< New York, March 13--The most sem sationai decline in prices for sever al years occurred on the stock market today.
 Except that money rates were higher and that the tone on the foreign ex- news to account for the break in pri- ees. The market opened weak under the influence of lower prices for Amer jeans abroad and the drop in consols to the lowest price since 1s96.
 At first the downward movement was gradual and the selling did not appear to be of an urgent character. but as soon as the rate for call money got above six heavy blocks Of stock were offered for sale apparently With- out regard to price and the uownWara trend of quotations became precipitate.
 Breaks of from twelve to one point between sales were frequent and the buying power was so limited that IL seemed to be difficult in some of the weaker features to execute selling or ders. It was noticed that weakness centered in Reading, the Hartman railroads and the Hill stocks ana the weakness of the latter was closely as- sociated In the minds of professional traders with the departure for Europe today of J. P. Morgan.
 The drop in Reading was as rapid and as sensational today as was the sharp upward movement In the same stock a week ago, but there was no more news to account for today's move ment than the former one. As the de- cline had reached it's full momentum about midday there was rally follow ed by another break which in turn was followed by another rally, but the bet ter tone did not hold and just before the close there was final slump with the list generally weak with prices at or near the lowest of the day.

 Unless MT. Delmas takes up a long time in his cross examination of the experts, see no reason why the case should not be closed on Friday"

AGAINST M4NY FAKE CURES
Health Officer Conducting Organized Fight on Great
White Plague Responsible for so
Many Deaths Here.

DR.. ID g. Levy health officer of Rich.

clans Of the city relative to tuberculosis
which Ia but step In an organized and

communicable disease. Every known
means OF diminishing the liability to In.

instructions sent out state tho plans Of
tho health officer:
Consumption Is disease of the lungs,
which Is taken from others, and Is not
simply caused by colds, although cold
may make It easier to take the disease.
It Is caused by very minute germs. which
usually enter the body with the air
breathed. The matter which consumptives
cough or spit up contains these germs in
great Enthusiastically millions arc
discharged In single day. This matter,
spit upon the floor. wall, or elsewhere,
dries. and Is apt to become powdered and
float In the air as dust. The dust con-
tains the germs, and thus they enter the
body with the air breathed This dust Is
especially likely to DO dangerous within
doors. The breath OF consumptive does
not contain tho germs. and will not pro.
duce the disease. A person catches tho
