Terrific Losses.

In October. 1912. when the Balkan war
broke out, Wall street paid comparatively
little attention to the adverse possibilities
This country bought back great mass OF
securities thrown over by foreign holders
and prlded Itself upon the ability with
which they were absorbed. IL was com
monty remarked that finance here had
little to concern itself with Developments
in the Balkans Never was situation so
mlsappraised Within seven months the
stock market here had collapsed To the
lowest levels since the 1907 panic Last
week the rumors OF serious tension In the
European situation were treated with
something OF the same indifference by
the financial community. The lesson Of
1912 had not been forgotten. but II was
pointed out that the financial position
here was sound TO the core and that specu-
lative conditions also Were unusually
healthy This was true. But the almost
Unprecedented declines that have taken

Liquidation Wholesale.

The story of the stock market yester-
day was simply one successive wave of
liquidation after another Under this sail
ing prices held with a good deal of OBJ
stnacy at first and then yielded with in
creas!ng ease as the day wore on. ending
with a period that as nearly approached
utter Generalization as anything which
has been seen for years. In the hrst hour
there was an enormous turnovar within
a narrow range. but II soon became OBJ
vious that all prices could do was barely
to hold their own. From then on the
market collapsed by stages, reacting
slightly at times, but displaying a dis
tressing absence of any substantial de-
gree OF rallying power. There was no
particular feature except the constant
supply of stocks. Losses measured by
statistics were somewhat more severe in
one quarter than another, but the selling
was made with no especial regard to the
individual merits of the securities thrown
over. Tho figures of the total sales and
the list OF declines tell the whole story.
The Street kept It's eyes on the war news.
but the fact OF the liquidation itself and
the havoc II was playing with quotations
absorbed attention.

snRtching bargains.

II goes without saying that after the
terrific collapse In prices that has &C.

prices down 20 levels that are only
touched for brief periods IN times Of
extraordinary liquidation. a great num-
Der of bargains exist for the investor

opportunities were taken advantage Of
extensively yesterday. Almost every
brokerage house IN the Street received Or
ders to buy blocks of stock for invest
ment account. Many of these orders
came from ont OF town cities. Such
transactions were quite generally cash
transactions In other cases the margins
put up were large enough to forestall
worry even in present circumstances. Re
sides the demand for securities from tn"
rich investor the odd lot houses have
been doing an enormous business Of the
same kind in the past few days. Some Of
these houses have been simply swamped
with orders and have had TO increase their

utter Generalization throughout yester-
days session. Closing prices we're 10 TO
so points net lower. or slightly better
than the opening levels. With the Havre
market closed Liquidation for European
account was largely diverted here and
the general pressure was increased by q
large volume of local liquidation. The
Hamburg and Brazilian cables also re-
iected n state of decentralization in those
markets. Rio exchange declined TO Is

was established some years ago. Cost

In the period OF greatest unsettlement
In the last hour conditions on tie floor"
became absolutely abnormal The trans
actions were enormous oven for an ex-
tremely active day and tho trading was
feverish and excited to degree. The
leading shares moved at times a point or
more between sales. The machinery OF
the exchange was inadequate to keep up
with the volume OF business, the tape run
ming at least ten minutes behind the mar
ket. Brokers had so many orders on hand
that they could not give proper attention
TO their offices and IL was impossible TO do
busin. 50 except at the market" or by
direct wire The very trend OF the mar
ket was confused by the widest kind Of
back and forth fluctuations. The condl-
tons approaching Generalization in stocks
were communicated TO the bond market

list was able 10 sell only twelve before
