produced in such large quantities dur

New Slump Causes Furry and

Light.
RECOVERY AGAIN PROMISED
Chicago Not Worrying About
Doings in Gotham--Sales
Yesterday.

MANY Richmond dealers were SUR
prised yesterday morning when the
tickers announced that the New York
stock market had opened with another
slump, and they watched the black
hoard until the trading ended. Others,
however, manifested no surprise at all.
and, In fact were ready with an Il
told you So" These latter say tho
break was to be expected after what
happened last week. The rich men,
and probably the banks, bought stocks
to stem the tide OF panic, ana that
being accomplished. they had no
further use for the securities. and yes.
terday morning put them on sale, ana
this was partly what caused the break.
Another element bought securities last
week at the bottom to make quick
turn, and the opening prices yesterday
enabled them to do tsat and they let
loose their purchases to pocket the
profit. In this way there was u rush
of securities, and because OF the abun.
dant supply the market naturally
weakened.
The New York exchange opened with
no little excitement, and stocks all
along the line sold below Saturdays
closing figures, from ono to four points
down. This was not confined to rail-
way securities. but industrials were
involved also. The little rHllying there
was from this was confined to very
few securities, and tho market closed
in the main lower than II opened.
