RUMORS ALL PROVED FALSE
RECENT BOOST CARRIED Sc
CURITIEs TOO HIGH.

New York, Sept. 16.-AH that f. H. Har-
riman had to impart concerning the prop
critics in which he Is interested fell far
short of what the speculative magma
ton had been led to expect during weeks
OF buying OF the stocks at steadily ad-
vancing prices. 1t was Disappointment on
this score that caused the crumbling of
prices today more than any other factor
Mr.. Harriman's terse reason for the great
strength in the stocks of his railroads
was that IL was because thew were too
weak before" The weakness today might
be explained with equal justice as due to
stocks having been too strong. The real
ization that there was to be no Union
Pacific holding company and distribu-
zion of treasury assets, no immediate val
liable reports on Southern Pacific in con-
nection with new financing. no extra dis
bursement on Northern Pacific and, in
fact. no actual information on which to
base numerous rumors which have kept
alive speculative enthusiasm for some
time left holders of stocks with the
dread that they had been pursuing phan-
toms and OVERRIDING the speculation The
action of the market gave warning, also.
that measures Of control and support for
prices were not to be enforced with the
same determination as lately.
The vigorous resistance shown by prices
TO selling pressure for some time past has
quieted all apprehensions which might adj
wise on the part Of the purchasers of
stocks for an advance. The conviction
thus fostered that powerful combination
OF capitalists. equipped with hundreds OF
millions of dollars in loans on call. had
set themselves to hold and advance
prices. was shaken by the evidence OF
distribution of holdings whenever the
market was strong enough TO absorb
them. Reading served as the instrument
for support of the market about the same
as yesterday. The stock was about the
only one TO show positive strength at any
time. New York Central advanced a point
temporarily when II became known that
the regular dividend had been declared.
The relief from fears of a reduction in
that dividend did not avail to reassure
misgivings over dividend menace at other
points.
The continued shrinkage in railroad
earnings coupled with the heavy addi-
tions to share capital which is TO divide

substantial speculative lines of stocks
was considered certain from the action of
the market. The motives prompting the
liquidation was not so commonly agreed
upon. Political scare was one motive ad-
vanced by some of the most demonstra-
tive of the sellers.
The course of the market was not an
entire surprise to observers less closely
concerned in the speculation. The extent
of the rise in itself has suggested the
approach of a reaction. The moderate
pace of the business improvement had
indicated the Notwithstanding of this in

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Sept 1O.-At the outset the
market for wheat was firm, with De-
Early offerings based on the heavy north
west receipts and in some instances a
desire TO secure profits were in large vol
ume, but December dropped off only sc
from initial prices under this pressure;
reaction was followed gradually and
drew most of the traders to the bull side.
AT It's best the market offered S1-017s for
September, $1.01h for December. and
sl.oSA for May, and these prices delivered
at the close. being for September and
December over yesterday.
Duluth was heavy buyer in this mar
ket, and one house said that the north

trade in its history. Local export brok-
ers stated that all the wheat offered
abroad last night had been accepted. an

out statements minimizing the extent of
the export business.
The talk of a reduction by Italy of the
import duty on wheat was also a factor
in determining the trend in prices. The
advance at New York created more than
a full shipping difference between that
market and this one.
The corn market was under a great
deal of pressure today. leading longs APP

their church, testified to that They all
declared that a genuine affection ex-
listed between them.
One of the sensations of the Collins
trial occurred when his most important
witness admitted in court that she had
been bribed to swear to lies to help
clear Collins. This was Ella Buchanan
She and May Burnett We're the most
important witnesses for the defense.
Mrs. Burnett testified that at 5
O'Clock the morning of the murder she
and her negro servant, Ella Buchanan,
passed the Collins home and saw a ne
rear of the house. This was important
because one of the two. unfastened
windows of the house opened upon this
shed. She was arrested for perjury
but afterwards released.
John Collins a Poor Witness.
John Collins was witness in his own
behalf. Up to the moment that he took
the witness stand he had denied posi-
lively by oral and written statements
and under oath that he knew either of
the negroes, Harper or Jordan.
But in the trial the state had proved
beyond doubt that he did know Harper
and Jordan and that he did write the
letters, and that he did give Jordan his
watch Then John went upon the wit
ness stand and admitted that he did
meet the negroes in the Smothers
home, that he did give them the dia-
mond. watch and revolver, that he did
send the kilograms and write the let
ters but he said his negotiations with
the negroes were not to have his father
killed but to have the negroes shoot
craps and gamble for him upon
shares so he could raise money to pay
his debts He admitted that he had
lied all along, to Miss Babcock about
the negroes shadowing his father, just
to scare her"
