NEW YORK June 2o.-This morning s
stock market opened at small fractional
declines from Yesterdays closing prices.
SO far as the more active stocks were con-
cerned. Reading was of a sluggish char
acter throughout the course of the bust
ness session.
There was. however. none of the con-
tinuous pressure which was observed in
yesterdays transactions. and by the close
of the first hour of business recoveries.
which in some cases were in excess of one
point were scored.
Union Pacific was the leading feature of
the market in all respects. and, together
with Reading, furnished a large proper
ton of the days total transactions.
Union Pacific was unaffected by the cir
cumstance that the new per cent bonds
declined again this morning to the lowest
quotation Yet recorded.
Price Movements Uniform.
Price movements in the railway list
were quite uniform. with rather excep-
tional weakness showing in Baltimore and
Ohio The industrial and miscellaneous
shares moved in line with the railway
stocks
Somewhat unexpectedly the American
department of the London market was
uninfiuenced by the weakness of the New
York market yesterday but the higher
range of prices received over the cables
were not followed up by operations here
for foreign account upon considerable
scale.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the country s
trade were negative exhibits and scant
interest was manifested in the outlook for

Call for Relief Meets With a
Generous Response--Train
Carrying Supplies Sent.

The people of Tonopah were ap-I
prised of the fire at 1915 yesterday
morning. The telegram received by
the Bonanza did not convey the real
seriousness of the situation and 1t
was not until 2:15 in the afternoon
that the citizens were informed of
Rawhide's complete destruction by
the merciless flames.
FIRE ALARM CALLS CROWD.
Hon. Key Pittman and j. S. Dave
lar realizing the suffering that was
imminent in the destroyed camp i'm
mediately consulted Chief Swasey of
the fire department, when 1t was de-
cided to sound the fire call to arouse
the citizens OF the town. In a few
minutes crowd of 500 people had
gathered at the corner of Brouglier
and Main streets, wondering what
had happened. They were soon in
formed by Mr.. Davelar who had
mounted the hose cart, of the total
destruction of our sister mining
camp.
In a few words the speaker told
them of the necessity of hurried ac-
ton which would be necessary to re-
lieve the sufferers, who being without
food and adequate shelter were in a
most desperate condition. The gem
erous heart of the multitude was
touched to its depth and the quick,
generous response was simply the
traditional charity for which this
great mining camp is noted. The
contributions poured into the receiv-
ing committee so fast that great diff
ficulty was experienced in getting the
names of the donors. Fully $4,000
was subscribed in thirty minutes by
the citizens, so eager were they to
show their sympathy for the distress
ed. At o'clock last evening
$2994.50 had been subscribed and
this amount will be greatly increased
tomorrow.
As soon as the conditions obtain
ing in the fire ridden camp became

RAwHIDE, Sept A gasoline
stove upsetting in DR.. Gardner's Of
fice. located in the Rawhide Drug
company's office, from some un-
known cause at $3.50 o'clock this
morning completely destroyed eight
blocks OF Rawhide's business center
and caused a loss OF nearly $1,000
600. The FIRE spread with incredible
rapldity and ate three blocks down
Rawhide avenue, and five blocks
wide to the foothills of the Grutt,
Balloon and Hoollgan mills. Heroic
efforst were made by the fire depart
ment, assisted by 500 sturdy miners,
to stay the progress of the flames,
but their work was unavailing owing
to the tinder-like construction of the
buildings. When the fire struck Col
Inns hardware, where over two tons
OF dynamite was stored, terrific ex-
plosion occurred, which caused fam
irg boards and blanks to fly in all
directions and setting fire to numer-
Gus buildings simultaneously. The
fire fighters realized vigorous mea-
sures would have to be used so dyna-
mite was brought into requisition
and buildings were dynamited right
and left. over ton and half OF
dynamite was used in the demolition
of buildings standing in the path of
the onrushing flames.
A slight wind blowing down the
gullies famed the flames. and 1t Is
owing to the prompt action of the
fremen using dynamite that a single
building is left standing. Every
building of consequence is gone
Many persons were slightly injured
In their attempts to save property

heads among them, several fatalities
were prevented.
