PRICES MELTED AWAY.

New York, Oct. 11-There was a sharp
decline in the stock market this after
noon due to q warning against over ex-
tension of speculation contained in the
speech of Frank A. Vanderlip. vice
president Of the National City bank of
this city, before the American Bankers
association convention at Washington.
Trading became very active on the de-
cline and prices melted away rapidly.
The entire active list was affected.

world stood the strain ct e. war which
cost the ataH#=aa tiers tFFs billions
OF dollars. Mr.. VanderiD said he be-
lieVed was due to 6hassnaat1Fs increased
production of gold in recent years. To
this increased production he also gave
the credit for. the recO very from in lus-
trial depression during the past three
years. At the same time he expressed
the belief that in this very. increase thare
was possible future disturbance of
values. Should the present rate of pro-
duction continue he believed the vol
Jlme oe money in the world would be
doubled in twenty years with the result
that prices of many commodities would
be greatly ncreased-possibly doubled.
