MARKET LITTLE DISTURBED.
New York, Aug. 14-Mr. Huntington's
death had little effect on the general
stock market. Even his own stocks,
chief among which was Southern Pa
cific was hardly disturbed. Some large
lots of Southern Pacific came out in the
initial transactions but they We're
promptly taken by banking interests
known to represent the late millionaire,
and as a result the price of Southern
Pacific soon rallied from its one point
decline 1t seemed to be the general
opinion of those cOnversant with Mr..
Huntingtons affairs that he had left
his properties in such shape as to per-
NIT of easy handling by others.
A meeting of the Southern Pacific in
terests and certain prominent banking
interests was held early today. The
Southern Pacific road and other cOrpOr-
ations all carry large deposits in this
city and are frequently in the money
market. 1t seemed to be the opinion
of the bankers at this mornings confer
ence that no apprehension need be felt
because of Mr.. Huntingtons death.
Wall street estimates the fortune of
Mr. Huntington at from $40, 000, 900 to
$5O,O00 900.

THE NEWS IN FRISCO.
San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE news of
Coils P. Huntingtons death caused a
great sensation in this city where his
movements, both in railway and pri-
vate life, have been watched and stud
led with keen interest There was an
air of great sorrow around the office of
the Southern Pacific company today.
Expressions of regret at the passing of
the president of the company were
heard on every side. Although Mr..
Huntington spent most of his time in
the east, he maintained a residence in
this city and spent two or three months
here each year.
J. G. Stubbs, second vice president
and traffic manager of the company,
was deeply moved at the news of Mr.

been intimately associated with Mr.
Huntington for over twenty years
Speaking of his death today Mr.. StubbS
said:
The news of the death of Mr.. Hunt
ington is paralyzing. I can hardly be-
lieve that such a. hale and hearty man
has gone to the great beyond. He used
to tell me that he expected to pass the
century mark and l really thought he
would realize his expectations His
dominant will and keen perceptive fac
ultieS were the foundation of his sue
cess. Nothing daunted him and to lose
him now grieVeS me deeply
James Krutschnitt general manager
of the Southern Pacific company, said:
1.-The news was a terrible shock to me.
At first 1 thought there must be some
mistake, but the confirmation of his
death removes the hope that 1 had that
the news was unfOunded. am greatly
grieved. His death removes one of the
greatest men in the country. 1t was
during his last visit here that we had
talk regarding the terms of our exist
ence and he told me that his father had
lived to reach the age of SO years, and
from what he said I knew that he ex-
pected to live even longer than that. I
am extremely sorry that his death has
come at this time, just when all his
plans have been about successfully cul-
minated
H. E. Huntington left Houston, Tex,
last night for San Francisco, but has
been informed of the death of his uncle
and will doubtless proceed east at once.
H. E. Huntington was Mr.. Hunting
toms personal representative in this
city and it is thought here that he will
succeed to the management of his
uncle's vast possessions.
