RAILS COLLAPSE
AFTER EARLY RISE
Frenzied Trading AcCompa-
MES Drastic Declines on
Stock Exchange Today.
III STUART 7. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The star,
NEW YORK, February 9.-The de-
mand for railway shares continued
undated for the first two hours on
the Stock Exchange today. Not only
did it make itself felt in the so-called
merger issues. but it was urgent for
seasoned dividend-p paying shares and
those thought to be underNalued III
the present market. The volume OF
business again reached enormous pro-
portions, with excitement as keen as
it had been the last two days.
Then about noon Wheeling and Lake
Erie common. which had sold at 100
yesterday, and had opened today at
Jos, broke to rs. Western Maryland
dropped to 25, where it compared with
the previous close of 1912. The mar
ket was thrown into turmoil imme-
tliately and all the low-priced railroad
stocks which had been so prominent
on the side of advance were offered
down in huge volume. The tape was
far behind actual transactions on the
floor. Chicago Great Western pre-
ferred, which had left off yesterday at
S2A broke spectacularly to around 70.
Rock Island Scars.
Nothing new was needed to account
for the sudden wave of buying, which
carried Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific TO much the highest prices since
the present organization of the COM
pany Definitely established on SIS
annual basis, the. yield was practically
per cent, which was considered at
tractive in the present rail share
market
1t was natu al for st. Louis-San
Francisco to go along with Rock
Island because of its working con-
troll through ownership of a large
amount of the latter stock. Reading
rose spectacularly to the highest since
1916 and at 113 compared with the
top of that year of 11512.
Drastic declines such as those
which occurred in the merger stocks
were nothing more than might have
been expected to follow the frenzied
speculation for the rise. 1t was
merely a case of the market for these
stocks having been bid up to eXorbi-
tant heights and to prices which every
one was well aware were not in the
least representative of earnings or
assets. Railway stocks were literally
poured upon the market. The buying
of New Haven, which has accom-
panied the report that most of the
stock recently taken out of the mar
ket was finding its way into the Penn
sylvania treasury, was abruptly sus-
pended.
IndustriaIs Decline.
1t could not have been expected
that the industrial section of the
market would have been able to stand
up in face of the abrupt turnabout
in the railway division.
Buying of Baldwin Locomotive sud-
denly ceased, but not before the price
had been carried to a new top above
166. A half-hour later it was selling
at 1872. Remington Typewriter, hav-
ing sold up sharply following the an
nouncement of the proposed merger
plans turned definitely downward with
the rest of the market. But industrials
were given little consideration in
view OF what was going on in the
railway list.

New York Bankers Coming Here.
The New York State Bankers AS
ISOLATION has voted to hold it's annual
convention in Washington on June 6,
Z and s, with headquarters at the
Mayflower. This means that between
500 and 400 and possibly more visiting
bankers, with their relatives and
friends, will be in the Capital at that
time. 1t is a coincidence that this
convention comes during the first half
of the week that has been chosen by
the District Bankers Association for
their annual convention at Hot
Springs, Va. The local bankers leave
for the Virginia resort on Wednesday
night, which will make it difficult for
them to do as elaborate entertaining
as they might otherwise arrange. Out
