in Europe, alarmed at the dissolution
suit, poured in their orders to sell,
When the stock exchange opened bro
kers were massed about the post at
which steel stocks are traded in,
scrambing in confusion to execute
their orders. The price of the com
mon stock dropped precipitately from
5Sls to 551s on initial transactions
amounting to $4,000 shares.
Throughout the morning prices
rose and fell in feyerish fashion. The
low point for the day for the common
stock was So loss of Sb points.
and the bottom figure since 1903.
During the day 100000 shares were
traded in. The preferred stock fell
more than Eve points TO 103. The
stock market in general was affected
by the movement, and the standard
railroad and industrial shares fell
from two to five points. In the after
noon the market recovered some OF
its losses, and at the close prices
ranged considerably above the lowest
of the day. United States steel com.
mon rallied to 525s and the preferred

ton of Mr.. Harris.
President w. H. Nichols presented
to the club an opportunity to secure
portion of the Lampman farm for

no definite action was taken it was
the general impression of the mem
