mark; land time is everything" There was uni
yersal feeling that the crisis had been salely
passed.
The few persons whom curiosity attracted to the
neiobborhood of the Stock Exchange or to the
visitors gallery were sent away, soon after the
clatter of the brokers in the board room began by
the ordinary appearance reassumed by wall street.
Within a half hour however, the "uckers" that
reel off the stock quotations in hundreds OF down
town offices and saloons gathered about them an
Increasing number of observers. Prices were again
dancing with seeming recklessness of values ana
blocks of Lake Shore were dropping upon the mar
ket at declining figures that excited fresh alarm
Then like an ominous whisper the news of the
closing of the Newark Savings Institution spread
from one man or one office to another. The
announcement of the suspension of tue old and re-
spected firm of II. G. Hardy & Sons added to the
anxiety of those who were ignorant OF the import

who had risen in the morning in doubt as to what
The day would bring forth Reports were
not wanting that European orders were
being sent over to bny stocks aud

were drifting back to this city. drawn by the high
rates which prevail in the money market The
day closed with the temper of the street greatly
improved. with the stock market strong and gen.
