Prices fluctuated in | an unprecedentedly violent and erratic manner | i) day. The speculative spirit had apperently | run wild and no feats seemed too great 1o af t in the feverish imagination of the e cited speculators. Tre boldness and reckless- ness of the manipulstion have probably never beer equaled on the New York Stock change. and variations of a point or more be- | ween sales were viewed with as much equi- | namity as a fraction of an eighth in an or- | dinary market. Blocks of thousands of shares of stocks were tossed backward and forward #nd millions of doliars were ventured with no | more concern tharn though pennies were being pitched. News or actual conditions of proper- ties pleyed no part whatever in the specula- tion. The method of onerations was largely 0 follow designated leadership, A rudden and iolent advance in any stock Was sufficient (o atiract an overwhelming following. in which the scramble to buy caused a volatile rise, with quick profits for the leaders, Wwho ‘hast- ened 1o uniond Monday scemed a.remote 194 in the view of the speculators and r operations did not r to be destined to go Leyond the day's t ing.

H Speculation has been fairly rampant on the stock market during the short week and the violent price movement and the unprecedented volume of the dealings in the stocks which have held the foremost place In the dealings indicate wildness and reckless excess The | speculative fever is evidently widely extended | and the telegraph plays an fmportant part in the dealings. bringing orders to the Stock Ex- rices was change in immense volume from all over the country. A notable feature of the market is that the ftocks most prominently affected have been the high-grade dlvidend-payinc railrcad stocks. There have been many old rumors revived re- garding these properties to carry along the ad- | vance, but of actual news regarding them | | there has beer none of Imvortance and the | rumors have leen met with emphatic official | denials in.many Instances. These denials have | been tctally ignored by the speculators, who have continued to buy the stocks om an enor- | mous scale and to bid up the prices with reck- | less ccrfidancs then to cite the continued | rise in prices confirmation of *he rumors. The fucreasing ldness of the speculation has | been viewed with misgivings by many observ- ers, many of the more conservative com- mission houses have advised thelr customers to sell out and take their profits. But such | advice coumts for little when the selling is repeatedly followed by renewed buoyancy and further excited advances. The conviction has been, widesprend that much of the buying was for investment by bankers and capitaiists and ntatives of others seeking extension | OF interent g comrol wut T suppositjon | Cannot be verified in ahy suthoritative man: ner.
