Lawson's ~ in Street.

: New York Sun Speclal oeTV1Ce.
New York, Dec. 9.-Wall street 8
hour of panic yesterday cost the Stock
Exchange spectators millions OF dol
lars.
BY the tremendous fall in prices Of
many stocks between 10 and IL o CLOCK,
x the lambs in every village and city
We're c Cleaned Out. N But these Country
lambs were not alone in their losses.
For the first time in years the wise old
sheep of the street itself took alarm
at the cry of "wolf' and plunged into
demoralized flight. They rallied them
and the panic ended for the day.
That single hour of tumbling prices
made Thomas w. Lawson of Boston
!, the central figure Of stock speculation.
For the moment he was a king of de-
| sfruetion, smashing his way thru the
securities Of trusts of combines and Of
veteran manipulators.
{ AS he had boasted he would do, Mr..
J Lawson shook--perhaps with only
faint tremor-the foundations of No.
7, 26 Broadway, the house of Standard
Oil magnates and the center of their
widening circles of, financial rings. "
~ Routed Rogers Out. 49,. 49,.
The man in Boston routed H. H.
Rogers out Of the Standard building
early in the morning and sent him and
= his assistants scurrying into the mar
. ket with tremendous and costly buying
orders to protect their pet stocks. <Ihey
met the charge in magnificent manner,
rallied the routed brokers and sent
prices bounding back to halfway
point, where the quotations remained
until the close.
Brokers said Mr.. Rogers and Mr.
Morgan did this, aided by. the organ:
lied allies. But when business CLOSED
there lowered over all the frantically
exultant figure of Lawson, issuing hour
" bulletins, hurting Defiance, threats
Of further ruin, and winding up with
ieers of derision for his Wall street en-
emies.
Weapon Was Publicity.
Lawson 3 weapon of attack was pub
icity. For several days he filled news
paper columns in the large cities will
flaring advertisements, denouncing tn
methods of Wall street financiers, &C
cusing them of creating fictitiously higl
values for certain stocks, especial!
every holder of these stocks to follow
him and sell their holdings befor
his moves in advance and defed tn
rulers of the street to stop him.
Here is what Lawson accomplishe
in one night against, all Wall stree
with the aid Of publicity alone, tn
figures given being the highest price
Of Wednesday and the lowest price
of Thursday:
Broke the price Of Amalgamated Coz
per 21B points, from sos to 5S1a.
Sent Brooklyn Rapid Transit from 81
to 56k.
Colorado Fuel and Iron from STA to 3
Erie from Al to "a Is.
Reading from 82A to 1914.
Union Pacific from 1855 to 1865.
United States Steel common from 80
to 23H.
United States Steel preferred from "a
to "a.
Consolidated Gas from 213A to 205.
Missouri Pacific from III to 103.
Sugar from 1908 to 134%.
''Sell! Sell! Sell!' shrieked Law
son thru every channel of publicit
"Sell before the willy manipulators ira
you
And the public began selling.

Tribute to the Arkansas Apple.

er on one of the St. Louis daily

to the Arkansas apple, after hay
ing been given sample at the bio
display in the Horticultural Build

Ever eat an Arkansas Black
apple. Just the color of velvet
rose that is such dark red that #
keeps noar-sighted folks guessing
as to whether its red or just imita-
ton. Nothing imitation about Ar
kansas apples. They're sound to
the core. Nothing black about
them, either, except their skin COW
ering, which hides hard, juicy apple
meat that tastes as Eve supposed
that bad apple in Eden would.
No wonder they have annie
blossoms for the state flower in
Arkansas. y
