SUPPORT SEEMED TO Be WITHDRAWN
Announcement of Harriman's Death
Came Just Thirty-five Minutes A.
ter Exchange closed-opirion is
Financlers Are Prepared.
(By Associated Press.)

market started out today with the
supposition, apparently. that condi-
tions were adjusted to await the news
from Mr.. Harrimans sick chamber
without further feverish excitement.
The news of the fnancier's death
came just 50 minutes after the stock
exchange closed. The early dealings
were on small basis and prices
were only slightly depressed and
showed a capacity to rally easily. The
protective measures in the market
were relaxed later and when the daily
crop of runners and contradictions be-
gan to te received the gradual sag
which had set in was converted into
a precipitate decline.
Support seemed to be withdrawn
and the market left to take care of It
self
The opinion in the financial COM
munity was prepared for an unfavora-
BILE termination of Mr.. Harriman's Ill
ness, was clear and was not dis
guised. The divergence of opinions
began on the topic of probable effect
on the stock market Of the event.
These varied as widely as between
predictions of probable rally in the
market on account OF an over extern
sion of the short interests and dire
prophecies of a disastrous slump III
the whole market.
The belief that a breach had &C.
Cured among interests hitherto act
ing in conscrt in Union Pacific gave
greater credence to reports that this
difference had spread into the bank
ing world and involved important in
terests which had been brought into
strong accord In the troubled period
during the financial panic, when
spirit of cooperation was life. Cables
from abroad indicated An apprehen-
sion amongst foreigners that the In
tegrity CT the market pool in United
States Steel was threatened by this
rupture.
The amount CT the load witch this
reputed pooh is carrying Is estimated
at enormous figures owing to the de-
termined absorption OF that stock az
all levels and against all Obstacles
which has been long evident
Special weakness of the Gould
group was due to the supposed in
terest Mr.. Hartman has shown IN
the long contemplated financial plan
for these properties, and which, II
was feared, might be prejudiced by
the new conditions.
Professional bear selling was con-
spicuous factor and the demand frcm
this element to cover shorts worked
the substantial rally from the loves,
prices OF the day. The break result
ed in carving prices considerably
lower than were touched in the
slump on Saturday, August s.

proyements in the building, prepara-
tory to expanding Their business to

ago
The work Of making the necessary

rapidity, and as soon rs ii is com
pletcd the company will occupy all of
the second and third floors, giving
them double the room that they have
at present.
The factory has steadily outgrown
its present quarters, which are now
inadequate for the business. In order
70 work more men, it was necessary
to have enlarsed quarters, and this
the people OF Brunswick agreed to give

of the new cigarmakers have already
arrived in the city, having come yes
terday from Tampa A number of
others have been engaged and they
win be here as soon as the company
gets the third floor of the building.
The enlarged force will, naturally,
increase the weekly payroll of the
company and will add considerably to
its capacity, turning out many thou
sand cigars daily The payroll. with
the increased force. will be in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 per week.
