SroCKs-Speculation at the Stock Elk
/ change was characterized by great depres-
/ sion. A sharp decline in American Securl-
| ties at London, coupled with rumors OF the
financial embarrassment Of an important
/ house there and heavy sales for foreign &C
count, started liquidations here on an
/ extenrive scale, and prices declined
/ rapidly. Urged on by their
success, the bears circulated
stories affecting the credit Of some OF the
most prominent houses in London, Berlin
and Amsterdam. On this side, the leading
market was the panic reported in Denver,
where general run was made upon the
banks. The bears simply carried everything
before them, aud a very uneasy feeling pre-
vailed in stock circles, although 1t IS 10 De
said that the local money market renamed
easy and, despite the great shrinkage IN
values, not a single failure occurred at the
Stock Exchange. The decline was equal
TO las points, as compared with the hnal
quotations Of yesterday and toward the
close stocks were sold almost regardless
of price. National Starch second pre-

House for assistance, but upon inyestiga-

no truth in the story. A few stocks rallied
\ to II per cent. in the final transactions,
