STOCKS-The feeling Of apprehension
and distruSt which has prevailed in stock
circles for some time was still more pro-
nOunced to-day and the bears met with IN
sual success In beating down prices. Sales
for London account and the failures at the
centre, combined with the EN- oarrassment
Of Western houses, led 70 great depression
In the stock market. The selling movement
gained momentum as the day drew 70
close, when il was reported that leading
capitalist, with strong Vanderbilt afilia-
tiOns, had been forced TO liquidate The
bears, in order TO give color 10 the rumor,
which was emphatically denied, made the
Vanderbilt stocks a special target and put
down both Northwestern and Lake Shore
AS 70 81 per cent. The weakness extend
ed 10 the entire list, however, and Chicago
Gas broke az, General Electric 90, Man
haitian AZ, ST. Paul ~, and other active
stocks anywhere from l to 81 per cent.
There was q heavy pressure TO sell and
considerable excitement prevailed in con-
sequence Of the sensational rumors ahoat.
Late in the afternoon there was rally OF \
10 per cent. on purchases TO cover shorts,
but the advance did not hold and hnal quo
tatiOns were about the lowest touched.
There was some buying, however, by COM
mission houses at the low range on account
OF the Improvement in the financial sltua-
ton, some of the banks reporting return
Of currency from the interior and sterling
exchange having declined sufficiently 10 ad-
nit OF the importation of t355OOO gold oy
