THE STOCK M 4 REX ET
Prices Fall Below the Low Level of Last Saturday.

| Prices Fall Below the Low Level of Last Saturday.
 New York, Sept. 13.-The shock of
 the presidents relapse fell upon the 1 stock market with almost greater force
 than did that of the first attack upon him. The measure of this effect is | seen in the fact that prices as a rule fell below the low level of last Satur- l day The laborious course of restora- tion of prices during the week had car- ried the average level well back to that | ruling last Friday afternoon when the l market closed and before the news of the shooting was known in Wall Street. To a large number of the op- orators in stocks, the critical condition of the president was not known until their arrival at the board room of the stock exchange. This accounted part ly for the news affecting the market practically as though it had come in the midst of active trading. A canard
 had already circulated in London of
 the presidents actual death and the
 panicky selling from that center was
 thrown upon the opening market here
 The condition of the money market and
 some of the developments of yesterday
 left the market vulnerable even to a,
 normal course of events. Dsappoint-
 ment over yesterdays dividend action
 on St. Paul was keen and heavy sell
 ing of that stock was inevitable in any
 event. Amalgamated Copper also con-
 tinued under special pressure, owing to
 assertions that enormous stocks of cop-
 per were being accumulated and that
 the maintenance of the price of the
 product was becoming embarrassing.
 Republic Steel was acutely affected bv
 teh comments on its poor showing of earnings for the year The amount of offerings of government bonds brought out by Secretary Cages proposals was disappointing, the total reaching only about $7,500,000 compared with the SEQ. 000, 900 invited. Payments were made for these in cash upon presentation at the sub treasury to-day, most of the offered bonds being held in New York. There can be no doubt that this was an important factor in saving the day. for the pressure of liquidation was at times very severe, but the enormous supporting orders executed by friends of various stocks were only partly suc | cessiful. The critical condition of the | market during the past week has apparently brought some relief to | the drain upon New York reserves, and | the cash losses are estimated to be no ] greater than $2,50O,OOO This does not include to-day's large gain from the sub-treasury Call loans went to 10

per cent to- day, but relapsed to per cent. No extraordinary measures were deemed necessary by the clearing house committee and in fact that board was not in session during the day. The measures adopted early in the week continue in force, however.
 There can be no doubt that the sen- timent in Wall Street to-day as to the presidents recovery was practically hopeless and the price movement is to
 be measured from this standpoint. The more important extreme declines were as follows; St. Paul 6 7-S, Amalga- mated Copper, Northwestern, Rock Island, Great Northern preferred, Colo rado Fuel and American Car preferred 6 to S-S; Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chi cago and St. Louis, Delaware and Hudson, Union Pacific, American To- bacco, Republic Steel preferred, Con solidated Gas and Brooklyn Transit, 5 to 3-4, General Electric 1-2 Ameri- can Linseed preferred 10, and the ma- jority of active stocks all through the list from to over 4 points.
 Railroad bonds were weak, but not so acutely so as stocks. Total sales par value $3,S50,000.
