HEAVY SELLING ORDERS.
[by CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
(Reed) August 13, 11 a.m.) NEW YORK, August 12.
The heaviest barrage of selling that the market has seen for some time swept the list at the closing hour today, with extreme net losses of one to five dollars in pivotal issues, and more than twelve dollars in some recent speculative favourites. There was a drop of more than two cents a bushel on wheat and a sharp reaction in cotton. Bonds held fairly firm. The transactions totalled three and a-half million shares.
