NEW YORK, April 10.—There was a very wild market for Louisville and Nashville to- day and the ominous jumps made by the price in its convulsive advance to 120 this morning aroused unplessant memorfes of May 9 last vear when Northern Pacific was cornered, pre- cipitating the severest panic in the, history of the Stock Exchange. Many of the active oper- | 2tors in Louisvile and Nashville on the rise have fostered the supposition that a distressed short interest was aimed at by the campaign, The disposition to buy stocks was suddenly cooled and a preference for the selling side de. yeloped. The disposition to. sell was increased by another flurry in the money market during the afternoon and the selling movement spread throughout the list, carrying prices of the ac- tive stocks very generally between 1 and 2 points under last night. Stocks which hld been conspicuous for strength, notably South- ern Railway and Missouri Pacific, did not escape damage to some extent. In some cases the losses considerably exceeded these limits. | Louisville and Nashville alone of the prominent stocks continued to show feverish strength, rebounding from each successive reaction. ere was some covering by professional shorts | before the close, but the selling was actively | renewed and the closing was irregular and not | far from the lowest. The action of Louisy and Nashville seemed to indicate that a short | interest in the stock was feeling considerable | distress to maintain its position. The Wall | street supposition is plausible that the dispo- sition of the $5,000,000 new stock authorized | involved a short position in the market tech-{ nically, necessitating _the borrowink of the | stock #old until the Stock xchange authori- | ties admit the new stock to the list. Reports of buying for control by competing companies or of intended consolidations have all met with official denials. As a tactical speculative measure for inciting speculation elsewhere in the market the wild movement in Louisville and Nashville is a failure. During the first hour to-day over one-quarter of the total cap- | ital stock of the company changed hands and dealings for the day amounted to over half | the capitalization. Within three days the num- | ber of shares sold has been many thousand in excess of the total capitalization of the com- | peny. The i ghly speculative movement of | the market is therefore clear. The dealings in | Southern Rallway continued very large to-day in sccordance with the hypothesis of a contest | for control between the two companies, but it made no great progress upward and shared | in the late reaction. The rise | Missouri Pacific was ascribed to pool opera. = based on the evident working out of ext.. ns for the Gould system. The sensitive . tion of the money market was emphasized by the day’s announcements of a huge combination in the hardware trade, the undertaking by Amefican capital to finance the London traction improve- ment and the purchase by New York tai- | ists of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Rail- road, all rroln(nl’lg requirements for credits. Forelgn exchange declined further, Indlmuns further borrowing of foreign capital and ob- viating the chance of further immediate gold exports. Probably some of the late selling was Que to @ desire to close up accounts in ex- pectation of the Government crop report after the clésing. The bond market ylelded to realizing in sym- pathy with stocks and became irregular after notable strength in the recently active specu- | lative issues. Total sales, par value, $4,975,000. | United States bs advanced 3 on the last call. . NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Stock— Sal Atchison . Atchison pfd. Baltimore & Ohio.. Ealt & Ohio pfd.

Little and MecCaskle are supposed to be two of the men who have been as- saulting drivers of milk wagons because they had resigned from the union or re- fused to join it. Monday morning about 2 o’clock’ Little and McCaskie attacked J. 8. Perry, driver of a wagon for James Miley of the Main Dairy, on Tenth and Howard streets, while he was delivering milk to a customer at Sixth and Natoma streets. They emptied all his milk cans and beat him on the head and arms with the empty cans, threatening to kill him unless he rejoined the union. Perry swore out warrants for their ar- rest, and Wednesday night Detective Graham and Policeman Evatt, accom- panied by Perry, arrested them on Turk street, near Mason, where they were hiding in a building in course of con- struction, evidently waiting for some milk wagon driver. Little told the officers that he was employed collecting dues for the union and to get new members. Mile: is determined to prosecute them, so as to 'put a stop to the attacks that have become so frequent, another of his driv- ers having been threatened. | BBl g8 g2 & Co.
