STOCK PRICES
cRUMBLE AWAY
Renewed UNEASINESS FELT
IN WALL. STREET
Hill and Hartman Holdings Suffer
Throughout the Day-Many
Rumors of Failures Af-
feet the Market
By Associated Press.


NEW YORK March 19.-Prices crum-
bled away during the early dealings in
the stock market today. The precipi-
fancy of the decline recalled the mar
ket of last week and gave rise to re-
newed uneasiness.
The greatest sufferers from the re-
newed pressure were the Hill and Har-
riman stocks, st. Paul, Reading and
American Smelling. Union Pacific fell
without any sign of support. Many
active stocks fell between and 8.
Selling for foreign account was an
independent element in the weakness,
and fears were entertained that trou-
BILE was brewing in some of the foreign
financial markets. 1t was believed also
that there was selling out of accounts
that were helped through the slump of
last week on consideration that oppor-
tunity should be taken of the first re-
covery in the market to reduce hold
ings.
The break in the first hour was
ascribed to a variety of causes, chief
among them being persistent rumor
that one or more failures are immi-
nent. London sold about 10000 shares
in the first hour, chiefly Erie, Southern
Pacific and Steel. The excitement upon
the exchange today was not quite as
great as that of last Thursday. Con-
Slu6ldDlb SlOCk WAS LHTOWn upon the
market at any price it might bring.
Many Rumors AfIoat
Before noon it was announced that
the clearing house sheets from men,
bers had gone through. 1t was init
mated in an official quarter that sew
eral members have been carried over
and that their affairs are being investi-
gated by the stock exchange committee.
Among the alarming rumors was one
affecting a banking house, which is
said to have suffered losses on loans
on collateral of doubtful value. Short
ly after noon it was learned from an
authoritative source that private set
tlement had been effected between at
least two stock exchange firms and
their creditors
1t was also said that all danger of
suspension had passed for the day. e,
II. Hartman today denied a report
that he intended to retire from active
railroad work.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-Re-
ports tonight show that the waters of
the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers
are subsiding, but the situation is still
regarded as grave.
In few places levees have broken
and the low lands are flooded. Much
loss of property has resulted Conside-
rable stock has been drowned and
many bridges have been washed away.
Local railway traffic and telegraph
service is badly interrupted. Inc town
of Oroville is still surrounded by water.
The financial loss at Oroville and vi
cinity is estimated at $1,000,000.
A number of Chinese are reported to
have been drowned. Sacramento re-
ports the Southern Pacific line situation
unchanged. No trains can go over the
Sierra Nevada mountains on account of
Cisco covered
the roadbed to a depth of twenty feet
for some distance.
1t is estimated that the track cannot
be cleared before tomorrow morning.
The Truckee river at Floriston and
Verdi has washed out a large section
of track and this cannot be repaired
until the river recedes.
The Truckee river dropped two feet
today and it is thought that the flood
has spent its force. Thirteen trains are
tied up in Sacramento and on the other
side of the Washouts.

CRUSHED At QUARRY
James Wright The Victim Of Sc
rious Accident al BesSsmer.
CAUGHT BETWEEN TRUCK AND CAR
Side Mashed and Two Ribs Broken
as Result Accident May Cause
Death of Well-Known Resi-
dent of the County.
dent of the County.

Mr.. James Wright. well-known
resident of the northern part of the
county received injuries while OF
work at the Bessemer quarry this
morning which may cause his death
although the physicians in attendance
hope to save his life.
Mr. Wright was engaged in loading
trucks at the quarry shortly after
s o'clock, and in attempting to get
on one of the loaded trucks he was
thrown between 1t and car which
stood upon the railroad track adjoin-
ing. The truck was in motion, and
Mr. Wright was caught and crushed,
The other workmen nearby saw the
peril of the position and stopped the
loaded truck, thus preventing further
injury. The injured man was picked
up in an unconscious condition. An
examination showed that two ribs
were broken, and 1t is believed that he
was otherwise injured internally. A
number of ugly Commissions on his
body were also found.
He was removed to his home, about
one mile from the quarry. Reports
from hts bedside this afternoon state
that he is dangerously injured, but
that the physicians hope to save his
life.
The accident was a peculiar and I'M
usual one, and 1t appears that it was
caused by the carelessness of the in
jured man, who placed himself in a
dangerous position in endcavoring to
board the loaded truck while it was
in motion.
