Another Bad Slump on the
Stock Exchange.
BUYING ORDERS SCARCE
No Known Cause for Depression
Aside From Political Considerations
and Rumors T1at Federal Author
tiles Were About to Institute Pro-
ceedings Against Some Large Indus
trial Corporations. j,

New York, Sept. 23.-Stocks had
another sensational break after an
hour of uncertain and irregular fluc-
tuations. On the decline such influ-
entail stocks as Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific and Amalgamated Copper
broke half point between sales of
small blocks, In some cases only of
100 shares. At intervals there we're
transactions in blocks of several thou
sand shares. Professional operations
on the bear side were evident not only
in the manner of the decline but in
the quick rallies on short covering.
The bulls made an effective opposi-
ton, however, in the form of support
ing orders: Brokers on the floor of
the Stock Exchange reported the mar
ket practically bare of buying orders.
The violent break came, however, aft
er some show of recovery and of pos
tive strength in the few stocks. The
fall overnight reached 81 in Della
ware and Hudson, 81 in Louisville
and Nashville, 3 in Union Pacific and
Illinois Central, 21k in Anaconda, in
Northern Pacific, Great Northern Ore
certificates and Amalgamated Copper
and 1% in Southern Pacific and Unit
ed States Steel.
Apart from the political considera-
lions and rumors that federal author
tiles were about to intitute proceed
ings against some of the large indus
trial corporations, including the elec-
trical companies, there was no news
to account for the break. Just before
noon the market was at it's weakest.
The rapid fall in prices and the WHIP
ing out of margins created uneasiness
and added to the heavy selling. Union
Pacific broke through $50 amid great
excitement and there were declines
of to points in Reading, Amalga-
mated Copper, Illinois Central, Louis
vile and Nashville, Southern Pacific
and others.

PLANS OF THE TUNNEL COMPANIES.
The Hudson Manhattan Railroad Company
expects to have completed by next year the build
ing Of the Cortlandt street tubes. which extend
from the Hudson Terminal Buildings at Cortlandt
and Church streets Manhattan to the Jersey shore,
and In the early part Of 1910 the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Is likely TO have in operation its river
tunnels. extending from the heart of the principal
retail shopping district and theatre of
haitian Island TO the Jersey shore. Some months
ago the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Company
opened its river tubes between Manhattan and Ho-
boken and since then it has been slowly opening
up its Sixth avenue extension, which is an impor-
tant part of that tunnel system, and which will
have its northery terminal at S3d street and Sixth
avenue. II is now possible to make the journey by
the Morton street tunnel route between Manhattan
Island and the Jersey shore in about five minutes,
and when the Cortla ndt street tubes opened TO
the public and the New Jersey plans of the com
pany are perfected, which will be in the fut-
ure, # will be possible TO ride from the terminal
station at 2sd street, Manhattan Island. to New
ark !n about twenty minutes at all hours of the
night and day.
ROUTES MAY BE ENLARGED.
There have been many rumors recently that the
Hudson & Manhattan company is likely to extend
its suburban tunnel when its Cortlandt street
twin tubes opened to the public. that many
hourishing towns in New Jersey now outside OF the
tunnel zone will be within its borders In the
northerly sections OF New Jersey, not many miles
from the City Hall. Manhattan. are to be found
some Of the most attractive suburban fields of the
greater city The land IN the northerly sections
mostly rolling. and the rural charms there
many and therefore diversified. The heathfulness
Of the sections is well known In fact It would be

gion in this country. 1t has been frequently said
that New Jersey is the Of great real
estate boom That assertion appears to be well
founded.
