NEW YORK, May 18.—To-day ended on the Stock Exchange with bears apparently unop- posed and in complete possession of the mar- ket. They made a flerce attack in prices along the whole line in the final hour after evi- dences of realizing at varlous points in the list had become quite possible. The largest volume of profit-taking sales came up on the market after quite an extended list of rail- road stocks had been taken in hand and pushed | up to a decidedly higher level. This move- ment In the railroads continued after the lead- ing specialties had begun to go down, and gave a suggestion of a shifting of speculation by taking out profit from the speclalties and putting them into rallroads. But the rallroad list succumbed to the late attack, many stocks losing between one and two points, and Bur- lington dropping 2% below the high point of the day. Practically all the earlier gains in the rallroads were wiped out, though small net advances remalned in a very few case Prices were marked up at the opening to a commodate the outside public who were com- ing in to buy after yesterday's notable ad van The demand from that source was soon satisfled and prices yielded and the mar- ket fell into dullness at the decline. Losses were sharpest of course In those stocks which have been rushed up during the last few days. Railroads showed a pretty good resistance and Manhattan was notably strong, touching Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Mari which had hot moved in a long time, becan briskly active, the common stock rising 104, | and the preferred As the day progressed a large demand sprang up for Atchison pre- ferred, the grangers, Union and Northern Pa- cific and other standard railroad stocks. Very heavy blocKs of Atchison preferred were taken on the ri; and the price in a number of cases advanced over a point. enjoyed a gain 3% points. It was under cover of this movement In the railways that the realizing of profits in the speclalties was in progress. Nearly all the Flower speclalties, Sugar and Tobacco began to sag under the welght of the sales. In the attack which the bears were thus encouraged to make on the market, Sugar and Metropolitan Street Rail- way dropped over 7 points, Brooklyn Transit 4%, and a number of specialties 2 points or over. There was a momentary rally, but prices plunged downward again and the closing was very weak and unsettled. Sugar alone rally- ing over a point on the taking of bear pro- fits, but the prices gencrally ending at the lowest of the day. There was nothing in the general news of the day which seemed influence " the trading, unless {t might be & further hardening in' the rate of exchange, which continues to rise and is near the gold import point, in spite of-the continued ease of money, and the upparent abundance of funds, both ere and in the interior. 2 There was no diminution in the heavy de- mand for the new bond issues of me of the rallroads, notably the Central Pacific req ganization issues. Prices of railroad bonds held notably firm. Total sales $5.020,000. United States 3s advanced % In the bid price.
