thu railroads, in ouier words, mc nromt
Intimation was carried by the disclosures
growing out of the Northern Pnclllc de
velopment that tho recent great buying of
stocks was for the most part wholly spec
ulative and wunoui me supposed oasis of
Investment purposes.
It Is not surprising, therefore, thnt the
shock of the Northern Pacific episode com
ing upon mis situation toppieu prices over.
Northern Pacific's skyrocket course this
morning to ISO, compared with 1434 at lust
night's close and 132 for tho Loudon parity
this morning, Is almost unprecedented lor
short time movements In the locnl stock
mnrket. This stock was un to that llcure
and back to the opening figure of 153 within
three minutes, it went ns low as us after
ward and as nign again ns I , . closing at
160. Tho close corner Into which the shorts
were crowned or course expinined tnis
movement. Among the severest sufferers
In the afternoon slump may lie mentioned
St. Pnul. which fell 19;. Union Paclllc 174.
Rock Is and 14. .Missouri Paclllc 15. L lilted

urook vn un a Transit iuvi. Kansas n
Toxas 10. Western Union 10 and other
stocks all the way up to 10 points. The
Una! rally reduced most of these losses eon
sideraniy, but the closing snowed specula
tive sentiment in mucn uisoruer uuii prices
wero breaking anew nt some points, wnue
rallvinir at others.
The excitement in the stock market dis
tracted attention from thu bond market,
but prices went off there In sympathy with
stocks. Total sales, par value, $4,U00MJ.
United States old 4s advanced k per rent
on the last call.

Its unprecedented penalties upon arm

Northern Pacific, has done the worst serv
Ice Imaslnahlo to the London market, tcr
rorlzlus speculation and howlng the deepest
distrust. The highest price for the slock

LONDON. May Si Money was very un
settled today nnd wns unable to free Itself
entirely from the .Bank of England. Tho
activity of Americans lessened nnd prices
were slightly better after the receipt of
New York's opening prices. There was
somo uneasiness regarding the forthcoming
settlement, in view of tho lurgc fluctuations
during the nccount. Canadian I'acincs re
acted sharply. Grand Trunks were easier.
Americans, after declining, following the
olllclal close, improved 50c to $1. Northern
Paclllc common reacted 13214 after touching
111. Southern Pnclllc went up to 55 after
touching 53V4, Union Paclllc common was
quoted at I.ti.

CATTLE There wns 1. good llbcial supp.y
of cattle hcr today and as Chicago was
reported slow una easy packers started In
hero to pound the marKet. Sellers, how
over, were holding for steady prices and as
a result It wus a little late before the cat
tle began to move toward tho scales nt a
very rapid rate.
Tne bulk of tho offerings as usual was
made up of ueef steers and the quality on
tho whole was cood. Packers, however.
began bidding all the way from steady to
a tilmo lower than yesterday, Hellers were
asking steady prices and In soma cases
they succeeded in getting them and In
others concessions had to be made. It was
rnther u.i uneven market, but could, per
haps, bo quoted Just about steady Mil good
stuff and weak to a dime lower in extreme
cases 011 the kinds thnt are not called
choice. The buyers evidently wanted the
cattle, but In view of the condition ot tne
markets nt other points they thought they
ought to got them a little lower hero nnd
for thnt reason were bearish.
There were not over llfteen cars of cows
nnd heifers on tho market today, but trndo
In thofce lines wns in about tho same
condition ns it was on beef steers. Some
sellers thought they had to take lower
prices, while others received fully steRdy
prices. The kind buyers wanted were prob
ably Just about steady, while others were
a little slow and weak.
Hulls, calveb and stags sold nt Just about
f.tendy prices it the quality was at all
satisfactory.
Stockers and feeders wero lower again
today ai tho high prices have rather shut
off tho demand from tho country and the
weather has also tended to keep buyers
at home. Prices on nil grades can safely
be quoted a qunrter lower than they were
last wcck. iicpresctuauve saies:
