headquarters.
ON WALL STREET
News down town was received with
CONSERVATION and caused much excite
ment On Wall street brokers and bank
ers almost forgot their business, IN their
eagerness to get further particulars.
They beselged Kirman's news agency on
Broad street, where dispatches from
Washington were constantly arriving
and being distributed. Groups were
seen in the streets discussing
the subject anxieusly and
news boys did a heavy business in extras.
At the opening of the Stock Exchange the
news depressed the market, but further
dispatches announcing that the wounded
President was in fair way to recovery
and was not so dangerously wounded as
at first reported, caused a reaction.
