Wonder if it Was Same George.-A
few years ago George BOgocian, an
Armenian rug agent. spent some
months in Davenport. and proved 4
most pleasant fellow. He had a nice
voice, sang in Assyrian, Armenian.
Turkish, and English, and was heard
at various churches and fraternal meet
ings and was quite Il favorite in the
circle of his acquaintance. He WIS
as happy and even tempered a fellow
as had been in Davenport for long
time. Now the people who knew him,
and who have read of an Armenian
named George BOgocian carving man
in fracas in New York state. are
wondering if it is our George who
welded the carver. If so, she showed
streak of fierceness in his disposition
that was never evidenced here.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Rapid Decline Generally accepted as
Readjustment.

New York, July 1O-The rapid decline
in prices Of stocks to-day was quite
generally accepted as readjustment
from an artificial level established by
manipulative tactics. Many bankers
and even stock commission houses have
deprecated the untimeliness Of the re-
cent operations to advance prices. The
campaign was carried up to the very
threshold of to-day's severe money re-
quirements with apparent unconeern
and needless Of the warnings which
have been more than two weeks in es-
tablishlng were surrendered in few
hours. st. Paul, which was reserved
by the speculative leadership for their
last resource, after being forced up ev-
en- in face Of yesterdays selling pres
sure, naturally was the most acute suf-
ferer to-day. Union Pacific, Reading
Amalgamated Copper and the Hill
stocks came next in the order in which
they have figured in the operations of
the manipulators of the market Some
special weakness in Union Pacific was
attributed to the poor subscriptions re-
ported to the new convertible bond is
sue. A converse statement of the case
was also heard, that the subscription
period for the bonds having expired the
support of Union Pacific for the pur-
pose Of adding to the attractiveness OF
the bonds was no longer maintained.
The squeeze in the money market
came, as was expected, with the with
| drawal to-day of government deposits
from the National banks. The engage
ment of $1,000,OOO of gold for shipment
to France aggravated the effect of the
money disturbance. Probably the seal
| ing down of money market resources
| had some part in forcing the retreat
/ of the party committed to the long side
of the market. Foreign markets sent
selling orders to this and were report
ed uneasy over our money position.
and the friction between this country
and Japan. The publication of cordial
expressions on the part of the newly
arrived japanese admiral in New York
occurred about the time q sharp rallv
in prices was in progress late in the
| afternoon. The small number o sub
scriptions to the new bond issues ma
turally eased the demands for money,
but the return Of deposits into the sub
treasury depleted supplies to such an
extent as to run the money rate up to
s per cent. quite early in the day. The
filing of the governmnt's suit against
the American Tobacco company and the
stated purpose of the New York Pub
lie Utilities commission to probe the To-
cal traction merger served to keep alive
the sentiment of apprehension over
4 government activities against corpora
tons. The reduction in the price of
copper also was an unsettling influence,
and another decline in prices at the
I New York metal exchange kept alive
uneasiness over the stability of that
market. The government crop report
offered no help to stocks. The first re-
port ON the years corn was Of a poor

On the publication Of the condition
estimate Of SO2 for corn, which, al
though the lowest July figure since 1903,
was above some of the private esti-
mates, the stock market rallied, with
very general gains. The condition es-
tinate for spring wheat was also the
lowest in four years, and for winter
wheat the lowest since 1902. These es-
Inmates had little effect on the commod-
ity, markets, wheat closing a little
higher.

In brokerage houses, said the New
York Mail last night, the one thing
that seemed to explain the decline was
the government suit against the tobac-
co trust and the opening up Of an ag-
gressive federal attitude against indus
trial corporations. If this policy was
continued. brokers said, it would put q
quietus on any bull market. Persons
who have sympathized with the admin
istration in its effort to correct corpor-
alton abuses thought that President
Roosevelt and his department of jus
tice were going a little too far in this
last instance.

The speculative element was fairly
frightened and did not stand on the
order of its going. 1t threw over its
holdings amid much excitement. There
was much talk about the new program
of the president to bring trusts to book
The suit against the Tobacco company
was regarded as forerunner Of more
against other combinations This
caused much liquidation of Industrial
issues.
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1907-07-11

Liquidation was apparent in the in
dustrials on the theory that the admin
istration had shifted its attack from
the railroads to the ihdustrials. In ad-
dition to the heavy declines in popular
trust shares like Copper, Steel and
Shelters there was a good deal Of
weakness in some of the minor indus
trials such as Car Foundry and Ameri-
can Woolens. The suit to overthrow
the combination between the United
States Leather and Central Leather
companies also tended to put Industrial
shares at a discount.

The row was mainly produced by the
tension Of money caused by the syndi-
cate payments of about 900 fall
ing due yesterday and the return to the
treasury Of most of the $3o,OOO0o Of
government deposits called for this
date. This made all kinds of money
scarce. Call loans went up to s per
cent, and time money was IL per cent
higher. To aggravate the trouble an
engagement Of $1,ooO,OOO gold for Paris
was announced.

Field and two others, with a combined
holding of $4,000 shares, would have
been in pretty pickle had they held
the bag. The savings bank depositors
who invested had food for reflection.
1t was plain that there was next to
no buying power in the market At
/ the same time it looked as if there were
few persons who cared to sell, and as if
liquidation had for the moment run its
