NEW YORK. March 5. Stocks broke badly today on the heavy outpouring of liquidation from all quarters. There was a well-ccntored bear attack on a number of stocks, which have become Vulnerable by the building up of extensive pool ac counts and manipulation in the market. The dissatisfaction over the money out look, the continued withdrawal of the banking reserve and the necessity of scal ing down credit accounts to keep pace with the declining reserves were respon sible for most of the selling. The unstable condition of stocks devel oped last week caused widespread dis trust and was the cause for sending out. large additional margins on speculative holdings. Failure to respond to these In duced throwing over of some holdings by commission houses. The battering down of prices by the bears had the effect of exhausting mar gins and uncovering stop loss orders. The weight on tho market was thus increased. Lenders of money also exercised increas ing discrimination against some stocks whose market position was distrusted when they appeared In collateral for loans. Reading was especially weak, and fell nearly six points below Saturday dur ing the morning. Northwestern was down six points, Northern Pacific, Amalgamated Copper and Sloss-Shcfflcld Steel 314 to 3, Colorado Fuel 4V4 and Union Pacific, Illi nois Central, Delaware & Hudson, Si Paul, Atlantic Coast Line, Smelting, Gen eral Electric, Hide & Leather preferred and some qthcrs .from 2 to 2i. The average level In the whole list yield ed between 1 and 2 points. Tho occasional rallies in the market were due to hasty proflt-taklng by the bears by buying to cover. Tho liquidation continued intermittently during, the afternoon at .an extreme de cline In Reading of over S points and in Amalgamated Copper, Locomotive, North- era Pacific and Great Northern preferred of over 4 points. Anaconda was carried down 16 points. The determined resist ance of Amalgamated Copper at par seemed to mark tho limits of the decline. and there was a jgeneral rally later in the day, when the" shorts began to cover to take profits on the day' movements. The market was quiet and showed evi dence of returning strength In the latter part of the day. Break Reflected Jr Boston. BOSTON. Muse.. March S.

The coalition gives signs of crumbling-. Baron BanfCy. one of Its leaders, in a letter to Francis Kossuth, announced his secession as a protest agalnt the coalition's professed desire to abolish the dual character of the mon archy. Baron Banffy contends that the European balance of power requires a strong state on the Danube, and that this would be Impossible under the system of personal union of Austria and Hungary advocated by the Independents.
