STOCK MARKET
YIELDED TO PANIC
Call Loans Went Bounding Up
the Scale.
INDUSTRIALS BADLY HURT
Metropolitan and Tobacco Lead With
Losses of Over Twenty Points, and
Large Number of Industrials
Quickly Followed
INDUSTRlALS BADLY HURT

New York, December 1S.-The stock mar
ket yielded to the panic today under the
severe stringency of money and the dis
trust engendered concerning all classes of
securities on the exchange.
The industrials were the severest suffer-
ers and We're the real centers of the dis
turbance, but the efforts to protect hold
ings in them precipitated violent liauida-
ton in other classes of securities. The
interval over Sunday afforded some mo-
mentary check to Saturdays liquidation as
was expected and viewed from profession
al opinion
The announcement of the failure of a
trust company and finn of brokers prom
fnent on the exchange renewed weakness,
and there were calls for additional mar
gins by commission houses.
A decision by the clearing house banks
to renew old loans at per cent. and to
avoid as far as possible excessive rates for
loans quieted the market and caused
some recovery.
In the evening severe strlngency develop
ed again in the money market, rates for
call loans bounding up rapidly to 125 per
cent, which was the maximum of the
years record. Unofficial reports were
Hidue Oh loans at 100 per cent. Inc HldF-
ket quickly took on panic conditions and
stocks were thrown over entirely without
regard to price. Metropolitan and Tobac
co led with losses of over 20 points, and a.
large number of indus trials followed with
to 10 points breaks. In the high grade
railroads stocks declined at the extreme
low level ranged from to points, includ-
ing the grangers trunk lines, information
ais, southers and trans-continentals In
the last half hour of concerted agreement
of the clearing house banks $10,000,0O0 was
offered on the exchange, which broke the
rate for money to 6 per cent and caused
violent recoveries of from to 10 points in
The price of stocks. All outside influences
were swallowed up in the acuteness of the
local situation
Semi-speculative bonds were off from
to 3 points. Dealings were not of an or
binary scale

PANDEMONIUM IN
COTTON EXCHANGE
The Excitement Which Prevailed
is Unprecedented.
SOUTH ENORMOUS SELLER
The Market as Shown by Weakest In
terval Broke 80 to 80 Points, at
Which Time-Conditions of
Panic Prevailed
SOUTH ENORMOUS SELLER

New York, December 1S.-Almost unpre-
cedented excitement prevailed on the cotton
exchange today. Seldom If ever in the
history of the institution has the volume
of business been SO great as that transacted
today.
No official record of the-sales was made,
but it is estimated that the amount of cot
ton traded in came near reaching the ,OOO,-
600 bale mark, the heaviest previous total
having been something like SO000O There
was a perfect avalanche of selling orders
until the executive capacity of commission
houses and brokers was tested as never be-
fore.
The opening was easy at a decline of to
G points.
From the closing figures of Saturday the
market, as shown by the weakest interval,
broke 30 to IS points, at which time a con-
dition bordering on panic prevailed. The
decline was attended by the greatest irreg-
ularity, with frequent and violent reactions,
the price at times moving by swings of
points. 1t was pandemonium let loose.
The original cause of the collapse was the
heavy selling movement started by Wall
street interests.
Sensational reports reached the cotton ex-
chanSe to the effect that the rate on money
was advancing rapidly. The more stalwart
bulls made numerous efforts to turn the
market but a renewed pressure of long
cotton would make it's appearance on every
reaction. The principal upward swing was
the early afternoon, when the market NOV
ed up IA points, only to topple over again.
The general weakness was increased by the
situation in South Africa leading to fears
that troubles abroad were likely to involve
other powers.
The south was an enormous seller here.
The English cotton market declined 4d41a
points, and closed at the lowest figures. The
final phases of the market We're a little bet
ter on covering and some buying for a re-
action tomorrow. The close was steady at
a net decline of 90 to "a points on the pres
ent crop and to 10 on the new crop.

Ta,bott q palmer's Cotton Letter

BY Private Wire from L. De Gumoens &
Son.
New York December 1S.-It Is hard to
discover anything on which the market is
likely to advance for a while. South Afri-
can news is likely to exert a depressing
effect. AS previously intimated, some new
feature is necessary to revive speculation,
and this is not probable before New Years.
liverpool stubbornness is against any i'm
provement her spot demand being cur
tailed day after day. Receipts keep on the
pace as has been the case for weeks, and
under such conditions We perceive nothing
but a dull, sew-saw market There was a
general letting go, but nothing to cause
much apprehension. The idea is that a re-
covery was quite probable, aotwithstand-
ing that 13 points loss took place In the
first hour and a general rush to sell fol-
lowed by general recovery of shorts. The
suspension of a local trust company has
much to do with the weakness. In the
early afternoon further slaughter of bulls
took place, and prices went off 3S points,
with apparently no end to the selling or
ders. Spot prices south were reduced in
many instances. Wall street was COM

that Europe has absorbed a large quantity

Mothers advice is worth more than
the advice of any other woman to the
daughter who is perplexed by the prob
lens of physical health and comfort.
There's no need therefore to write to
UonfaH," +" who is a stranger
There may, however, be need for a
Ph1Sfcfan'S advice to supplement the ad-
vice of the mother. In such a case the
offer of free consultation by letter, made
by DIR. Pierce, opens the way to health,
and at the same time avoids the un-
pleasant questionings, the repu1sive ex-
an1inations and offensive local treatments
which less experienced physicians often
insist on.
Any sick or ailing woman IS invited to
write to DIR. Pierce, Buffalo, in the strict
est privacy. Each letter Is held as
sacred confidence and its answer is sent
in plain envelope, bearing no printing
upon it.
Do not be nisled by advertisements
offering "medical advice" which are
sicians are not qualified to give such adj
vice. ANY physician or doctor who has
a legal and professional right to the title
will publicly claim that title. Those
who offer medical advice and invite
you to write to woman :" do not claim
that the woman Is doctor. The "medi-
cal advice" " of an unprofessional woman
is Just as dangerous as the medical
advice" of an unprofessional man. In
more than thirty years DIR. Pierce and his
staff of nearly a score of medical special
lists, have successfully treated over half
million women You can write without
fear as without fee to DR.. r. v. Pierce,
Buffalo, ". Y.
