Prices Break in Panic

The news of the fire in the Sutro tun-
mel reached the city early yesterday
morning and was followed by a panic
among the Comstocks on the stock ex-
change. Prices broke with crash
while the brokers sought to get rid of
their holdings, but there were few
takers. In the afternoon there was an
other stampede to sell. The wire brought
bulletins every few minutes. and the
dispatches indicated that the danger
was far greater than it afterward
proved to be. At the close there was a
calmer feeling and prices were braced.
Losses varied from 10 to so per cent.
Ophir. the recognized leader among
the Comstocks, gave way 35 points. 1t
closed at S1.75 Wednesday evening and
sold yesterday down to S1.40. Consoli-
dated Virginia fell from SO to SO, rally
ing at the close and selling up point
or two. Yellow Jacket participated in
the panic and sank 80 notches, closing
around 90. Mexican was al approximate
ly the same figure, with like decline.
Confidence was backed down 10 num-
bers finally stopping at So. Union went
from ~ to %, Crown Point eased off -
points to 40, Savage was 10 down at 20
and Best & Belcher with a similar loss
dropped to 40. Belcher was IL points
off at 80 and Andes was cut in half to

and other stocks suffered in proportion.
The local brokers feared not only the
fire, but damage by flood. A vast sum
has been spent in draining the Com
stock, and it appeared for a time that
in fighting the fire the work of years
dicated that the loss was not as great
as was first estimated. Leon Hall, the

ASKED
FOR LINERS LOSS
Owners of Republic File Claim
for Big Damages for Sinking
of Steamship
Counter Suit Filed by Italian
Company, Alleging Florida
Not Responsible

NEW YORK. Jan. 2S.-Counsel for
the Oceanic steam navigation company,
owners of the White Star line steamer
Republic, today filed a libel in the
United States district court against the
steamer Florida of the Lloyd -Italiano
line. which ran down and sank the Re-
public off Nantucket Hghtship Dam
ages amounting to $1,50O,O00 for the
loss of the ship and 100000 for the
loss of cargo and effects of the passen-
gers and crew were claimed
1t was asserted in the libel that the
collision was. due to no fault on the
part of Captain Sealby of the Republic,
but wholly to the fault of the Florida,
which. it was alleged, did not keep "a
proper course, had no sufficient look
out, did not give proper whistles, nor
pay heed to the whistles of the Repub-
lie: that the Florida failed to indicate
her changes of helm. that she was pro-
ceeding at an immoderate speed, and
did not stop or back her engines: that
the Republic was running at regulated
speed, that the captain. two officers, a
auartermaster and a seaman were on
the bridge with two lookouts.
The court is asked to condemn the
Florida and order the payment of So
S00,0 900 damages to the owners of the
Republic
The Lloyd -Italiano Societe de Navi-
gatione, owners of the steamship Flor
ida, also filed in the United States dis
trict court libel and petition for a
limitation of liability against the Flor
ida, her freight and passage money.
The papers state that the collision was
solely caused by the faults and neglec,
on the part of the Republic. The petit
toners say that the damage value of
the Florida now does not exceed Spa
900 and asks the court to fix the liabil-
ity at not more than that amount.

ceedings against the Florida United
