Crasn 81, s;urhs-WatA strses An "a
Panic.
NEW YORK, Nov. 81 The
greatest excitement prevailed on
the Stock Exchange this morning,
and at one time serious panic
seemed inevitable. The scene on
the floor of the Exchange was most
tumultuous, and the rush to sell
stocks was so great that prices fell
three and four per cent. at time
until before half an hour of busi-
ness had been over, Delaware and
Hudson had declined twenty per
cent, and the remainder of the list
all the way below fourteen and one
per cent. The men who are cred

Jay Gould, James r. Keene, Rus
sell Sage and Addison Commack,
aided by outside spectators, who
rushed in and let their stocks go at
any price, fearing lest q general
panic would result in wiping out
their margins entirely. Many fail
ures were expected from this great
fall In prices, but up to the present
only one has been reported. Edward
Livermore, 35 Broad street, suspend
ed this afternoon and notified the
Exchange of his inability to meet
his engagements. About the first
call there was a sharp recovery of
ten per cent. in Delaware and Hud-
son, and the general list rallied one
to six per cent, but this was suc-
ceeded by another attack shortly
after midday, and quotations again
took o downward turn. Between
two and three o'clock the depress-
ion In stocks continued; auctua-
tions have been wild, and great
Jumps of two or three per cent. have
occurred without exciting comment
or surprise. Kansas and Northern
Common Topped down to 81 and
Iron Mountain to "a, and still no
more failures were announced. Ed
ward Livermore, who suspended
this morning, has been member
of the Board for many years, and
his house has always been regarded
as a safe one. 1t was explained at
his office that the cause of the fail
ure was due to combination of
circumstances likely at such time,
namely, a general decline of ten
per cent. AMI Indifference on the
part of customers to respond with
promptness on call. Livermore is
q gentleman of wealth, but pre-
ferred to close his doors rather than
suffer greater loss. He regards his
suspension as only temporary, and
will resume as soon as the furry Is
over.
