LONDON. March 23. The second eyries of

January level. Medium and coarse crosnbred
followed a like trend, declining 1015 per cent
below the first series, while the finest grades
remained about unchanged to 3 per cent lower.
Keen competition near the closing of the day
brought about a reaction and a general ad

BEAR RAID ON STOCKS
WEAKER CLASS OF HOLDINGS
SHAKEN OUT.
Health of the Market Is Considerably
Improved, and Substantial Re
covery Takes Place.
NEW YORK. March 23. Tho bear party
fell upon the .stock market in the early deal
ings today and raided prices In all directions.
The result was to shake out the weaker
class of holdings so effectually (bat the health
qZ the market seemed considerably Improved
ana mere was substantial recovery.
There was a very notable revival of some
of the rumors which- have figured in the
speculation for the advance when the check
to the decline was effected today. For the
few days past the market has been en the
down grade, and the interest in these rumors
has grown so feeble that it would be difficult
to understand the previous force they seemed
to have. On the recovery today the story was
heard of a coming merger of Southern Iron
companies, although new auspices for the
project were presented.
The professional element among the oper
ators eeemcd: convinced by the events of the
last few days that a considerable decline
In prices was before the market stilL This
served to encourage the organization of the
bear party and the -elaborate scale of opera
tions on which they proceeded. It was be
lieved from various indications and Intima
tions that very extensive liquidation bad
been accomplished already on the part of
those who had accumulated stocks on the
largest scale oa the score of merger rumors,
professed expectations of dividend increases
and other Influences which' had carried prices
to the excessive level before the reaction.
With this liquidation effected, it was assumed
that the market would, no longer have tne
benefit of the power of the organization cup
port which had guarded it until this specu
lative liquidation was concluded. The bears
were therefore hopeful of Inducing selling by
driving down prices.
The events of the morning proved tne justice
of their expectation. The extent to which
the reaction had run at the low level or tne
morning induced caution on the part of the
bears and prompted large covering of short
lines. The manner in which the rany was
extended also suggested that a considerable
element among the professionals had turned
to the long side of the market again on the
assumption ttiat the market was ripe for a
further rally.
The day's fluctuations were almost wooiiy
due to such considerations as these and news
of actual conditions bearing on values ptayea
little part in the market. The assembling of
the British Cabinet was made the occasion
fnr ih revival of neace rumors in tne -far
East. An increase in the dividend rate by
one of the great foreign capper companies
was a sustaining influence for Amaigamaieu
Copper. Tho dose was nnn ai aooui
XBonds were irregular. Total sales, $3,733,000.
