New York, Sept. Hartman ILL
ness again sent a shiver through the
worlds securities markets today and
broke a wide hole in prices here. The
violence of the decline at New York
was much aggravated by rumors cur
rent before the stock market opened
that the financier was dead. This in
fluence was not dissipated by the
sociates that they understood he was
better after the attack of Indigestion
but the lack of an official annonce-
ment after last weeks assurances
that all changes would reported, LETT
the speculative sentiment timid, ner-
vous and depressed. The selling was
not notably large even the opening
break, but the demand was too eau
tious to support prices. The question
was advanced whether much was left
now in the way of any effect on the
prices even in the event of Harrimas
death. 1t was considered certain
that the utmost precautions had been
taken to meet any sudden emergency,
both in the administrative and finan-
cial affairs of the Hartman compa-
MES themselves, and in the NOR essen
sitive organization of the speculative
markets. The action of the market to,
day gave sufficient testimony to the
measures taken to resist a precipitate
decline.
The weak closing at lowest prices
of the day was accompanied by the re-
iterated bulletins Affirming Hartmann
