AFFECTED MARKET
MOrgan's Reported Illness
Caused FURRY.
Stocks Went Down i'm a
Hurry.
PRICES MENDED SLOWLY
Threatened Railroad Strike
Also Has Effect.
The Market Closed Nervous
and Unsettled.

New York, Feb. 17.--Coming or top
of the unfavorable developments which
already had weakened the speculative
population reports of ]. P Morgan
illness caused a deluge of selling on
the stock market today and some
shares fell to the lowest level of more
than year. Foreign houses were ac-
tive sellers especially of steel, Cana
dian Pacific. Reading and Union Pa
cific liquidation was in force also in
numerous minor stocks against which
there has been discrimination on the
part of of the banking institutions in
the placing of loans.
When the first excitement wore off
prices began to mend slowly but the
recovery was hating and traders were
cautious about taking a definite stand.
The critical point reached in neGo-
tiations to avert strike of railway
hremen was an unscttling factor which
helped to restrain speculation. Bonds
were heavy.
j. p. Morgan & Co also received a
cabiegram from Mr.. Morgan. 1t was
dated Cairo and said MIR. Morgan was
in good spirits and probably would stay
q fortnight.
Reports of Mr.. Morgan's illness
alarmed spectators in the New York
stock market, and when trading be-
gan, stocks were unloaded in large
amounts. Bull traders hastily closed
out contracts and there was also heavy
selling by the bears. Prices broke alb
ruptly.
In all the speculative leaders there
were wide openings" The first trans
actions in steel amounted to over 5000
shares at g. to 607s, a maximum de-
cline of two points. Sales of 1,5O0 L.
p. broke the price of that stock to 155,
a two point decline. Reading sustained
a like loss. Aside from steel the 81
called Morgan stocks We're fairly
steady. Losses throughout the market
ranged from four points in Canadian
Pacific to a point or more in a long
list of railroad and industrial stock.
The reassuring reports concerning MIR.
Morgans condition soon stemmed lie
tide of selling and at the end of the
first hour the market was steady and
price read reached a slightly higher
level.
The market closed unsettled. Acute
weakness broke out in new quarters
and there was further selling of the
previous year weak features which put
down many stocks to the lowest of the
day.
Missouri Pacific went off over three
points in short order and round
amounts of some of the higher priced
railroads were also sold.
Partial recoveries were made later
but the general movement. was nervous
and unsettled. TT s.
