Hartman and Morgan Clash and
Greatest Panic in Years
EnSueS.
RAILROAD STOCKS ARE SHATTERED TO PIECES
Shrnkage in Values is Estimated Conservatively at
Not Less Than Two Hundred Million
Dollars.

Southern Pacific and Great Northern
were up. The other rails and all OF the
principal industrials were down.
Before the end OF the initial hour
the roster had turned unanimously
weaker. The Hartman and Hill gains
were reversed. They presented losses
well under the lowest OF the previous
session. St. Paul. Copper. the Steels
and Atchison broke from a to 2s
points. Locally, Swift & Company GER
tifcates tumbled ~.
High Temperature sn Market.
Toward the Wall street midday
hour there were indications of labor
ious recovery, but the market was ner-
vous and feverish to a degree.
Today's crash In Wall street was by
far the worst since the Northern Paci-
fic scare on May 9. 1901.
The entire situation, which is grow
ing daily more acute. is engaging the
attention OF the president and his cabi-
net. the governors and Legislatures OF
states and money kings ali over the
country.
Ray of Hope from CorteIyou.
Expected action by Secretary Cortel-
you of the treasury department to stem
the decline gave a ray Of hope to the
street before the opening. The secre-
tar. announced yesterday afternoon
that owing to the stringency in the
money market the s30,000.000 OF gov
ernment funds deposited with the
banks last September would not be re-
called at once, az had been intended.
1t was reported last night that the Sec
retary would announce today a plan
to anticipate on a large scale the re-
demption of the United States per
cent bonds due July /. in order to help
out the money conditions. That even
1 further aid has been asked is not
doubted, but it is thought this is as
far as the administration will care to
go.
Millions and Millions Lost.
In the last half hour of the session
prices were knocked about like a
football At one corner of the post In
Reading brokers were Offering blocks
of stock at 81 and in another traders
were bidding 93 1t is simply marvel
Gus that brokers could account accur-
ately for their trades and with whom
they were trading.
The record low prices were scored
in the last half hour of the session. An
idea of the enormity of the losses may
be had from the opening prices when
1t is considered that Union Pacific op-
ened at 145 and sold down to 120: st.
Paul from 139 to 1926: Copper from 9S
to so: Smelters from 131 to ILL., Atch-
ison from 81 to s219; Southern Pacific
from SO to 20. Bears were no respect
ers of stocks or persons and hammered
everything upon the list.
The market closed tonight very near
the bottom prices with confidence in
the general situation still far from be-
ing restored.

These were the developments In the

Shortly after the noon hour there

ten points. This was an example Of
what occurred.
Two brokerage Houses Go Under.
The first news from abroad was
alarming Two brokerage houses in
London confessed to insolvency and Sc
curities there had struck a lower level
than yesterday British consols were
from one to seven points under yes
terday's panicky range. Berlin con-
/ tinued to unload on London.
But before the exchanges had begun
business the position in Eul ope had
ameliorated. The governors of the
Bank of England had met, and not
withstanding the monetary crisis
throughout the financial centers of the
world decided not to increase the dis
count rate. simultaneously the lead
ing bankers of Great Britain, includ-
ing the Rothschilds and the Bishoff-
helms, had conferred and resolved to
give every possible help to the secur-
ties market. The tidings from Ger
many became less apprehensive especi-
ally in view of the aid given by the
national treasury.
Rally. No Use.
Nevertheless, the American lists
were not assured. A combination ot
Wall street men not of the first i'm
portance, attempted to rally the mar
ket at the start. In addition to this
the heaviest battalions on the bear side
thought it time to cover, while a mum
Der of leading commission houses were
advising their clientele to buy stocks
which were said to be ruling at bar

4 The upshot of the concentrated forces
was extreme feverishness of tone anc
wild irregularity of quotations i
was clear that while the buying on thi!
side predominated. the foreigners were
doing nothing but liquidating. Lead
ing lines displayed a range running
from two points under to three anC
a half above the last sales of yester
day, with the declines more numerous
than the advances.

further estimated that an equal
amount is placed in home securities.

Doctor found coffee was injuring

four years with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
