SHARP REACTION AT MIDDAY Heavy Selling; ta Stop Losses Farther fasettl Tradlasw-Cloe I Strong, bat Lass I Not All Regained. NEW YORK, May SO. The feverish ac tions of today s stock market served to confirm greatly the views of the specula tive element and in consequence served to intimidate the less powerful class of oper ators vbu saw prices moving in mercurial fashion, apparently at the will of hidden forces whose action could not be followed and whose motives could not be fathomed. That operators of powerful resources were using violent manipulative measures to ef fect the wide and sudden fluctuations in prices was patent even to superficial ob servations. The constant contrast In these movements might leave open a hypothesis of arti ficial support for the purpose to realize profits or sudden withdrawal of support and forcing back of prices to shake off the weak following which has trailed onto the speculative movement of the more power ful bull party. With growing Interest of the outside speculative element, made up of Individuals of smaller resources than those who undertake to inaugurate a speculative campaign, the bull position has grown in creasingly. The number of buyers on mar gin unable to hold any considerable de cline haa grown.. Moreover, the extent of the advance nas begotten a spirit of cau tion which make the holder of stocks on margin quickly retreat and throw over his holdings on any sign of weakness. As a safeguard ot their position speculators have been placing atop loss orders to sell at a certain price slightly below the mar ket. With the market honeycombed with such orders, such sudden relapses as those late yesterday and midway of today' ses sion become likely. The early part of the day waa given over to a laborious repair process of the Inroads on prices effected yesterday and eerly today. The sensational advance In Missouri Pa cific and the response by sympathy of the whole Oould group waa the effective me dium for supporting prices during this at tempt toward a rally. Mysterious allusion to the Oould railroad enterprise involving financial support from the wealthiest In dividual capitalist made up the motive power of this movement. Efforts to secure authentic confirmation or denial of these rumor were fruitless during the stock market session and they were left In the realm of conjecture. The new to account for the break In price waa of a similarly shadowy ktnd. The usual whisper of trouble circulated on the floor of trie Stock exchange, which are an Inevitable comple ment of any sever decline in th prices there. Th particular weakness ot Ameri can Smelting was due to implied doubts of the maintenance of the dividend on the stock. Whll price were breaking, senti ment ahowed aom sensitiveness to report of another cut In cotton goods prices, by western interests, which have moved ag gressively towards concessions from manu facturers ever since the business reaction et In. Additional engagement of gold for export Indicated the unimpaired force of the demand on New York for the metal. The New York bank also are preparing to meet th call for repayment of 326,000,000 of government deposits, which falls due on Saturday. The money market was not perceptibly affected by these developments and nothing in that department explained the uneasy and unsettled stock movement. Last prices were generaly below those of last night, but the closing tone was strong and at substantial recoveries from' the lowest price of the day. Bond were easy. Total sales, par value, 33,440,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. Following were the sale and rang of price on tne Btoctt exchange: saiM. Higa. bow. cioe.
