COMMENT ON MARKET.

Z. W Crew. Of Henry Clews & Co
"The favorable report Of the Clearing
House Association on the Mercantile Ma
tional Bank has removed one element Of
doubt from the situation. This has Gre
ated a slightly better feeling in financial
circles, though there are many other un-
favorable factors which must be taken
into consideration before any general up
building begins. The copper metal market
is about as bad as it well could be and il
IS idle 10 suppose that such demoraliza-
ton could exist in one branch OF the
metal trade without affecting others. II
Is admitted that many stocks are cheap
on their merits, based on conditions as
they exist to-day, but that is their chief
recommendation while so much uncer-
tainty reigns. London was the principal
buyer of stocks this morning, the traders
selling. There is a fairly large short in
terest outstanding and with ANYTHING
Ike vigorous buying from any quarter. il
would not be difficult TO bring about a
rally"
Benjamin Woodruff, of Post & FIagg-
! To-day was another Of heavy uouida-
ton and declining prices. and while there
was no panic, conditions were demorallz.
ing. The Heinze difficulties projected un-
expected disturbance in the market and
have caused much trouble Ii is an
nounced to-day that the clearing house
has requested the resignation OF all the
directors of the Mercantile National
Bank, Heinze's institution, and they pro-
pose to have an entirely new management
in taking control Of its affairs 1t is evi-
dent that the clearing house does not
propose to have any solvent institution
suffer. but it's members do intend 10 see
that the management is satisfactory. The
general situation is one of heavy iouida-
ton, but every day brings the righting Of
the situation nearer. At the present ex-
traOrdinary low level of prices an eaui-
librium must be reached before very
long"
G. Bowie Chipman. of E. r. Chapman
& Co.-"After a period Of some little
strength, to-days market ran into the
most demoralized break of the present de-
cline. Selling seemed to start in the in
dustrials, particularly. Shelters, Conner
and Lead. For awhile the railroads stood
UP, but, pressure increasing, they were
obliged 10 give way, and, under lead OF
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, st. Paul
and Reading joined the downward march
The selling OF the industrials was at
tended by an advance in call money rates
70 10 per cent, and it looked as Though
many Of those holdings were being
thrown on the market owing to the calling
of loans by the banks Just before 2
o'clock 1t was announced that as a con-
dition of the New York clearing house
extending aid to the Mercantile National
Bank the designations Of the entire board
.of directors Of that institution had been
asked for and received. To-nights range OF
prices for the leading stocks is such that
IT would not seem advantageous to make
short sales; on the other hand, in view Of
ali conditions l do not feel Ike advising
purchases, that is not until I can see the
proper evidence of inside support and buy
ing on the part Of substantial interests"

tion of securities proceeding indirectly

corner the common shares Of the United
Copper Company.
Early In the day sentiment in Wall
street was mere or less Teassured by
reason Of the statement of the clearing
house committee that yesterday investi-
gated the Mercantile National Bank
which was to a large extent controlled
by the same interests as those dominant
in the affairs of the United Copper Com
pany that the bank is IN a solvent con-
dltion. II developed to-day, however.
that while the solvency Of the bank was
unquesu0nable, the clearing g-house com
mittee stipulated, as a condition prece-
dent TO the rendering Of such temporary
assistance as the bank might need, that
not only Mr.. F. Augustus Heinze, the
president Of the institution. should re-
sign, but that all the directorate of the
institution should resign also.
RidgeIy Chosen President.
These designations were promptly ac-
cepted and a new president named in Mr..
Ridgely, the present Comptroller Of the
Currency at Washington, so that the bank
was thoroughly reorganized. 1t was also
understood, Of course, that the controlling
interest Of the bank had passed TO parties
allied with the new management. As the
result of general nervousness over the af-
fairs. however. il was apparent that a
thorough scrutiniZing of loans by bank
and trust company officials was being
made and il soon became evident that
this had resulted in a calling Of loans. in
many instances requesting forced liquida-
ton of various leading stock.
While, therefore. the stock market was
inclined TO steadiness, il not exactly firm
ness, in the first hour Of business, it
broke violently In the second hour under
selling of the character described.
Smelling Leads Decline.
The decline was led by a break of s@s
points in the American Smelling and Re
inning common shares, which was accom-
panied also by pronounced weakness in
Amalgamated Copper, National Lead and
other securities Of similar class, and un-
der such influences the whole market be-
came utterly demoraiized.
Declines by the middle OF the day com
monty ran TO between 3 and points in

quarter of the previous fall.
