NEW YORK, March 31.-People
who imagined that news of Mr.. Nor
gan's death would be greeted by some
sort of cataclysm in the financial mar
kets, were ignorant, both Of the man
ner in which sudden complications are
always guarded against in Wall
street, and of the extent to which Mr..
Morgan, during the past two years,
has withdrawn from active participa-
ton in affairs. The longer effect OF
the disappearance OF this massive
figure in finance must probably be
Judged in negative rather than a
positive way. 1t may be said of Mr..
Morgan's career, as it was said of Mr..
Harriman's at his death, three years
ago, that it belongs in reality to a
financial epoch already closed. An
other Morgan could not do, in the fu'
ture of American finance, what Nor
gan himself did In It's past; funda
mental conditions have changed toe
completely for that. therefore, IN al
/. probability, the final departure from
/ the scene Of this great inanclel
means chiefly that the financial lead
ership of the future must not only bt
in the hands of other men. but must
in the nature of things, be in the
hands Of men acting on other lines.

of the country is aware, was natural
