PANNICKY FEELING
NEW YORK EXCHANGE BADLY
FLURRiEU.
London Does Some Heavy Unloading.
Stocks Hard Hit

Friday was the stormiost day Now
York has known for q long time. The
stock market has been wildly excited
All during the day. The broak-away
came TO most people in the street as q
total surprise, nothing being IN sight
over night to portend any extraordi-
nary developments.
Before the opening, however, mat
ters began TO assume n questionable
shape in the judgment Of Wall street
veterans. Tho first quotations re-
oeived for American securities from
London created q sensation and pre-
pared the bankers and brokers for
stormy day.
The prices recorded showed declines
extending to 3 per cent. and the Lon
don market was reported decidedly
ragged "
Each successive cable indicated still
lower figures, and II was finally re-
ported that many 'jobbers" on the
London Stock Exchange had refused
to accept orders.
This unfavorable news was coinci-
dent with preparations by the gold
shipping houses for Saturdays exports
to Europe. The initial trading was
highly sensational, as declines we're
made oil along the line extending to ~
per cent Like the London selling,
the bulk Of the sales represented liqui-
dalton. A momentary rally occurred
around 1915 o'clock Of ] to II per
cent, but blocks of investment and
speculative stocks we're soon thrown
overheard and the m arket took a fresh
plunge downward.
Gilt edged investment securities
went around at handsome bargains.
Before midday, breaks extending to
l5i per cent in lead preferred, had
been made
Call Money Goes Higher.
A sinister feature was an advance in
rates for call money to seventy-fve
per cent, rejecting the calling in Of
loans. In the time specified three
failures were reported on the New
York stock exchange, and one on the
Consolidated exchange.
The railway and miscellaneous bond
market was also demoralized, declines
ranging up to 10 per cent 1t was ru-
mored that a single house had dumped
$500, 900 of foreign bonds on the mar
ket. Wisconsin Central Trust receipts
scored the extreme loss, and in the
leading speculatives the recessions
extended to lit per cent, in Kansas
and Texas seconds, to 47}.
Around 1890 p. m. the selling
pressure abateG and recoveries were
made in the stock market from the
lowest extending to per cent. Bonds
were relatively active.
At 1870 o'clock a rally was in prog
ress. The upward movement was
stemmed around on long realizing
sales, in which liberal part of the
gains were lost.
There were frequent sales of bonds
and stocks for the account of the firms
that failed. Fifty-thousand-dollar sill
yer certificates were sold at 66i.
At p. m. speculation was irregular.
Call money was 10 per cent. Soon
after 2 o'clock a rallying tendency de-
veloped in the stock market, and in
the next half hour recoveries from the
lowest were established, extending to
IL per cent in lead preferred. The
rally was halped by a break from SO
per cent to the top figure for cal
money-to per cent. Near the close
the rate jumped again to 80 per CEN
and the stock market became irregular

Stead, the Reformer, Establishes the Most
Remarkable of Markets.

William Il. Stead, reformer, agitator
and philanthropist, has just furnished the
world new sensation by establishing in
London baby market So novel is tho
idea that the big conservative city has
gone into ecstasies over the plan suggested
and the man whom they once forced, be-
cause of his charitable deeds, into the Old
Bailey.
The scene Of Mr.. Stead's baby market,
ora as some term It, baby exchange, is a
pRttily furnished suit of apartments In
one of the emiuently respectable portions
of the English metropolis. The object of
attempting this experiment was, In nut
shell, to create an institution that would
prove a medium for finding children for
married couples entirely without family,
but who feel the desire to I'll up the blank
In their hearts and homes by adopting as
their own some of tho homeless among the
little ones
In overy large city there is very great
number of children who have entered the
world under circumstances that make their
retention by mother or father matter un-
pleasant and difficult. Tho children are in
every respect desirable, as a rule, for, judg-
Ing from the qualities Of their progenitors,
there Is no reason why, If placed in prnper=
environment they should not become
worthy men and women.
it Is just exactly this want that the ba-
by market fills. To the comfortably fur
nished rooms, where the babies who may
be adopted, together with absolutely cor
rect information concerning them, are 10
be found, many women, young and old,
charming and ugly, wend their way every
day 60 see jus5 what specimens of juvenile
beauty are candidates for home honors.
There are plenty OF them, and, like men,
of all sorts and conditions, except that in
every instance whom they are placed on
view in the market they are absolutely
clean. Mr.. Stead and his confreres hold
that cleanliness is not only next to godli-
ness, but an absolute requisite preliminary
to adoption.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The full extent
OF the Armenian massacres is indicated
in report to the state department by
United States Consul Bergholz. at
Erzeroum, wherein he says:
The number OF Armenian children
under IL years OF age made orphans by
he massacres OF 1895 Is so, ,O00 according
ID the estimates OF the missionaries. The
question OF what shall be done with
these orphans is receiving the attention
CT the Christian world The American
board of commissioners is giving the mat
ter serious thought. 1t has formulated
no general plan OF relief, although the
question OF creating orphanages. cloth
ing factories and industrial institutions,
is under consideration. German char
liable or religious societies are prepar-
ing 10 establish industrial orphan
asylums at Oorpha. Cesarea and else
where. and the kaisersworth deacon-
nesses OF Germany have made provision
for receiving Armenian orphans at
Smyrna. and 30 have seen sent there

Children on the Island OF Cyprus, more
particularly. at present at least, those
within the province of Erzeroum, which
number in the cities OF Erzeroum
Erzingan and Bailbourt, 2o49, who are
without means and are recipients of
relief. In Erzeroum there are 1S0 widows
anu 700 children: in Erzlngan 100 widows
with 45O children, and at Bailbourt 119
widows with 500 children. The widows
OF Bailbourt are in particularly distress
ing circumstances, not male adult re-
naming. No active steps as yet have
been taken to carry out this philan-
throp!c movement beyond requesting
the relief committee of the province to
ascertain if the widows are willing to
leave. / think the offer Will be gladly
