these men At two O'Clock the 1nas-
ket was firm and slowly advancing
Notwithstanding the vast offerings
from Street & Rogers. At $3.50 Wall
street was growing optimistic. It
regarded the selling as proft-taking,
and bought with confidence. Sugar
rose to within seven points Of the
opening figure.
Then came the final disaster. It
was announced that John NJ. Rock
well, the great capitalist, and Hiram
Haven. the sugar magnate also were
missing. simultaneously, word was
received from Philadelphia that none
of the gentlemen mentioned had been
at the Hotel Lafayette, and that the
dispatch was bogus, having been sent
out by a commission house which
took this method to recoup some of
it's losses. In the crash which fol-
lowed several houses went to the
wall. Their holdings were thrown
on the market. Sugar dropped an
extreme 40 points. Other securities
suffered in proportion: A man stood
in the middle of Broad street and
| blew his brsSls out. Staid old invest
ment stocks which had regularly
paid dividends for years dropped five
points between quotations. Sugar
fell IL points on a sale of 400 shares,
| and did not steady itself for ten
| minutes, during which time it was
| worth $500 a share less than it
had been those few minutes before.
Once more it was Street & Rog-
ers to the rescue. For two days
they had been selling on good news
and buying on bad news. Again
| their brokers stood in the breach
and bought Sugar, B. & o., ST. Paul,
Jersey Central, Metropolitan and
| Steel and Iron from men who seemed
willing to give it away. When the
gong. sounded at three o'clock, the
signal that tbs awful day was
ended on the Stock Exchange, these
brokers were yet surrounded by
swarms of men frantic in their eff
forts to sell stocks at any prices. 1t
was midnight before the lights went
out in the offices of Street & Rogers.
| Scores of haggard men arranged pri-
vate settlements on terms which
would permit them to remain sol
vent.
| The profits of the unknown prin-
Gpals or syndicate represented by
| Street & Rogers. of New York. Nor
ris & Hauser, of Boston, and Wright
& Tanning, of Chicago, were con-
servatively estimated at S24,0OO.0G0.
| The members of the firm of Street
& Rogers gave out no figures and
| refused to name the men they were
representing. They stated that they
had considered the market over
| bought, and had sold stocks in antic-
Eipation of a natural reaction. The
unexpected bad news had found them
| in a situation from which they could
not help reaping an enormous adj
vantage. They had simply taken
| profits on the various movements of
the market, and did not share tha
apprehensions of those who feared
for the safety of the missing men.
Mr.. Street declared that prices were
| too low at the closing figures, even
| if it were known that the worst had
| happened. Intrinsic values could not
be permanently affected by the fate
of individuals, and he advised buying
on any further declines.
Thus closed the most memora BILE
day in the history of Wall street.

CHAPTER v.
THE WALL STREET PANIC.


What happened on this famous
Tuesday has been lightly touched on
in the opening chapter of this his
tory. The morning papers had de-
voted considerable space to the "bear
furry in Wall street. There were
guarded illusions to the coup per-
formed by Mr.. Kent, who had con-
Quoted his operations with little at
tempt to disguise his attitude. His
profits were variously estimated at
from $3.50, 900 to So ,OOo, 900. and it was
strongly intimated that he would live
to regret the unwarranted scare he
had precipitated.
On the following Tuesday morning
London ignored the New York break
in prices and opened strong. Chicago
and the speculative west looked on
it's splendid crops and telegraphed
buying orders in generous volume.
The galleries around the trading floor
of the Exchange were crowded with
the sight-seers who. are always in
force when the market is excited.
The hand of the big clock slowly ap-
preached the hour of ten. The thou
sand or more brokers gravitated to-
wards the various standards which
bore the names of the important
| trading stocks.
The market opened strong and at
a slight advance in spite of large
offerings of stock by Kent brokers
and from Street 6 Rogers-acting
for their unknown principals-the
market held it's own the first hali
hour. 1t was at this time that
vague and portentious rumors were
| circulated on the floor, and whis-
pered over telephones. These ru-
| mOrs were greeted with general in.
credulity, but the effect on the mar
ket was apparent from the time the
first suspicion was breathed. London
Chicago and other speculative centers
continued buying and selling, uncon
