A DISIllUSIONMENT
 BY MR. HARTMAN
The Speculators in Pacifics Found
 They Had Been Pursuing a Phantom.

New York. Sept. 16.-All that Har riman had to impart concerning the properties in which he is interested it fell far short of what the speculative imagination had been lied to expect during weeks of buying of the stocks at steadily advancing prices. It was the disappointment on this score that caused the crumbling of prices today more than any other factor.
 The realization that there was to be no Union Pacific holding company and distribution of treasury assests, no inn mediate valuable rights in Southern Pacific in connection with financing. no extra disbursement on Northern Pacific and in fact no actuality on which to base numerous other rumOrs which have kept alive speculative en- thusiasm for some time past, left hold CTS of stocks with the dread that they had been pursuing phantOms and ov- erdoing the speculation. Reading served as the instrument for the sup port of the market. This stock was about the only one to show positive strength at any time. New York Cen tral advanced a point temporarily when it became known that the regu
 lar dividend had been declared. The relief from fears of a reduction in that dividend did not avail to restore mis- givings over dividend maintenance at other points. The two Hill stocks and Canadian Pacific were acutely af- fected. The selling pressure continued up to the close. which was weak at lowest prices. Bonds were heavy.
