not fear Of the Filipinos but humiliation
in the sight Of other nations that was
referred to, whereupon Mr. Reed said:

A RUSH TO SELL
Lively Scramble on the Stock
! Exchange to Dispose Of
Holdings.
Estimated Three-Q Quarters of 3
Million Shares Were Sold
Up to Noon.
InduStrialS Suffered Most But
Railroads Were More Or
Less Affected.

New YORK, Sept. 19.-There was
only q moderately large attendance in
the galleries at the opening of the
Stock Exchange attracted by the re-
ports Of excitement on Saturday and
the prospects of its continuance. They
were gratiied by a lively scramble at
several posts when the gong sounded.
Brokers were loaded up with orders to
sell, and many stocks showed a ''wide"
opening. Quotations were difficult to
follow and simultaneous sales of large
amounts were made at widely diff.
serent prices. Individual blocks of
1000 shares and upwards were the
rule in the first few minutes. Liquida-
ton was very heavy, but the bear
traders also operated with great con-
fdence and made short sales in the face
of l~iquidating offers. In many cases
they were able to at substantial
profit in the course of a very few min
utes as prices were dropping in an
alarming manner. Opening losses
ranged from 2 to ~ points in . long
list which embraced pretty much all
the leading industrials in the market,
and q smaller number of railroads.
Rumors and canards were flying thick
by messenger boys and telephone and
telegraph wires and the professional
operators were busy with the usual de.
vices to induce holders of stocks to sell.
Many were eager to do so, and many
more were compelled to do so as this
fall in prices wiped u their mar.

when the selling commenced more
eagerly than before. The New York
stocks and the Flower stocks were the
most hurt by the second raid, but every.
thing went lower than IN the opening

breathing spell, when the mercurial

aid says: Save for the work of pub.
fishing the report of the trust confer.
ence, the Civic F~ederation's work in the
big meeting is fully accomplished.
Franklin H. Head, its president, is con-
fdent that the results of the discussion
will be far reaching and benefcent, and
he feels that his organization was JUST.
fed in its expenditure of labor and
time. Fifty thousand copies of the re.
port are to be printed and distributed
throughout the country, so that those
who did not attend the convention may
have the advantage of the views ex.
pressed by leading economists, lawyers,
politicians and thinkers from different
sections of the United States. This
Mr.. Head deems highly important.
Among the reflections of Mr.. Head
on the conference generally are the fol.
lowing statements:
1.-THE idea of the Civic Federation
was to hold a full discussion of all sides
of the general questions of trusts and
trade combinations. 1t is a subject
upon which there is endless confusion
of thought among the people, and we
hoped, by giving all sides a fair hearing,
to clear away much Of the fog and mist
and to bring the people nearer together,
80 that they might judge Of the evils of
these large combinations, if there were
any, and to devise remedies for such
evils.
Thinks 1t Was . Success.
I'm almost every respect l think the
conference has been a decided success.
LAS a result Of the discussion. it
seemed to me that the general appre.
citation of those present that the growth
of trusts and combinations should be
jealousy watched and guarded and
that there should be a careful supervise
ion of their operations by the state au-
thorities, and also, possibly, by the gen.
eral ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS some
what similar to that over national
banks would be most desirable and i'm.
portant-and that all such corporations
should be required to have carefully
kept books of account, showing all the
general operations in their business.
and that the features of such statistics
should be made public something after
the manner in which statistics Of ma
tional banks is made public. The object
sought through these suggestions were
not only for the benefit of the general
public who might he considering an in.
vestment, but also for the benefit of the
stockholders, who might thus learn il

holders.
"Whatever may be the steps taken to
adopt some remedies OF restrictive
measures which shall retain whatever
there may be of benefit in the trusts.
while removing that which is preiudi.
cial to the national good, in my opin.
ion the conference held in Chi cago will
prove an historical meeting and it's in.

perhaps as a starting point of some

long time. The Civic Federation is sat.

IS TICKER SERVICE PUBLIC2
Broker Looram Asks tho Courts to Restore
1t to His once.

Matthew VI. Looram. a stock broker. yester-
day applied to Supreme Court Justice Slower
OF Brooklyn for mandatory injunction against
the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company and
the Western Union Telegraph Company to re-
strain them from stopping the transmission OF
stock Exchange quotations to his Office at
1923 Broadway and to restore the tickers re-
moved by them. When the tickers were re-
moved in April. Looram was informed that the
Committee of the Stock Exchange had with
drawn its approval to having them placed In
the office. The question involved was accord
ing to Mr. Iooram' counsel whether the COM
pany could give the quotations to one broker
and refuse them to another.
Justice StOvrr remarked during the argu-
ment: The question is as to the validity OF
the contract. II to transmit the quotations is
4 public duty. the company cant get over IL.
But II appears to me that il il not it's duty to
throw broadcast to the public all the informa-
ton thar comes to hand. suppose newspaper
gathered news and gave it 10 the Western
Union to transmit to certain persons, is that
the property which tho company Is bound to
submit TO the public?"
Lawyer Tnggart. in opposition to the mo-
tiun: said that II was part Of the contract that
the Western Union must obtain the approval
OF the Committee OF the Stock Exchange be-
fore furnishing the quotations to its GUS
toners. Justice Slower reserved his decision
