HUNDREDS CAME TO AMERICUs.
Seaboard's Excursion Here Proved
Quite Popular.

The first excursion to Americas in a
number of years came in yesterday
oyer the Seaboard from Savannah and
intermediate points. A round trip
rate of So. rs from Savannah was al
lowed, and while few if any came from
that section of the state other points
along the line were we'll represented,
The "Shoofy" brought in nearly 200
passengers at 10 o'clock, while the
regular train from Savannah, No. II,
brought quite number of excursion
lists as we'll. Several merchants and
shoppers from towns along the line
spent the day in Americas, and the
first excursion was in all respects a
success.

The West is full of rumors of labor

agitation in favor Of strikes. Such Ggita-

surface indications of the way the wind
is likely TO blow.
Last weeks extraordinary slump has
created a large flock Of lame ducks. ana
we are informed by leading banks that
for weeks to come they will ue obliged
to iqUidate long stocks which they were
unable to get out OF last week. The same
episode in Northern Pacific in our humble
opinion has killed any possibility of Eu-
rope taking hold of our market for some
time to come. To the contrary, we expect
London to return TO us the stocks 1t has
bought for the last few months. This
will inevitably lead to gold exports, no
matter what money rates may be here.
Under these circumstances we cannot
see why prices should keep at their pres
Cnt level While we do not think that we
shall get such violent breaks we had
last week, still we are strongly inclined
to the opinion that prices will sag from
% to 20 points all around within the next
ninety days

Yesterdays break was extremely dis
appointing to the large number of people
that believed the crash of last Thursday
a thing Of one day that could be forgot
ten. 1t was more than disappointing
solutely ruinous TO many that were car
Tied over the first break by their brokers,
but sold out yesterday, when it could be
done without loss to the brokers. Prices
opened off, and there was no time dur
ing the day when they showed any partic-
ular strength. During the afternoon there
was a pretty steady decline, which in
many cases assumed distinctly alarming
proportions. The close was at or near
the bottom. showing net losses of from
! or points to 10 points in the active list.
Many securities at this level were little
above the lowest of last Thursday, and
few showed any gain since Thursday after
noon. Union Pacific went off from 1891
to 103 and closed at I0i. Amalgamated
Copper went OFF from us to il0l2 and re-
covered only fractionally. st. Paul drop

Missouri Pacific, Consolidated Gas, New

There was no startling corner in North
ern Pacific to account for yesterday
break. The news of the day contained
nothing sensational, nothing even that
could be considered particularly disquiet-
ing. The selling was of three kinds
profit taking by people that bought last
Thursday and Friday, the closing out of
weakly margined accounts that were held
through the Thursday break by brokers,
and short selling. All Of these various
selling movements were expected by care
full people There was never a break in
the history Of the market that was not
followed 10y q sharp recovery and then
another decline Of Importance such as
that of yesterday. The size Of the second
break IS always somewhat prOblematical,
but as a usual thing II carries the level
down again very nearly, If not quite to
the panic prices. The same faulty IDEAS
that make the public always load up with
stocks at top prices. in the belief that
there can be no break. make the same
public consider every smash Ike that OF
last Thursday the end of all the bad
things that can happen. In this instance,
as is always the case. IL was said that
the present market IS different from all
others, that prosperity IS assured that
the panic WAS caused by fiuke, and 50
forth. As q matter OF fact, the underiy-
ing cause Of the panic was that prices
were far 700 high: that they had been
manipulated M week after week beyond
the legitimate level. The immediate
cause Of the slump was the Northern Pa
cffic corner, but the slump was certain
10 come. nevertheless. And so. too, was
the second slump. for causes quite as Ger
tain and unavoidable, though more tech
nical and hence less generally understood.
What the extent OF the present slump
win be no one should attempt TO say.
There may be support for the market this
morning and another advance. on the
other hand. the decline may continue un-
interrupted. Many stocks on the list un-
doubtedly are still Q sale on the small
bulges and win continue TO seek a lower
level. Other securities among the divi-
dend payers are likely TO advance. The
period of readjustment has been reached
and prices in the course Of the next few
weeks win much better represent real
values

One of the chief pieces of good news
yesterday was the announcement that
the courts have dismissed the second
suit against the Smelters Company seek
ing to prevent it from acquiring control
of the Guggenheim plant. This news
was thought by many to be a bullish ar
gument on Shelters STOCK. and also on
Amalgamated Copper, as the Amalgamat-
ed company has a similar litigation on its
hands with regard to its right to acquire
the Butte and Boston. and the Boston
both these securities were particularly
weak during the afternoon. Copper went
of points from the high TO the low, and
it closed near the bottom. Both are very
unsatisfactory securities to speculate in

Union Pacific common made the worst
break Of the day. 1t sold at one time as
high as 1874. and on Monday it sold up

stock on Monday was that the boom
was caused by retaliatory buying
by Morgan-Hill people to counter

the Vanderbilts were heavy purchasers

As to the general outlook for the future
after the market has quieted down, there
Is sim much difference Of opinion. The
first tendency Of conservative people was
20 believe that the bull market would be
resumed after this readiustn1ent process.
More mature consideration now makes
some OF these people skeptical. The fol-

examination as to his sanity on Wednesday.
At No. 40 East Ninety-sixth-st a house

became afflicted with stomach troubles. He had
to give up business, and constantly under
the care OF physician. Recently his brain be-
came affected. He had nephew who was a

DR. OHanlon, coroners physician, viewed the
body. He found two slight bruises on the right
arm, one on the left arm, two large ones on the
chest, and several on the knees. It was clearly
established, it said, that Nash had the
bruises when he entered the pavilion. DR..
O'Hanlon said they had nothing to do with his
death and that the man evidently died from
odema Of the Lungs and acute mania. Dr.
OHanlon will hold autopsy to-day.
