NEW YORK, May 8.—The stock market continved the desultory Gecline which devel- oped yesterdsy and which was without special explanation beyond the dispositior. of the pro- ‘essional traders to sell stocks. The sharp 1ully @t the cicse in some stocks indicated that "he seliing had been partly for short aceount. Another professional party, when they ceived that the shorts were sttempting to er, endeavored to mark up prices This seemed to be the motive for the sdvance of 3% in National 3 erved, i 5 E ciseo apd the weakness of Rock Island in the face of reiterated assertions that the, amal- gamation of the companies had been com- pleted. The weakness of the stocks might be variously attributed to the failure of the ex- pected official announcement of the deal, to disappofntment over its aileged terms, . to profit taking on the completion of the deal or to surviving doubt whether the project would be completed at all. The Wall street public has been much bewildered over all the succes- sive developments in this matter.

There was some ground for supposing that the transactions were forced for this purpose.

Selling by scalpers on the improved weather conditions resuited in an easier tone after the opening, and July sold off to Tllac, but a good scattered demand from commission houses soon brought about a rally. There were renewed reports of damage from the chinch bug to the growing crop 4n the South- weat, and this, together with the strength at Minneapolis, added impetus to movement of prices, as did active covering by shorts, and prices continued to improve, the closing figures being at the top notch of the day.
