THE MARKETS GENEROUS RECOVERY FOLLOWS OPENING WEAKNESS LATEST STOCK, FXOUR, FEED, GRAIN AND PRODUCE QUOTATIONS. Philadelphia, June 3. It was a day of many changes In stocks. Marked weakness took possession at the start, only to be followed Tty a generous recovery near the that brought the whole list back above last night's level, which meant gains of 14 to 2 per cent, from the low, but at the last minute came another 'sinking spell, Union Pacific breaking under a stream of offerings from 150 to which figure it had rallied only a quarter of an hour before, to 148. The late reaction came in spite of definite rumors that the road had closed negotiations for a sale of $40, 000,000 bonds.

A chill passed over the stock market at the opening. It was directly caused by London's weakness and selling from that quarter, attributed to the cut in steel bars yesterday, but this was not the real force at work. Some one let loose a large amount of stock at the one big floor trader being credited with sales of 75,000 shares. This aroused suspicion and a decline of Vz to 2 points occurred within five minutes, Union Pacific suffering; most, but the same powerful support that came to the rescue on all late breaks, appeared at the critical moment and distributed buying orders that carried this market back again, though on the rally a tendency to become dull was observed Rumors elating to' Union Pacific financing were freely circulated. It Was said that negotiations had been closed for the sale of $40,000,000 of 4 per cent, first mortgage of which 60 per cent, would be taken abroad.

What basis there was for this did not develop up to the close, but it was followed by a hardening in the stock and a general betterment in the market, though business fell away rapidly, less than 70,000 shares being dealt in between noon and 2 o'clock, whereas 504,000 shares appeared in the first two hours. The Union Pacific rumors took more definite shape later, and there was reason to believe official" announcement will be made tomorrow. Little else but the cut in bar steel was talked of and the Street was much confused as to its real import. United States Steel common lagged throughout the day. It is far.

from a bearish argument when a commodity is marked down to a level where the trade is ready to place orders, but refused to enter into contracts at the old level. The meeting of these conditions is the natural way to stimulate business, but what the Street disliked was that the reductions have been made in the face of repeated declarations that prices were to be maintained. The ability of the trade, however, to promote harmony of operations was never stronger, and it can be counted upo nthat the market will be readjusted to meet the emergency without any difficulties arising. Doubt over the! American Smelting dividend was settled by the declaration of the regular rate, but the American Car and Foundry cut its quarterly dlv idend frdm 1 to of 1 per and the stock opened off a point. In the afternoon New York Central took the Street by surprise with a gain in net earnings for April, though gross showed a shrinkage of $1,257,000.

The stock was not affected. When at 2.30 o'clock Union Pacific got back to 150 after its slump to 147, prices went to the highest of the day, but failed to hold. A story was current in the afternoon of an extraordinary centract being placed, with the Unite States Steel Corporation by the Russian government. The fact that the latter is arranging for a $100,000,000 internal loan dovetailed nlsely with this rumor. As to the character of the market, here are some facts that give food for thought.

Yesterday at New York, slightly over a million shares were traded in, nearly 418,000 in the first hour, but between noon an dl o'clock transactions droiped to 72,000, and the final summary Drought the total for three stock, ReadingUnion Pacific and United States Steel common, to 540,450 shares, or more than half of all the day business. With the revelation, no further comment is needed to prove the professional control of the market. The same stocks, with the addition of Amalgamated Copper, have been responsible for 40,000,000 out of 75,000,000 shares recorded in Wall Street so far this year, which means over 53 per cent. Practically three men are supposed to dominate the market for these (hares. They are: Messrs.

E. H. Harrlman, H. C. Frick and William Rockefeller.

The Street believes they have been the leaders of the bull movement, but these men do not take the public into their confidence, therefore deductions must be made by Inference. The fact that stocks not under the sheltering wing of this formidable coterie have not participated to any such extent as those named, carried its own comment' Yet there is no gainsaying that the movement has been beneficial It has strengthened confidence and the business situation has finally reached a stage where manufacturers, farmers and merchants see wholesome condition Just ahead conditions that Justify, greater stability in securities A resumption of liquidation In street railways was the incident of import in this city. Resultant sharp declines in these stocks as a sequel to the fresh outcropping of sales, together with the less favorable position of shares in Wall Street, engendered a uniformly lower range of prices. Unsteadiness was in evidence from the start, but it was only in street railway Issues that offerings succeeded In making Inroads of note, Philadelphia Rapid Transit going off to 14, and Union Traction 1 to 50. This was the lowest figure touched by the former since the end of January, when It was 13.

What precipitated today's break in Rapid Transit and Union Traction could not be learned, though it is known that stock in quantity has been hanging over the market for some time, and the inference is that orders were given to market it regardless of results. Buyers and sellers of both issues were closely watched, and the Street regarded the purchasing as being much better than the selling. Less than a half dozen houses figured in transactions In Rapid Transit, and one of these took more than half the total offerings, whlchmounted to about 6,000 shares. Dealings in Union Traction were more "widely scattered, with not a little of the purchasing being for Investment Minor fractions sufficed to measure recessions elsewhere. This was because of the small amount of stock that came out.

Lehigh Vley had the greatest volume to contend with, and ylt It only reached 1,000 shares. Under this the price ran off 1 points, while United Gas Improvement fell back M. on sales a third less. Tonopah Mining was one of me nnesi securities on the list, it holding around 8V4 throughout. Toward tho end the market took on a brighter appearance, but final figures were Kener ally lower.

Rapid Transit was as strong in tne arternoon as it was weak previously, Its morning loss being cut down to a small fraction. Union Traction, in contrast, juled heavy until the end. FLOUR. FEED, GRAIN. PRODUC.

While pet ting his favorite horse on the lawn at his home in the suburbs yesterday afternoon, Prof. W. B. D. Travis, author and artist, received Injuries which may prove fatal.

The animal seized its master's lower Jaw between Its teeth and with a vicious Jerk tore away the lower Up and the flesh from the chin. Prof. Travis, unable to speak, sig nalled to farmhands, who rushed up to beat away the animal, that the horse must not be unkindly treated. Then he fainted from the strain. Physicians who were quickly summoned fear the shock will hinder recovery.

Members of the Travis household say the animal was a trick horse and that Its owner had taught" it to kiss those about the farm by rubbing its nose against their chin. Prof. Travis had been feeding sugar to the horse when it attacked him. The injured man won fame as a painter of horses. He had a studio on the top floor of his mansion, wlth.a special elevator to carry equine subjects to his sketching room.

In the Civil War Prof. Travis was an artist and newspaper correspondent. Ho has written and illustrated several books. GRADUATES TOMORROW. John Lelnbach Schaffer, son of Mr.
