New York Oct 12.-There was a panic
in Walt street to-day. but Wall street
was not in panic. individuals were. but
the market, as a whole. was not Why
men in good health and apparently sane
should give way to hysteria is question

Of Wall street discussion, but that many
OF them did so was testified TO by several
reputable brokers.

over their lines and adding 10 the rapidity
and extent OF the markets downward
course The only panic in the street was
in the minds Of those individuals. and il
was a pitiful exhibit.
Union Pacific broke on stop orders. This
was the way the traders described what
occurred in the stock that practically led
the downward movement. and the de-
scription showed that while brokers who
make a living by trading for their own
| account were very busy, they still OBJ
served a nice regard for correctness of
expression.
AS the stop orders were not uncoveraa
until the price approximated 120, the un-
Initiated might suppose that the break
was caused by something encountered
when the stock sold a good deal higher
up. But the traders knew better.
From its high level at the beginning OF
the week the price had only sagged. II
was when it neared 100 that It broke
Until to-day the years low record for
the stock had been 40 IA, this quotation
having been made in the panic last March.
That low record marked the point at
which many speculative holders placed
their step orders. in the belief that II
once the stock dropped to lower level
there would be renewed liquidation and a
further severe decline
The existence OF these stop orders gave
the bears an incentive TO work against
the stock. bug hearish efforts met with
some show of resistance until actual ex-
ecution OF the stops sent the price down
almost perpendicularly, from 20 IL to

it occurred many Of the shorts took ad-
vantage Of it 10 make purchases for the
retirement Of their contracts.

COMMENT ON MARKET.

6. Bowie Chipman. Of E. r Chapman &
Co: There can be no question rs 70 the
Generalization which existed during the
first hour Of to-day's session. Securities
Of all classes were sold without regard TO
values. The lower priced railway stocks
and minor industrials were not under
pressure as heavy as the past day or
two Ihe result is that the entire list
shows drastic losses, the finals being from
4 to IA per cent above the lowest This
rally was caused by some short covering
Influenced more or less by the bank state
ment which proved better than expected
For the immediate future Of the market
II seems TO me that sharp rally is due
and should follow yesterday and to-days
decline. but this can hardly come 10 pass
unless the insiders extend sufficient sup
port TO start the shorts buying. I would
think well or sales on strength"
Benjamin Woodruff, Of Post & FIasg:
THE liquidation and short selling which
has resumed in the market early in the
week following the traction disclosures
continued to-day. and prices closed at low
figures. without any rally This is dis
eouraging. coming as it does after ten
months Of continual declining prices.
When to-day's figures are compared with
those Of a year ago. it Is hard to believe
that the country has not been through a
war. famine, or a pestilence iE the In
terval, L simply shows how delicate is
the machinery OF modern business and
what distressing results to public conf
-.
of reform The bank statement showed
an increase in reserve which Was en-
couraging, as it is not apt 10 happen at
this time Of the year. Il is also encour-
aging to know that the Secretary of the
Treasury has by 10 means completed his
programme for the relief of the autumn
strain. The heavy liquidation in Wall
street and tremendous short selling which
has lately been in evidence should have
brought the market to low figures or near
that point"

POSTOFFICE CASE
DELAYED DELAYED FOR WEEK
Cooley Cannot Begin Hart
ford Mfg. Co. Prosecu-
ton Now.

Assistant Attorney General Afford w.
Cooley. to whom the postoffice fraud
case OF the Hartford Manufacturing
Company has been referred by Attorney
General FonRparte, said today that he
would not be able to take up the matter
until he had disposed OF some Supreme
Court work or Cooley thinks that 1t
will be a week or ten days before he
can give the ease fun consideration.
The fact that the PostOffice Depart
ment has made a change in IS agent
at the envelope factory is thoughp by
many to be somewhat significan., as The
question has frequently been asked Il
the passing of so much 4nferior stock
would not involve the agent In the pro-
eeedings.
Until July I, last, the departments
agent at Hartford was s. w. Stone. The
department decided 20 make change
at that time. and stone was rendered
position in the railway mail service. in
which he had been employed a number
of years before being made the agent
al Hartford.
Stone declined 70 accept a transfer to
his old line Of work. and is now outside
the service.
The Postoftice Department is consid-
erably behind with orders for stamped
envelopes. but the claim 10 made that
this is by reason OF the time lost IN
making the change from one factory TO
another. and that IN time the work
promises TO be current. The present con-
ira ctors have experienced some dill
Guilty in keeping the grade OF stock up
to requirements, as well as the trouble
over the output.
They have, however, within the iase
week added another mill TO the pant
and are making an effort 10 catch up
with the back orders
