New YoKK. Oct. 1.-THE Evening
Post says "the continuance and msyni-
tude of the decline in stocks would en-
title II to be called a panic except it is
devoid of the excitement attedant on a
panic. There ia a general movement TO
sell aud all efforts on the part of the
largest capitalists and hackers and pro
moters of various securities to check
the decline seem to have been aban-
doned. The principal element which
now restraints the decline in prices is
| the fear of bears that they are over
selling the market. The fact that sew
eral stocks are loaning at extraordinary
high premiums for delivery on sales
| from day To day lent some plausibility
| to this fear. 1t is argued that in case
of Northern Pacific preferred, which
| loaned at one per cent. per day premi-
| um today, there will be better supply
| of stocks for loan after the books close
Saturday and this encourages the sell
| ing of stocks. Coal shares are still the
principal point of attack. After North
ern Pacific, most of the selling is of
Lackawana, while New Jersey Central
aud Reading have been firm through
the day and show no declines for the
day, and at the close Jersey Central ad-
vanc d suddenly two per cent. At the
regular board meeting of the Northern
Pacific railway the action of the finance
commercial in accepting the offer of the
old syndicate for SIS, 0O0, 600 of the pro-
posed issue of x20,0O00O0 of twenty
mortgage bonds was ratified and con-
| firmed.
