Prices Melt Rapidly In Last Half llitar

NKW YORK. li,c trt-Thera was an
extraordinary melting swsy of prices In the
i;iki 11 11 1 r rinur or innay a market, following
11 marking up of 11 u.latlnns during the pre.
vliiiis in.rtlon of ihr srkkliin. Hlmrtlv be-
fme 2 3n prices were st the hlghrkt of the
nay, an. I lit I gains of i points or over had
In i n attained by leading slocks herp and
there In all the principal groups, such as
Pennsylvania, Huulhprn Pacific, Missouri
Pacific, HI Paul, Rock Island preferred,
Delawtrr A lliultum and Hugar. In the
last half hour St. Paul dropprd bark ab
ruptly 3V anil some of the other stocks
Were c:irrlnl swiftly downward. The In
trrprrtatlon of the movement was hellrved
lo be that the powerful Interests In the
llnancliil world, which annouticed their or
Kaiilsatlou yeMtrnlay ,for Hip protertlon of
the money market, rierdrpd to convey K
warning that they had no Intention of al
lowing those plans to be Intprfrrpd with.
Thrre Was more or less reallrlng before the
clnar by the profs slonal trsdrrs. who
lioiiKtit on yestrrday's market and early
this morning. Pervious to the ftnnl slump
the cuiiifp of prices was tpilte prosper
ously iiiwurd.
There were reports of sssiirsncpn re
ceived by the Btatp departmpnt regarding
thr Ititriitlons of ilrent Britain and tier
many In Vent'tllela, which tPtided to show
a bettpr feeling n that direction, but the
principal csnse of the rise was the re
assuring formation of the bankers' pool
providing $60. mm. lino for use In n ponnlhle
enirrgenry. The effect was to relieve thp
stock market. Offerings became light In
view of the fnrt that It wns found pos
sible to manipulate prices on vpry slight
purchases. This wns the notshle csne
among sump of the Inactive storks, among
which thp floating supply Is always light,
especially In the Vnnderhllt group. There
was some surprise expressed, however, over
the extent of the protpcllve measures taken
by the hanks. There the excess surmise
s a possible need for these measures,
which has not been disclosed, and a dis
position to" consider that the exlatence of
such a need was Indicated by the forma
tion of the pool. While It wns recognlipd
that no part of this fund would llkply find
its way directly Into the stock market. It
was considered iirobablo that further with
drawals of Ioiiuh from the stock market
would be avoided, owing to the unfavor
able sentiment which the heavy stuck llriitl
ilnllou hsa cutiscil. Thp principal good
which It Is hoped to achieve by the n
nouncpmpnt of the largp resources avail
able. In upon sentiment. Port of the pres
ent strlngrtiry Is undoubtedly due to the
withholding of funds by pprsons who have
become timid, or who havo dptermlnpd to
wait for high money rates before lending
their resources. Cnll lonn rates did not
grl nliove ij per cent today, and ran off
to below 5 per cent when the principal de
mands had been met. Time money market
wns also oiled easier In tone, although not
mu..;i1 Iv chiitigpti. Much satisfaction wns
felt, ' "-uise, notwithstanding the easier
tone money, sterling exchange rates

CATTU2 Thers waa a heavier run of
cattle here today than waa generally ex
pected and the trains were again late In
arriving. In fact' It was the middle ot the
forenoon before there were mouth cattle
on hand to attract the attention of buyers,
so that It was late before much business
waa transacted. When the market finally
opened, however. It was evident that buyers
wantea tne cattle ana tne prices paid could
be quoted fully steady with yesterday so
tar aa tne better grades were concerned.
There waa about the uaital proportion of
cornfed steers Included In the receipts and,
although the market was slow In opening,
Just , about steady prices were paid. The
warmed-up cattle were of course neglected,
the same as usual, but still even those
brought Just about the same prices that
were paid yesterday.
The cow market was fairly active and
steady. Packers seemed to want the can
tiers and medium gradra as well aa the
better kinds of cornfeds. so that sellers
did not experience much trouble In selling
out at steady price
Bulls, veal calves and stags did not show
enough change to be worthy of mention.
TheTe was a small supply of Blockers and
feeders In the yards and the demand was
also very limited. Very few buyers were In
from the country, so that speculators did
not care to buy any large number. The bet
ter grades, though sold without much
trouble at ateady prices, but when It came
to the common stuff sellers found It al
most Impossible to get a buyer to even
took at them.
There were not enough western range
rattle In the yards to make a market.

SHEEP There was Just a fair run of
sheep here this morning, but the quality
or tne orrerlnas waa far shove the average.
Parkers all had liberal orders and the
markrt ruled artlve and strong from start
to finish. Buyers were all out early and
the more desirable grades changed hand
Htioiit ns fast BR they arrived. Mauve
lambs sold ss high aa 85.26, yearlings sold
up to $4 40 and some prrte native ewes
brought $4 25. It was about the most satis
factory market from the sellers' stand
point that has been experienced for some
time.
The feeder situation showed but little
change. Thpre were very few feeders on
sole and prices for anything decent held
jiisi nnout steady.
