SURPRISE EXPRESSED THAT THE BANKER WENT

DESERTED NOW.
The sudden death of Simon wormser. the mill
ionaire Wall Street banker. on Tuesday evening
created little comment in the Street yesterday, ana
there material change In quotations OF the
stocks in which he known to be Interested
While the members of the house Of l. 4 : Worm
ser have always been heavy traders In any securi-
ties of which they have taken hold the opinion was
freely expressed yesterday that the time Is rast
when the death of any one influential man can
affect the stock market In the days or Woe nucl-
uations In all of its extensive Wall Street dealings

and speculative and though 1t carried on a banking

Wormser frequently spccuated at big figures lie
was ardent trader In the Industrial securities nv
well in the railroad shares, and was particularly
noted for usually buying or selling the riSht way 20
such an extent that Of the small traders have
been known to follow his transactions, thinking
that they would then surely hit the market Alright
Though there are many Wall street stories told OF
Simon Wormsor's brother, lsidor there are COM
parativcly few told Of Simon himself years ago
Simon Wormaei prominent member oi inc
celebrated Turf Club. which at one time occuplei
the present quarters Of the University CUB at
