SToCKs-Last night there were cabled
to London alarming rumors which had
been current during the day about large
and influential houses on the street being
in financial trouble and predicting further
failures and gloomy outlook altogether.
These were reflected back here this morn
ing in the shape of rumors that large
houses in London were on the
verge of bankruptcy, and as the
effects of last nights cables
were seen in the London market, pan
icky feeling and sharp losses in American
STOCKS. anu ltlS ildThcI OpCutu rum 4 W
81 per cent lower than last nights prices.
The monetary situation here showed a
marked improvement as the day wore
along. The over-sold condition of the
market was revealed by the high loaning
rates for stocks, several commanding Il
premium, Burlington per cent. and Jersey
Central. New York Central and Lake
Shore lilo, and Reading and Louisville
and Nashville L. The rush of the
shorts to cover increased in the
afternoon, and while ike dealings were not
of large value, the advance in prices was
most pronounced, and before delivery hour
there were few stocks that had not re
covered all of the loss, both at the opening
and the early trading. The upward move
ment ceased only with the close OF 0usl-
ness and the final prices were as rule the
best of the day, the close being active and
strong. The final changes are quiete ir-
regular, but the advances are largely in the
majority. Burlington and Quincy is up
