CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO. May s.-Huge sales. the

entering the war, and that the grsa..

chances Of transatlantic grain ship
ments from the United States being
temporarily brought to a halt: 1t was
said that at least dozen British freight

New York Post.
EXPLAINS SIGNIFICANCE
OF TUMBLE IN STOCKS
Says Fact That World Was in Pres
ence of Frightful Phenomenon
Was Sensed.
From the New York Evening Fost.

From the New York Evening Pns;
II was possible to say of the COM
munity at large and of Wall street in
particular when the news Of the Lust
tania came in that the feeling of hor-
ror and detestation at this frightful
act so far superseded every other con-
sideratibn as to leave no possibility of
drawing conclusions as to what must
follow it. Even the stock market hest
tated. partly because of unwillngness
to believe the news, partly because of
utter bewiiderment as to those other
grave questions involved in it. But this
very bewilderment then had its quite
unavoidable result. The stock CA
change. which often and accurately
foreshadows the feeling of the nation at
conjunctures not Immediately bound
UP with material affairs, fell into the
almost panicky disorder which will
make Yesterday one of the landmarks
in Wall street history.
May Not Stand Out.
Purely as a financial landmark, it is
hardly proba BILE that the eth of May,
1915. will stand out in Renaissance ex-
actly like the 9th of May. 1901, or the
18th of October, 1907, the war
panic day" of July so. 1914. Yester-
days declines in stocks which had been
the focus of the past months extrava-
giant speculation ran to such extremes
as SIS points in American Can, 91a in
National Lead. 10k in American Loco
motive. tx in Amalgamated Copper.
II in Westinghouse Electric and 20
in Bethlehem Steel. and these descents
would of themselves make respectable
comparison with the other celebrated
days just referred to. But the per-
manent interest in those occas ions
arose from the fact that they marked
the elimination and closing of an
epoch-making financial and economic
movement. Each of them was so rec
ognized at the time, but nobody CLASH
fed yesterdays market precisely in
that way.

The Real Significance.

It was difficult to classify it's real sig
nificance. because of the character Of
the news that wrecked the market. The
principle is perfectly understood by in
telligent Wall street men, that when
speculation has been running wild. and
especially when it's extravagances have
been grounded on the assumption that
news will never be anything but favor
able. any news that comes with a shock
will bring the reckoning. But yester
days market will be associated in a
very unusual way with the news which
Immediately caused it. That it ap-
pealed with the violence it did to the
financial as we'll as the popular imag-
ination was due to all the circum-
stances Of the case
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-05-09
OF Different Character.

When Wall street men asked one an
other, after hearing yesterdays news,
What does 1t mean and, What does 1t
foreshadow? they were not speaking of
the stock market. or even of the tech
nicalities of international law. The
questions were a bewildered testimony
10 the feeling that the world was In
the presence of a frightful phenome-
OF CIVILIZATION An appalling sense that
a Frankenstein was running loose
among the nations. and that what had
been done might be only a prelude to
what would be done hereafter. testi-
fed to a situation which in one way or
another. even stock exchange could
not keep out of it's reckoning 1t was
this mood of the financial community
yesterday. which gave to the occa sion
different character from that of 9th
er violent readjustments in the mar
ket.

As the War Goes On,

What is the bearing Of the Lusitania
incident on the war itselfe This is one
question which would determine fnan-
cial differences. Wall street is not ready
with the answer. OF the notion that
this ferocious and wicked act has any
connection with the strategic fortunes
OF the war. there was yesterday not
the slightest trace. Very few people in
the financial community suggested for
moment that the occurrence of yes
terday would interrupt the movement
Of ocean trade between the United
States and England.
This, in it's full scope, remains no
easy doubt which arose In a good many
minds concerned the question, what IL
70 be the later character of a war
whose first few months have been
marked by such departure from the
principles of humanity and civiliza-
ton? Will this series of portentous in
cidents go on rising to yet more
CHASTITY climax Will one side be tempt.

vices which that other has employed
