NEW YORK STOCKS
IN RAGGED OPENING
Bears Jump on the Market
With Tap of Bell--oSseS
SeriouS-The Close.

NEW YORK. oct. 12.-As might
have been expected, the opening OF the
stock market this morning was ragged
and irregular. The closing yesterday
plainly indicated that this would be the
case. The liquidation continued from
the tap of the bell, and 1t was but a
few minutes before there was a stu
further decline in the great majority Of
stocks of a full point with no telling
what the next minute might bring forth.
The street expected the shorts to rush
to DOVER and nervy spectators to get
on the long side quickly and they were
not disappointed.
The news Of the morning was not en-
couraging. indeed, 1t was difficult TO
find encouragement in anything bat the

trenchment along the entire lines con-

covered by fractions to points.
Almost Immediately the shorts started
to covering, and there were recoveries
in prices, but the market maintained
an cratic and Irregular range during
the morning hour. The bank statement
was expected to show an increase In re-
serves and a decrease in loans, but the
market was one of speculative infiu-
ences and much affected by the indus
trial situation.

day.
The movement promises TO be lively
throughout the second hour. with the
chances OF shorts rushing In 20 cover.
The second hours trading was much
like the first. Support was apparent in
the Hill stocks, Louisville, St Paul, and
the Morgan issues, with the exception
of the Steels The Hartman issues
were under pressure all day. Among
the high grade industrials there was
apparent good buying. notably IN sugar
and General Electric.
The bank statement proved to be bet
ter than expected, showing a substan-
tial increase In surplus reserves. It.
however, failed to rally the market, its
effect being negligible.

New York, Oct. 23.-After an all
night conference the Knickerbocker
Trust Company's directors this morn
ing decided that the bank will not
open its doors again in it's present
shape.
Interest has now shifted to the Trust

who arrived in New York last night.
held a conference at the hotel Manhat-
tan lasting into the early hours this
morning, with leading f%inanciers, in
Guiding J.. P. Morgan and other mem
bors Of his great house.
In the last half hour of business yes
terday the Morton Trust Co. paid out

There is much excitement over the

Owing to fresh anxiety aroused by
the position of the trust companies
there is considerable excitement in the
cotton market also today. the under
tone being weak, with prices down 20
