Bet!er Class in This Groii] Move Higher, hut th Weaker E?ouds Declino Strength in Covering -, Lacking tho Btiraulus of an importan ' now development in the* world outside tho stock market yosteWay yielded nl meist exclusively to-internal influences The vicissitudes of tho day's fluctua tions were confusing. Movements evei among closely related groups of secu ' litios wore contradictory, and the ir regularity that prevailed vitiated the ; day's transactions as useful indication ; of tho futuro trend in industry. What strength was revealed was cs scntially of a defensive character. Floo traders attempted several assaults 01 security prices, and, although some o them moved lower, the industrial stock held up against the attacks fairly well The impulse to rise, however, which re fleeted insistent short covering for sev ??ral days, yesterday plainly became weaker. In the railroad department there wai a more clearly defined cleaverage be tween the securities of high grade road r.nd those of the carriers of loss favor able standing, tho former rising and the latter declining. The collapse of the common stock of the Texas & Pacifie ( ompany was the immediate cause o i ' 't.tlement which radiated in varioui directions. Tho stock, which on Tuea ci?y eioscd at o7'.s, yesterday tumblee to 23^4, and then recovered to 25Vi Many unfavorable rumors accompaniee tho dramatic shrinkage of the marke' va uc of the security, but all of then were subsequently denied by an officei of the road. The a tion of the stock indicated thai the bears regarded it as in a feeble speculative pe sition, and consequentlj raided it. Short selling depressod thi issue to a level where innumerable sto] orders were rele? d, and tho gains o? many weeks were quickly effaced in ; ! few hn\trs. The previous low for tin ? year was 25, and tho high ... IT Pro? fessional operators for t e decline have been in quest of vulnerable places ir ' the railroad ?ist, because of its steadj : ; e since mid Stimmer. Simultaneous with the decline ir Texas & Pacific, Reading moved con spicuously in the opposite directior and rose above 100 for the first time ir three years. The swings of tho stocle thus far this year have been exceed ; ?ugly wide, and tho latest upturn was b? sed on the suggestion that furthei developments in connection with the cation of the coal property was imminent. Despite the action of Read? ing, commentators on the market ir c >mmission houses became move di? vided in their opinions as to tho im? mediate future of tho rails and not ? few who had been recommending them enl usinstically ever since the rato in? crease advised profit taking and some . became definitely bearish for the shorl ' pull. As for industrials, the recent temporary strength has originated from short covering mainly, and the outlook for the next few days is re? garded as uncertain. In the commodity markets tho work ; ing of familiar economic forces caused ! recoveries from the le>\v levels atta.io.ed earlier in tho week. Holders of cot f n grain and corn became less in? clined" to raise their products at pre? vailing quotations and shorts had, to bid thorn up some in order to covet their commitments. Tho speculative ; sellers became somewhat reared over the recommendations of Governor Al i i-, if Kansas, in respect to Invcstigat : ing bear pressure at the Chicago Board of Trade : nd also regarding the limita? tion of imports of wheat from Cai ada. , In the three principal groups of specu . lative commodities, quotations showed | gains for the day.
