BREAK IN STOCK MARKET.
SEMT-PANIC REIGNED.
Operators, Forced to Realise, Three
Ouer Big accounts.

Under a tremendous volume OF offerings the
stock market in the two hours OF trading yes
terday broke with extreme violence, closing
weak and nervous at practically the lowest price
level OF the session. American stocks in London
had closed a trile up but the movement there
was believed 20 have been engineered for its
effect on local prices. which failed at the open
ing 10 respond TO London. The weakness on the
local exchange. which was evident from the
opening in the second hour became accentuated
20 the point OF semi-panic. The great volume OF
the selling throughout the day was for account
OF the recently hourishing and confident bull
pools. many big accounts being thrown over by
GENERATORS forced TO realize upon their holdings;
and IN the course Of the decline large numbers
81 stop loss orders Of ali sizes were reached.
showing that many margined accounts were be-
ing closed out The emboldened bears helped
along the decline. their refusal to take profits
toward the close arguing their belief that prices
would IN to-norrow's market go still lower The
story Of a trust company defalcation was again
current. doing its share in causing the decline,
but not even partial substantiation OF it was
forthcoming.
The sharp decline in Union Pacific was said TO
have been in part due 10 selling of some Of the
extensive Gould holdings in the property. Mis-
souri, Pacific declined with the general list. but
not severely. the announcement of the restora-
ton OF harmony between Mr.. Gould and Presi-
dent Ramsey. of the Wabash. having apparent
~ a reassuring effect. The bank statement was
highly favorable. rejecting the large liquidation
OF the week. but little attention paid to 1t.
The break in the United States Steel issues was
reported 10 be largely due TO the fact that as
the market for these stocks is exceedingly
broad one certain big operators were liquidating
their Steel holdings in order to protect their
position IN less active securities, which could be
SOLD only at q rUinous sacrifice The violence Of
the decline the urgency Of the selling and the
lack Of confidence argued by the small demand
10 buy at any stage of the decline naturally gave
rise 10 many rumors of financial difficulties,
none Of which, however. were cOrroborated.
Nothing developed affecting intrinsic conditions
20 account for the enormous liquidation.
Trading was so heavy and excited that the
ticker was more than fifteen minutes behind the
regular time in reporting closing quotations. AT
the Offices Of the brokerage houses the clerks
were told that their services would be in demand
until late in the evening and many clerks were
ordered report for duty to-day for the pur-
pose Of going over customers accounts and
sending ont calls for additional margins
An idea OF the violence Of the break can be
obtained from the following table of maximum
declines Of the day, the list including many of
the active pool stocks:

THE RATE-MAKING POWER
More Objections to Giving 1t to
Interstate Commerce Commission.

washington April AT the meeting Of the Sen
ate Committee on Interstate Commerce to-day,
James H. Hiland, third vice-president of the Chi
cago Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad Company,
made a statement regarding railroad rates which
specially affect Northwestern traffic He said in
part:

lions that exist in the localities where the freight
company is required to carr it, These conditions
vary according TO the resources and character Of
commodities shipped TO and from various parts of
The United states so that the governing influence
in the making of rates on particular commodities
in part of the country would not necessarily
govern in another
The Western country particularly would suffer
because the greate- the distance West from the
Nississippt River the more sparsely settled is the
country. and necessarily the more limited the vol
ume OF tonnage.
Ninety-nine per cent Of the complaints that are
made TO the traffic officers of the various railroads
are not that the rates in themselves unreason-
able unjust, but that discrimination and pref
ercnce ara shown and that is what should be regu-
lated, and the law enforced to prevent the
preferential rates for communities individuals.
II the present law is enforced and transportation
published tariffs. there would not be any grounds
for a general reduction in rates or placing the
power of making arbitrary rates for transportation
companies in a commission. Competition under
natural laws of trade and commerce and transpor-
tation will regulate and govern as conditions and
development require and justify.

The Square Deal Pays.

On Woodman day we dropped into
Ben Bears store for a moment, when
we could not help but notice the many
strangers from outside towns who were
eagerly inspecting his immense stock
and making purchases. When they
came to examine the large quantities
they found that they could be suited
exactly. and the price was in every
instance a shade lower than the same
goods could be secured at home. OF
course they did not come to DEBORAH
to buy clothing, but when they looked
about the store, saw the goods, and
inquired the prices, many of them
made purchases and carried them
home. Every day and every week in
the year Mr.. Bears reputation for
selling the best goods at the lowest
prices, and giving every one square
deallis becoming known and recognized
further and further away from De-
corah.

possible, to recall another instance OF
such universal commentator being
given to any organization as has been
accorded this excellent body of singers
on their entire American tour.
We had hoped this week to be able to
present the programs for the two con-
certs here in DEBORAH, but this we are
unable to do. But we print instead
their entire repertoire for this tour from
which of course the local programs will
be selected.
