ALEXANDER G. McADIE, _Forecast Official. EASTERN MARKETS. F New York Stock Market. NEW YORK. May 9—There was further large liquidation of stocks in the market to. @ay and prices were at ome time from 1 to 2% points below last night for a large num- Ber of active raflroad stocks. Before the close of the market the losses were fully retrieved in many stocks and. in not a few of those which had been most acutely affected by the #elling small net gains were established. The late recovery was materially assisted by @ ¥ buoyant rise in Sugar to a level 5 above last | night, and by rather positive strength in the ncipal metal stocks. The appearance thus given was that of the competition of a spasm of liquidation and the subsequent covering of belated outstanding short contracts and a buy- ing of stocks by careful observers who had #to0d by watching for the low point of the market to get in. How well this appearance is justified by the actual conditions can only be demonstrated by future events. That there was & very powerful and skiliful manipulation in the market all day was clear from many Thursday, with showers 1in | n Te n that on secure That after = a tu covery Tt avallable was ds were af issues. & hic & Chicago & N Chic Rock Is CCC &St L ieva H ul prefd Paul & O - n Pa Southern Rail Wabash ........

Free de- Mveries of May contracts and a continuation of the heaviness in corn imparted a Iy B ditional weakness. Trade was cartafled. hee: ever, owing to the near approach of the Gov- ernment crop report and there was little effort made to take advantage of the situation until near the cloge, when a sharp break in the price of May wheat at New York izea olders of smail scalp purchases which were being carried here 1] ‘were immediately dumped, closing the market weak within & fraction of the bottom of the day range.

It was generally ex- pected that the sales would open at a further decline, which expectation was realized when on that day cables were received announcing declines of from 5 to 10 per cent and offerings of 260,000 bales. This decline has naturally {n- tensified the weakness here. Aside from the London sales the attention of the trade has Leen largely concentrated on the wool-growing districts, where there appears to be a deadlock between the grower and the buyer, and but very few of the new wools have as yet been purchased. In the local market sales have been very small and prices unchanged. London Wool Sales.
