buying power was SO limited It
seemed TO be difficult in some Of the
weaker forces to execute selling
orders. It was noticed that the weak
ness centered III Reading, Hartman
railroads and Hill stocks, and the
weakness Of the latter was closely as
sociated In the minds of the profess
FsionaI traders with the departure for,
Europe today OF j. Pierpont Morgan.
. The drop In Reading was as rapid
and as sensational today as was the
sharp upward movement in the same
stock week ago, but there was not
more news to account for today's
movement than there was for the
former one. After the decline had
reached Its full momentum about mid
day there was rally, followed by an
other break which IN turn was sue
ceeded by a renewal Of the rally.
There was a final slump Just before
the close with prices near the lowest
aof the day.

TRYING TO BREAK EVELYN'S STORY

Associated Press TO bismarck Tribune.
New York, March 10 8 After the
forenoon session, occupied almost en-
tirely by District Attorney Jerome In
q bitter denunciation Of defendant and
his wife, the trial Of Harry K. Thaw
for the murder Of Stanford White was
adjourned shortly after 10 o'clock to-,
day until tomorrow morning
During his argument today the dis.
frict attorney took on, for the first
time since the case began, sus-
tanned oratorical tone. He asserted
that Hummel would swear Evelyn
Nesbit told him three days after her
return from Europe in 1903, that Thaw
had beaten her cruelty because she
would not sign the papers he had pre-
pared falsely accusing White Of hay-
ing drugged and betrayed her.
Jerome contended that she had said
much more, that Thaw seemed bent
upon putting Stanford White in the
penitentiary, that the statement that
White had betrayed her was not true,
that Stanford White had never harmed
him and that Thaw was consumed
with rage when she refused to sign
and swear to papers containing Lies
against Stanford White. =

New York, March Is The most
sensational decline in prices for sever

Except that money rates were high

no news to account for the break In

The market opened weak under the
influence o. lower prices for Ameri-
cans abroad and the fall In conso1s to
the lowest price since 1886. AT first
the downward movement was gradual
and selling did not appear to be Of an
urgent character, but as soon as the
rate for call money got above six per
cent heavy blocks OF stock were Of
fered for sale, apparently without re-
gard to price, and the downward trend
of quotations became precipitated.

afternoon after this estimate of the
dead had been made and carefully ex-
amined every part of the battleship
that was accessible. The interior
steel planking and partitions in many
places are bulged out or indented. The
gap in the side OF the vessel acted as
a safety valve for the vast volume Of
gas generated by the burning powder
without which the explosion would
have had even more disastrous results.
Y Fifty bodies were recovered during
the day, but only twelve could be
recognized, The others were a form
