NEW YORK, March 10.—Wall street made another sudden reversal of sentiment to-day relaxed into gloom. After yesterday's strong recovery there was a feeling of great re- lief and a disposition to take roseate views of acilities at hand for the money market, but it began to appear to-day that the sweeping up of the new resources brought within reach of the local money market by the rise n inter- est rates Was £oing on at too rapid a rate and it could not definitely be extended. The large reduction in the outstanding short interest af- | fected by vesterday's enormous buying |to cover short contracts also deprived | the market of a_ very important sus- taining force, Sentiment accordingly shified to the side agaln. The con- ditions were of yesterday, parent to ali suggestions of possible difficulties. The shifting rumors regarding the alleged con test between the speculative pool in Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific holdings of that £tock were made the instrument of extensive serations, Last night's rumors that an agree- bear tradicted and vesue intimations were thrown | cut of coming hostilities which would threaten | | demoralization to the stock market. The affair offers little in the way of substantial informa- | tion and does not reach beyond the realms of speeulation. Of more substantial character was | the resumption by the banks of the calling of | lcans. The violeni break here and there among | some obscure stocks suggested also a process of weeding out the undesirable collateral. The slump in the American Ice stocl Was ex- plained by the differences developed at the an- | | nual meeting. The break in the common | reached 43 and the preferred 10, with rallies | | of 13 and 314, respectively. This incident and | the rajding down of Metropolitan. Street Rail- points caused an unfavorable im and led to the first yiolent dccline. ai market had fallen inti | dition. ession er the throughout the except that Southern Pacific and Unlon Pacific continued very con- epicuous in the speculation. The free selling all day by the bears led to a substantial rally reaching belween 133 and 2 points in the last hour for the mctive speculative leaders when they covered their shorts. The exhaustion of the demand at igher level, however, prompted renewed seiling. St Pgul dropped | abruptly to 166%, the market quickly crumbied | was very active and weak. was also notably made upon it. ing 6 per made above that New York Central vulnerable to the attack cent and some loans were rate, but the ruilgy rate | The drop to below tHat rate after the principal demand had been satisfied was without special significance. The recov ery in foreign exchange and the rise in di counts at London were highly significant an low an undue resort to foreign credit facilities, Another evidence of the dominance of the money situation was the _sensitiveness of speculation in which payments are to be made to the Panama canal stockholders. A formulated re- port of the intention of the Secretary of the Treasury to draw on Government deposits with banks to the extent of $20,000,000 to $25,00 000 for this payment ageravated the market's weakness. Amalgamated and American Smelt. ing showed some strength on the advance in copper and lead and Reading made a tem- porary sdvance on a denial of rumors that the miners were to be put on short time. Bonds weakened in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, £2,525,000.
