Decline in Stocks.

New York, Aug. 5.-There was a de-
cline of half n point to four points
in the prices of many stocks today I'M
mediately after the opening, which car
ried many of them to the lowest prices
OF the year. Selling brought out good
support under which there were sub
stantial rallies after the first ten min
utes. Shortly after eleven the sus-
pension of Sharp and Bryan was an
nounced, but the market was not
greatly affected by the news.
During the noon hour the market
went off lower than before. with espe
cial weakness in many high grade
stocks. According to reports scores of
accounts were thrown out by stock ex
change brokers, because their clients
were unable to meet the calls for extra
margins.
The stocks that scored heavy losses
included Missouri Pacific, st. Paul,
Union Pacific. Baltimore & Ohio.
Southern railway, Erie, Reading, steel
stocks. common stock of the steel COR
poration selling lower than at any pre-
vious time in its history.
Fully a dozen more active and better
class OF issues, touched the low prices
for the year.

TowNE GOES BROKE
The Standard Oil Octopus Made Hin

Its Victim.
New York, Aug. 5.-Charles A.
Towne, it is reported on Wall street
and among his political friends, has
been up against the octopus and is now
undergoing the process of digestion.
The octopus, according to reports.
got tentacle attached to Mr.. Towne
under false pretenses. Extending out
the tentacle in a caressing manner, it
made firm connection before Mr..
Towne realized that its purposes We're
hostile.
The story, in short, Of how the form
er candidate for vice president and
senator for few minutes, lost his sud-
denly acquired wealth, is quite typi-
cal tale Of Standard Oil manipulation.
Towne, when he went out OF poll
tics, went to New York and got inter-
ested in a Texas oil company. He did
well. In little while he had series
of wells spouting oil at terrific rate.
The Standard agents, as the story
runs, learned that some of the greatest
producers among the Towne wells
were about to give out. The Standard
has it's own ways of knowing things
about other peoples old business before
the other people find them out. Any
hoy, being convinced on this point, the
Standard contracted TO take a certain
number OF millions of barrels of oil at
Is cents a barrel from Towne. 1t was
a fancy price and meant wealth for
Towne's company.
But the Standard attached penalty
clause, penalizing the Towne company
q fixed amount per barrel for all ut
the contracted amount it failed to de-
liver
The contract was just comfortably in
operation when the big Towne wells
began spouting salt water. Now the
best Of them have run out and there is
no chance of filling the orders. Mr..
Towne according to report, Is the chief
victim Of the collapse.
1t is reported in this connection that
Townes appearance as Tammany's
Fourth of July orator was preliminary
to his candidacy for congress from a
Tammany district. Tammany, since i:
lost Bourke Cochran, declares that
anyhow Charlie is a lot better orato,
and it would sooner hear him any day
So, it is said. Charlie is to be the Tam
