MARKET JAGGED AS
 LIFE EBBED AWAY
But Financiers Seemed We'll Prepared For the News of Harri-
 mans Death.

New York, Sept. 9.-The stock mar ket started out today with the supposi- tion. apparently. that conditions were adjusted to await news from Harri- mans sick chamber without further feverish excitement. The news of the financier's death came thirty-five minutes after the market closed. Early dealings were on a small scale. Pro- tective measures in the market relaxed later. and when rumors and contradlc- tions began to be received the grad ual sag was converted into a precipi tate decline Support seemed to be withdrawn and the market was left to itself.
 It was concluded it hc I feen de- cided by the packers of the market that preparations for the shock would be more effective by not attempting to hold prices Nartificially at the ad vanced level. That the financial com munity was prepared for an unfavOr- able termination of Harriman's illness was clear and was not disguised. It was noted an active borrowing de mand existed for Union Pacific stocks in the loan crowd. It served to give some point to rumorS of internal dis sension in the company and to re- vive charges made by Harriman's friends of an attempted raid during his illness. Money rates were not affected. Prices carried considerably lower than were touched in the slump of August 2S. Bonds were weak. Unit ed States bonds were unchanged.
