No REASON APPARENT
Sharp Decline in Price Of Stocks
Without Explanation.
MARKET in NERVOUS STATE


Center of Attack. With the Hill
Roads and St. Paul Affected in SYM
psthy-oil Stock Down II Points.
New York, Aug. s.-With British
consols selling at new low level and
American stocks generally lower in
London following the sharp declines
here Wednesday the opening of the
New York stock market was attended
with unusual interest The decline in
oonsols is generally attributed to dis
turbed conditions in the money mar
ket abroad. but 1t is not 80 easy to
assign cause for the crumbling
sWay of prices of securities in the
American market. The sharp decline
In quotations Wednesday was without
explanation. further than it was due
to heavy selling BY holders Of railroad
and other shares who did not care to
xetain their securities at this time.
There was nothing to show, whether
their desire to sell was because they
were tired of waiting for an upward
movement of prices. because OF the
low supplies OF money, or because of
depressed sentiment in Wall street
ever the difficulties In which many
corporations find themselves with the
national and state governments.
First transactions showed large
gales at lower prices. Union Pacific
was IN lower ON sales of $500
sAares and Northern Pacific was 2h
lower.
Market in Nervous State.
The market was generally In q
nervous state, but the trading was not
attended with any extraordinary
excitement The declines were attrib-
ussd to sales by spectators who de-
gir'e lower prices and to holders who
did not have the funds to protect their
brokers against further losses. The
so-called Standard Oil and Frtck
groups OF stocks were the centers Of
attack, included in that designation
being the Union Pacific, Reading,
Amalgamated Copper and American
Smelling and in close sympathy the
Hill roads and st. Paul There was
one drop of " points in Union Pa
cific from 1914 to 12s on one sale of
500 shares That stock declined an
extrame 45s to 1271a and then rallied
8A. A drop OF points in American
Smelling carried that stock to below
par and the preferred stock touched
par at a decline of 8. Northern Pa
cific lost 8k and Reading 3. Losses
of between 1 and were quite general,
although the Eastern trunk lines were
comparatively little affected. The
spectators for the decline used as
their principal fresh ammunition the
reports from Washington of the in
tention of the department of justice
to push criminal prosecutions against
certain heads of corporations. The
violence of the collapse in prices gave
rise to the usual anxiety over possible
embarrassment, but no such trouble
j., developed. In the curb market Stan
dard Oil sold down II points to 485.
The market became steadier, but
when the earlier losses had been re-
trieved there was no disposition to
follow the advance and the market
fell into extreme dullness.
