WEAKNESS
WAS ACUTE
Bears Attacked Values With
Great Confidence.
MARGINS WERE WIPED OUT
The Drop Was Itself Motive of Large
Part of Selling, Shown by Recover?
ies When Shorts Went to
Cover.
(Ilv Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, May 28.?Tho stock mar?
ket developed acuto ?Aenkncss again to?
day. This was not a surprise in view
of tho halting and doubtful movements
which greeted yesterday's attempt to
put up prices. Thoro was evidence thin
morning also of pressure to soil stock
which encouraged tlie professional bears
to mako a bold attack on tho market.
Presuming on the urgent necessities of
riuniii-y holder? of securities, the bears of?
fered down prices, briskly nnd succeed?
ed In wiping out margins on speculativo
holdings nnd dislodging etop los? orders
which hnd evidently been freely playeo
nil through the market slightly below tlie
existing prlco level. The largo soiling,
which spread pretty generally through
tho list, was as little accounted for by
any news development aa that nf Inst
week, and of Monday. It was evident
that the fall In prices was Itself the
Blot Ivo for a large part of tho soiling,
nnd the manoeuvres of tho bears con?
duced materially to tho fall of prices.
This was mado clear by the substan?
tial rally In tlio last three quarters of
nn hour when the covering by tho shorts
to tnko their profits on the day caused
recoveries of from 1 to 2 points In the
frlncipal activo slocks. A notatilo cen
er of disturbance for tho whole market
wns Amalgamated Copper. Its declino
was shared in by copper securities all
over tho world, and a violent, slump in
tho prlco of lho metal In London gavo
color to tho suspicion, which has recent?
ly found expression, that tho metal mar?
ket wns uiieler manipulation for a riso
to nsslst in n speculation In copper se?
curities. When tho concentrated Helling
was detected the bears Joined freely and
attacked the stock fiercely. Rock Is?
land was unelor severe pressure all day
and the professional hoars were confident
In the supposition that largo ac?oounts in
tho stcok were in a vulnerable position.
Tho heavy selling of Union Pacific and
Its lack of support caused a bad Im?
pression. The samo was true of tho
abandonment of St. Paul and Pennsyl?
vania to the vicissitudes of the market.
The very strong tono of foreign ex?
chango gavo Intimation that further ex?
ports of gold aro likely. Rock Island
bonds were heavily sold. Tho bond mar?
ket otherwise waa Irregular. Total sales,
par value, J2,C5O,O0O. United State bonds
wero all unchanged on the last call.
Total us?as of stocks to-day were W,
600 fehares.

Wall Street Gossip.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspateh.)
NEW 3'???, Mny 28.?The opening on the
Btoek E-rrba-ige iva? decidedly weak, ai the
decline- in London had a depressing effect, par?
ticularly a? tt waa accompanied by a rumor that
nomo lar*? operator Id that market waa hurt.
The presauro on Itock Ilblnd wns an Important
Influence, and the stronger part of tho pro?
fessional element aeemed lo hare turned bearlah
on th- general list. The theory in Itock Island
was that ? larce bolder of the ?tock waa the
seller of St. Paul and oilier atoeks Id tbe recent
past.
AMALGAMATED COPPER:
A. C. P. was w?nk in the early market In
sympathy with tho decline In the copper stocka
In London. Tbe attempt to bull the metal has
never been looked uixjn with favor on the other
aide, and It is certain that the Rio Tinto people
bave not ensouraged American attempts to ad?
vance tbo price.
CANADIAN PACIFIC:
There seemed to be a fa!rl.T aggreaalv? bear
account In Canadian Paciflo, checked, however,
to some extent by tha difficulty In borrowing
tbe stock.
LEATHER COMMON RAID:
United Statea Leather common met with some
support, ?nd as the proposed financing baa heen
known for a month or more, It look? a? If thero
had been an organized raid in tbe rather weak
bull account.
MORNINO TRADING;
There? waa evidence of support In the first
hour, but thero ??'as vlpomus pressure from tho
professional element and what looked like West?
ern llipilditlon. London wns a noticeably heavy
seller, and this did a good deal to disturb confi?
dence, in view of tbo previously bullish attitude
of foreign speculators. London wan tbo heaviest
seller of Union Pacific, and was responsible for
tbe declino In the early trading.
MORGAN BROKERS TOOK ERIE:
It looked aa if the Morgan brokers were tak?
ing all the Erie atock offerings. A. A. riouse
int Co. gave ns good support as anybody nnd
bought some 15,000 shares all around the room.
BELLING WAS LONG STOCK!
Tbe re?oni eaiel thnt the selling of Rock Island
by Harris. Oatea A Co. and Coster, Knapp S?
Co. represented genuine long stock. On tho
other band, thero was a certnln section which
considered that the prie?? has beon hammered
for tbo aake of Ita effect on the rest of the list.
BT. PAUL'S EARNINGS:
Rt. Paul's gross earnings for April Increased
|40S,232; net Increased ????,??.
NO ATTEMPT TO SUPPORT:
Although there was some support the market
waa essentially weak, and no attempt waa mado
to do more thnn enpport It. There was pressure
from the lenellng traders nnd henvy selling for
London besides, while thero seemed to lie plenty
of stop orders caught on declines.
BOin 20.010 RUARES COPPER!
II. A. narrlsnn'a selling of something like 20.
000 shares of Amalgamated Copper wne credited
to the Lewieohua, ?vbo nppenr to have nhnndoneel
the attempt to establish higher prices for tho
metal.
LIVERPOOL OPERATOR LIQUIDATED:
Forolgn bouses report Ibut a Liverpool opera
tor of promlnece has been obliged to lleiuldate. ,
It la understood that bei ?vus hesvlly short of
cotton and long of Canadian Paciflo and the
?topper stocks.
MARKET NERVOUS: !
Thn market was decidedly nervous on (he
freight haiiilli-rs' strike, especially as one or two
conservative Wall Street men, who havo Just,
returned fmm tbo West, regard the situation
is very serious.
CURRENCY MOVEMENT:
The principal movements of currency for the
five days ending May 27th Indicate that the
banks gained ff501,600.

net unchanged to 7 pointa lower under disap?
pointing Liverpool cablea, full estlmatei for re?
ceipts and generally favorable weather. At this
level, however, tbe bulla again came to tho
support of values. Buying orders were received
from New Orleans, and this. In connection with
rather unfavorable) private crop accounts, parti?
cularly from Texas and Oklahoma, brought about
further covering by ehorts, w'hlch forced values
slowly upward until prices were net 2 points
lower to 5 points higher, July reaching 11.34,
and wim within 2 points of Its previous. high
level for the season, and August sold up to
10.84. Then came a considerable period of Ir?
regularity, with quotations showing little ten?
dency and trnele decidedly inlet, but In the hist
hour thla gave way to more active realizing on

morrows' receipts at loadlug Southern points,

A somewhat severe earth shock was felt

CHANGE IN
CONDITION
The Negroes Eliminated a
Northern Gatherings.
WHAT REV. DR. PITT SAW
Has Just Returned from Attending a
Meeting of the Baptist Denomina?
tion at Buffalo?Mado a
Report There,
To all Southorn peoplo It Is a striking
fact, and an Interesting one, reportod by
the Rev. Dr. P.. II. Pitt, of this city,
that the negro Is gradually dropping out
of sight in tho Baptist denominational
meetings hold In tho North,
Dr. Pitt has Just reached Richmond
from Buffalo, whore be went as chair?
man of an important committee to at?
tend tho annual session of the Northern
Baptist annlveraarios, which correspond
with the Southern Baptist Convention. He
returns rather amazed nt what 'he saw
and beard. Two years ago, when he at?
tended the same meeting In Bnrlngfleld,
the first thing he saw when ho entered
tho church wns a negro woman on tho
platform making a speech. She ?"?? from
Hartshorn "College, Richmond, 'and she
..as making fun of some Southern whites
to the great delight-nnd am.
the audience, which had scattered: through1
it a larpo number of noprors.
CONDITIONS CHANGED.
This year tho conditions were very
? much changed. During Dr. Pitt's slay-at
the meetings only two or three negroes
were present, and they were decidedly
relegated to the rear. There was but one
negro speaker, nnd lie was a preacher
from Virginia.. Bow AValker, held in high
estv-.m by the whiten In this senti oli fr.r
bis goodness of heart and his goodness of
sens*? as well. The striking contrast be?
tween the two meetings catisert Dr. Pitt
to Institute infinities, and he talked pri?
vately with a number of the most prom?
inent men present. The result was that
he cam'o away with the conviction that
Northern men are steadily eomlog over
to the Southern view of the n?gro prob?
lem. Every man to whom Dr. Pitt spoke
thought universal suffrage a mistake, and
expressed the belief that It was doing the
negro moro harm than good.
To find ono of the causen contributing
to effect this wonderful chango among
Northern Baptists It Is not necessary to
seek for. From Richmond to New Tork,
all along the coast, there stretches a cor?
don of Southern preachers who have be?
come pastors of Northern churches. A
great number of them are from Virginia;
tho majority of this number s re from
Richmond. Such men are ??t Boyco
Tupper, In Philadelphia; W. C. Bitting.
In Now Tork; T. B. Thomas, In E'<7.abeth
City; J. T. Dickinson, of North Orange,
and many othors.
REPORT ON PUBLICATION.
The chief mission of Dr. Pitt In Buffalo
was the presentation of a roport for tho
Committee on Publication, of, which ho
Is the chairman. The American Baptist
Publication Society divides Its -work Into
two branches?publication and mission?
ary, and It covers practically the entire
country. Each year Independent commit?
tees are appointed to'rovlow tha work of
the socloty, and of the erimmltt.ee for the
publication work nn editor Is always
chosen without reference to the section
of country In which he lives. This yenr
Dr. Pitt was elected to this Important
post. ?a prepared and read a report, fol?
?owing It with an address.
The work of the socloty was shown to
be In the most excellent condition. Its
book-store in Philadelphia Is one of the
largest in the world. Its missionary work,
which Is devoted largely to Sunday
schools, is most thoroughly done. Tho
socloty employs six chapel cors, -which
traverso the country, and also hns a
number of huge calportngo wagons, which,
loaded with books, go around in the coun?
try districts.
The most Important feature of the re?
ports submitted by Dr. Pitt was one which
resulted In a decision to abolish the gen?
eral book-stores In Atlanta, Dallas, St.
Louie, Boston nnd New Tork. At these
agencies the society hns attempted to
conduct p. genernl book trade, but has
done so at a loss. Hereafter they will
be toned down to simple agencies of tho
publications of tho society.
