STOCKS RECOVER
FROM WAR SCARE
Heavy Selling Orders Are
Absorbed Quickly-312
Points Biggest Loss.

Heavy selling orders from all parts
of the country were thrown on the
stock market at the opening yester-
day following the reading or fuller
details concerning the torpedoing Of
the Arabic by a German submarine in
the Irish Sea. The uncertainty over
the attitude yet TO be announced by
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Lansing on the incident caused
many whose accounts were in danger
of being wiped out by a big drop in
prices to liquidate their holdings.
The readiness with which the sell
ing was absorbed, however. was one
of the big surprises of the day in
Wall Street. While losses at the open
ing were severe, a number of indus
trials declining from 3 to 10 points
in the first few minutes of trading,
the closing quotations showed a re-
covery sufficient to Offset much Of tho
earlier weakness. with the result that
the biggest loss recorded in the active
issues when the gong sounded at 3
o'clock was 81 points in General
Motors.
On the other hand Bethlehem Steel
sold up 10 points. the preferred stock
being a close second with gain Of
Ga. Other gains registered at the
close were American Coal Products
Az, American Linseed ., Rock Island
81 and Tennessee Copper 2l2.
The bulk of the selling on the early
declines was attributed to the West
ern speculative element. After the
first rccessions, although many dis
quoting developments occurred in
GLIDING the sinking of additional
British vessels, the important price
movements were to higher figures.
Among the widest fluctuations was a
decline Of 6 points to 1913 in New York
Air Brake at the opening followed by
an upturn on which the price rose
above Thursdays final figures. Stude-
baker, which dropped tx points at tn r
opening TO 100, rallied to JOE. and
Crucible Steel, which fell 4 points.
rallied 10 1884. United States Steel
common. which yielded over 2 points IN
the first half hour in wild trading re
covered over half its loss before the
end of the day.
The unsettlement Of the market was
more pronounced AZ yesterdays Omen
ing than when the news of the sink
ing Of the Arabic was first published.
After the close Thursday and late in
the NIGHT brokers were busiily engaged
in arranging customers accounts: Al
the opening yesterday it was found
that few buying orders were in hand
lecause of the large number Of can
ccNa:ions sent IN. An increased buy
ing demand became noticeable, how
ever. after the first fifteen minutes OF

INTERNED SHIP
ABLAZE In HARB0R
Mysterious Blaze on the Har-
burg, from Hamburg, Does
$4,000 Damage.

The big German freight steamship
Harburg, of Hamburg, interned here
since the outbreak of the world war,
was threatened with destruction by
mysterious fire which broke out in her
afterhold while at anchor in the bay
off Stapleton, Staten Island, shortly
after l o'clock yesterday afternoon.
While the crew was fighting the
flames, fire signals were answered by
Captain George Stapleton, of the tug
boat Stapleton. The Stapleton hauled
alongside of the Harburg and played
two streams of water in the hold. An
alarm was sent to fire headquarters at
st. George, and the freboat Seth Low
was dispatched to the ship. After an
hours WORK the fire was put out. The
damage was $4,000.
It was given out aboard the ship
iater in the day that the fire might
have been caused 0y one of the sailors
dropping a Lighted match into the hold.
With the matches over the hold, little
credcnce is given to this story.

MORE SKELETONS
FOUND IN YONkERS
Bones May Be Those of Small
pox Victims, Buried During
Epidemic Years Ago.

Workmen who Wednesday uncovered
the skeleton of young woman while
digging near the Lincoln Park station
at Yonkers yesterday unearthed the
skeletons of three men in the same
place.
DR.. H. L. Kennedy who was sent by
Coroner Dunn to examine the bones,
said they had probably been inferred
about ten years. Two bottles were
also found, one of them believed to
have come from the drug store of A.
Berger, for many years in business IN
Rivcrdale Avenue, but now retired.
The Coroner is trying 10 find George
Pilson, a former member Of the Yon-
kers Board OF Health. At the time Of
smallpox epidemic about ten years
ago Pilson had charge of the disposal
Of the bodies Of victims. II is thought
that several may have been buried
where the bones were found.
