DRASTIC CHANGES
ON ANNIVERSARY
Of BIG FAILURE
knickerb0cker Trust Closed
Doors Year Ago-Now in
Full Swing.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-One year ago
yesterday the Knickerbocker Trust
Company failed. In Wall street memo
ries of the panic OF 1907 were revived
with keen interest on the anniversary.
On October 20, 1907, the stock market
fell Z to 8 points. Yesterday stocks ad-
vanced. On October %, 1907, call money
was lent at 70 per cent. Yesterday it
vas had at / per cent. The failure of
the Knickerbocker Trust Company,
with it's $50, 900, 900 of deposits, was the
real beginning of the panic, though the
Mercantile National Bank went before.
Today the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany' is again in full swing, with its
depositors almost entirely paid off.
One year ago today, October 20, 1907,
call money rose to 125 per cent, ON the
Stock Exchange, and President Thomas
notified ]. p. Morgan that If money
was not at once forthcoming for brok-
erage loans the Stock Exchange would
be obliged to close, or hundreds of
brokers would fail. Morgan persuaded
the Clearing House banks to raise a
$25, 900, 900 fund, with which the brokers
were kept from bankruptcy.
AS compared with the prices reached
soon after the panic, the prices of fewer
than two hundred stocks and bonds on
the New York Stock Exchange at the
present time show an appreciation Of
more than two billions of dollars.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of
l point on October under realizing, but
generally 1 to 5 points higher in re-
Spouse to higher cables and continued
bad weather in Oklahoma. During the
early session the market was very
steady with business active, and de-
mand evidently broadening, although
after showing a net advance of s to 7
points OF the general list prices eased
off a point or two under heavy realiz-
Ing. One Of the reoent heavy %specula-
tive buyers was estimated to have sold
fully 10000 bales for various deliveries
during the first half hour, but these
offerings were well absorbed, and
prices were at practically the best point
during the middle Of the morning, with
fall and winter months making new
high records for the season.
After showing a net gain of 500
points during the late forenoon, the
market eased off 2 or 3 points
from the top under realizing and
rumors that m of the big loan inter-
ests was taking down profits. The I'M
dertone continued steady at midday,
however, and there was good buying at
the slight recession.
