THE DAY IN LONDON.

LONDON, May SIS D. m.-Not in the
memory of the Oldest stock broker in
London has there been such a panic as
prevailed this afternoon in Americans.
After the closing of the stock exchange
hundreds of dealers endeavored TO
struggle into the narrow confines OF
Shorters Court, where outside dealings
are done. in efforts TO raise or reduce,
as the case might be, Americans TO New
York parity. Suddenly there developed
terrific slump in Union Pacific, which
was knocked down twenty points in as
many seconds. st. Paul suffered al
most as badly. Large and small brok-
ers rushed to the scene until Throg-
merton street became impossible The
rain poured down. but the excited
crowd paid no heed to it, Parties
formed themselves into flying wedges
in endeavors TO force their way into
the centre of Shorters Court, at which
spot the principal dealing was done.
All sorts of conditions and prices were
shouted at the top of the operators
voices. Down. down went Americans.
The leading houses sent urgent orders
to buy or SELL but found it almost inn
possible to have their orders executed.
Rails of every description were quoted
at rock bottom prices. and steel and
other securities fell in sympathy Then,
without rhyme or reason, a reaction set
in. Up and down went Americans. At
ter about half an hour of this panicky
speculation a more reasonable feeling
prevailed, and stocks rose to within a
few points of their price wnen the stock
exchange closed. But long after the
usual hours hundreds of stock brokers,
most of them drenched TO the skin,
traded in the hope of getting clear be-
fore tomorrow s'opening.
]. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., said to a
representative of the Associated Press
so far as | know there was no rea-
son for this afternoons panic except
utter lack of information regarding
the condition of the railroad market OF
America. | do not apprehend any ser
ious results.
Mr.. Brown. a partner in the firm OF
Speyer Brothers. said:
1T cannot be called anything hut q
panic. Still, 1 do not expect failures,
except, possibly, few small ones. The
crowd IS too terribly excited to trans
act many dealings and not much stock
has changed hands. There is no earth
ly reason for to-day's scene, except the
endeavor to keep pace with New York,
which is being done in the dark. and
led to panic such as we nave never
had before. The rise that came to an
end was only to be expected. but the
affair will hurt Americans here and il
will probably be some time before a
feeling of security is thoroughly re-es-
tablished."
A representative of Seligman Broth
ers said:

of the conditions there it is impos-
