NEWS OF HARRIMAN'S DEATH
COMES AFTER CLOSE
PREClPITATE DECLINES MARK
DAY OF WORRIES
Borrowing Demand for Union Pacific
Securities Is Active - Anxiety
Not AIayed by ExpIana-
tions, However
[By Associated Press.l

NEW YORK. Sept, 9.-The stock
market started out today with the sup
position, apparently, that conditions
were adjusted to await the news from
Mr.. Harriman's sick chamber without
further feverlsh excitement.
The news of the financier's death
came thirty-fve minutes after the mar
ket closed. The early dealings were
on a small scale. The protective meas
ureS in the market were relaxed later,
and when the rumors and contradic-
tions began to be 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Support seemed to be withdrawn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
itself. 1t was concluded that it had
been decided by the hackers of the
market that preparations for shock
would be more effective by not at
tempting to hold prices artificially at
the advanced level.
That opinion in the financial com
munity was prepared for an unfavor-
able termination of Mr.. Harriman's
illness was clear and was not dis
guised 1t was noted that an active
borrowing demand existed for Union
Pacific stocks in the loan crowd, where
the operators short of stocks seemed
unable to fill their temporary require
ments for delivery.
Demand Stimulated
The approaching annual meeting of
the Union Pacific, it was alleged, had
stimulated a borrowing demand for
the stock for purposes of representa-
tion. This explanation did not allay
anxiety on the part of the stockhold-
ers, as it served to give some point to
rumors of internal dissensions in the
company and to revive charges made
by Mr.. Harriman's friends of an at
tempted raid during his Illness.
Another explanation of the borrow
ing demand for Union Pacific was that
it represented sales by those inside of
the property who desired to conceal
their identity by borrowing stock for
delivery rather than appearing openly
as sellers.
An opening weakness of the Gould
group was due to the supposed interest
Mr. Hartman has shown in the long
contemplated financial plans for these
properties, and which it was feared
might be prejudiced by the new con-
ditions.
Money rates were not affected. The
break resulted in carrying prices con-
siderably lower than were touched in
the slump on Saturday, Aug. %.
Bonds were weak Total sales, par
value, 49, 246, 900. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

HI"arst News Special tn th" Graphic
 New York, May 19.-Only momen- tary furry in stock at the opening marked the demise of H. H. Rogers the Standard Oil magnate, who was stricken by apoplexy early this morn ing and died in about an hour. Less than three years ago Rogers was in full control of the stock market His death then would have created a panic. Even now he is loved by the frequenters of Wall street and death brought for genuine expressed re- gret from fnanciers. Mark Twain, on his way to visit Rogers, was told at that station that he was dead. He continued the journey to his house where he was among the first to offer consolation to the stricken widow. He\ declared it a terrible shock to have learned of Rogers death as he did! The humorist said: One has many acquaintances but few friends this time of life. Let the old man have his way with grief The coroner will not be needed to investigate as Dr. Fowler, one of the staff physi- clans which Rogers maintained to look after him, saw yesterday that Rogers was predisposed to appoplexy.
