SToCKs-The stock market today con-
tinued the rapid and heavy decline of the
latter portion of last week and for a time
this morning it looked more like panic
that at any previous time since the down
ward movement began. To-day, however,
the excitement, which was of the sup
pressed order and almost entirely free from
the usual noise and wild gyratiOns which
mark the transactions of business at the
Stock Exchange at times, was sufficient to
cause the death of one of the leading
members of the Exchange upon the floor at
noon. The gentleman was Mr.. James
Struthers. Such an event would in usual
times have been sufficient TO have caused
the closing of the Exchange at once. but the
magnitude of the interests which would
have been endangered by such a course for
babe it and after a half hours Interrupt
ton of business, the trading was resumed
upon the floor The Gould party are cred
tied to-day with being large purchasers.
There were heavy selling orders in
the market for foreign account,
and prices were given absolutely
no support whatever and the opening de-
clnes as compared with the final figures of
Saturday were from ] TO 1 per cent as a
rule. These losses caught many stop or
ders right on the minute, and the trading
element was bearishly heavily and further
losses Of from to per cent were scored.
The Gould stocks were the leaders in the
break, Manhattan showing the most.
After the first break there was sharp
rally, but it failed 10 reach anything like
the proportion of the break. The pressure
was renewed again and when the liquida-
ton begun again the rates for money be-
gan to rise. The advance in the
rate caused another running over of
stocks The lowest prices were reached
by noon. At the low prices reached, how
ever. there was good buying noticed along
the line, and the effort TO pick up good
stocks was most apparent Late in the
afternoon sharp break occurred in sugar
and it fell nearly five points. The market
closed weak and active at or near the low
est points. The final losses are: st. Paul
