They Criticise stock Exchange
Rncket ms Madness and Robbery.
Berlin, May io-Yesterday's operations
in Wall street depressed values on all
the German boerses, and to-day intense
interest was shown in New York devel-
opments by the boerses and the press.
The papers generally see in the situa-
tion a fulhllment of predictions often re-
iterated The National zeitung expresses
a fear that there may be decisive and
prolonged reaction upon the European
boerses.
The Boersen Courier, discussing editon-
ally the occurrences in Wall street yes
terday. says:
''The wild scenes Of the Stock Ex-
change suggest mad-house rather than
an exchange. The Northern Pacific cor
ner appears to have been robbery on the
grandest scale. II is in the highest de-
gree regrettable that houses like J. p.
Morgan & Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
should participate in such Objectionable
opera tons"

sTUPENDoUs LOSSES ON PAPER.
MDny BucketshOp Traders who
Never Saw Their Cash

Never Saw Their Cash.
New York, May 1O.-The losses yester-
day we're stupendous. One commercial
paper places the losses in the bucketshops
throughout the country yesterday at
$3O,oOOO0O and if the figures are anything
like correct, they convey profound inn
preston of the shrinkage in the legitimate
places, Naturally the greater part of
these were losses on paper, but they were
all sufficiently tangible to be counted by
owners and could at no time be realized
upon in cash. The other side of the story
is short. but it is full of tales of YANKEES
enchantment. The men who had little
dribs of Northern Pacific and claimed for
tunes on them are generally the heroes
of these tales. Then there were the few
who were wise enough to profit by the
slump of yesterday and got the opportu-
nifty to do so. The managers of the Coli-
solidated Exchange have decided to sus-
pend operations tomorrow, so there will
be great deal of house cleaning over
Sunday. Some small blocks of stock were
sold under the hammer on the Consolidat-
ed Exchange to-day to meet the obliga-
tons of the concerns which went under
Yesterday.

THE sPEcTAToR's HOPEFUL VIEW
No Grounds for British Panic over
American Competition.

London, May 10.-The Spectator, in its
issue of tomorrow will ridicule the ex-
listing panic III Great Britain and point
out that the lucky Leyland shareholders
can build new steamers or sell their
shares and start "the Green Star Line"
There is no doubt but that American COM
petition will lbe keen. but competition de-
velops, not destroys, energy. All his
tory, the Spectator will say, Shows that
protected or subsidized trades stagnate
and even now Mckinley, the very best
apostle of protection, is signing for rec
iprocity, that is, for a large although lin
tied measure of free trade. Big combines
have never succeeded beyond the life of
their founders and any Napoleon of
finance who goes on conquering is sure in
the end to arrive at his Waterloo While
Great Britain's rivals declare her trade
to be decaying, their one endeavor is to
capture, at any sacrifice, that decaying
trade"
