FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK PRICES FALL.
Bethlehem Steel Made a Maximum
 Decline of 29 Points.

New York, May 7.-Stocks broke with extreme violence this afternoon on news of the sinking of the British liner Lusitania, presumably by a Ger man submarine. Prices fell from to almost 30 points. greatest losses be- ing sustained by the shares which have come to be known as war specialties.
 Bethlehem Steel, which early in the day assumed new prominence by sell ing up to 159, the highest price yet recorded, made a maximum decline of 29 points. Westinghouse Electric, an other stock in the same class, broke 21 points, Amalgamated Copper fell almost F points and many others from to 1G points.
 In final trading evidence of sub stantial banking support was seen in the partial recoveries, which extended to 15 points in Bethlehem Steel, 13 in Westinghouse and to points else where. The stock ticker was almost half an hour behind in recording transactions. The last thirty minutes was perhaps the most active and ex- citing period in the history of the ex- change, over 6Oo,O0o shares changing hands in that brief space of time.
 Scores of speculative accounts were sold out in the decline, which came with such force as to make calls for impaired, margins matter of extreme difficulty.
 In the early hours of the market extreme apathy and irregularity pre- vailed, the day giving promise of be- ing the dullest in a fortnight and prices at that time were exceedingly variable.
 The government report on winter wheat, which should have been a fac tor by reason of it's reassuring fea- lures, was overlooked in the excite ment of the late afternoon. Additional gold engagements from Japan were likewise ignored.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 1,150,0 GOO shares.
 Bonds were heavy, later showing weakness in speculative issues. Total sales, par value, aggregated S4,600,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged.

The handkerchief looks as if 1t

The police have questioned Bailey
about the find. The theory of Chief

some one who was intoxicated. The
