Y..'-' i,, THE SORANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1809. i SENSATIONAL STOCK DECLINE SLUMP THAT CAUSED A BLEAT ING OP THE LAMBS. The Plungo In Prices Attributed to the Money Market Whore Discrim ination Was Exercised Against Certain Industrials Advice of Commission Houses Causes a Check In the Downward Tendency. An Example of Wide Movements Given by Brooklyn Rapid Transit. New York, April ".Today's sensa tional stock market was remarkable for great declines that took place In ' practically all the specialties. Losses of Importance remained at the end of the day, although the closing was strong. The potential Influence be hind today's plunge In prices was the money market, where discrimination was exercised against the Industrial securities. The Inability of some larfre llrms to renew loans on those shares as collateral made It necessary to sac rifice stocks at the best prices obtain able. Call ratea for money ranged from five to fifteen per cent., but left off at the lower figure. The forced sales by many commission houses I-fit renewed courage to the bears, who constantly found new spots of weak ness. A number of money lenders on the floor of the exchange in exchange refused to pay any attention to the bids of some brokers who were known to be trading heavily in the Indus trials. The calling In of some loans also helped to arouse alarm and In duced general selling. The weakness of many standard stocks and bonds was due to no other cause ascertain able except the selling of them by weak holders to protect securities of less certain value or to secure funds to buy the shares which had been most depressed In hope of profit on the re bound. Lonaon, which of late litis been an unimportant factor In the dealings, bought upwards of 50,100 shares on the decline here. While 'he so-called bull leaders appeared apathetic on the downward rush of quotations, heavy scale buying appear ed, carrying with it the conviction that the buyers did not believe the violence of the bear movement could last. This support gradually checked the flereo onslaught on prices and recoveries en sued. Much thought was given to the probable aspect of tomorrow's bank statement. In the rally was found In the offering of several million dollars In the loan crowd by an Interest lately very prominent among the bull lead ers. The Rally. When prices were not far from the lowest, a number of commission houses freely advised purchases where the buyer could take the securities outright or on very substantial mar gins. Buying of this character had much to do with checking the rush to sell. Many Interests which had been out of the street for a long time thought the time opportune to re purchase, as It appeared. M be unu of the bargain days -which have de veloped it, .various times of recent year: This buying gave a consider able momentum to the afternoon rally. I which embraced everything on the list and resulting in reducing the not losses to very small proportions In some cases and In establishing slight ad vances In others. An Idea of the wide movements which occurred is given by the fact that although the Brooklyn Transit broke 13?i, the net loss on the day was only 5&. Metropolitan lost 16 and gained 12&4. Sugar sagged 13V,. but only showed 2i net loss on the close. Air brake dropped 13, but ral lied 1314. American Tobacco eased off 10 points, but figured for only 3 points FINANCIAL.

United States news 4s advanced and the old 4s coupon U In the bid price, while the Cs reacted U, By Carrlngton & Cut-ack. New York, April 7. Tho market aftT h fairly steady opening developed great weakness and at ono tltne In tho day, was absolutely panicky, In Its declines. Tim drop extendlr.fr 15 per cent, in some enscs. There was tremendous liquidation by the smaller commission houses throughout tho whole list and even tho standard stocks reflected the execution of market orders without any regard to prices. Tho banks who hae been responsible for tho decline, absolutely refused accommodation on tho Industrial shares and In conse quence, houses without tho best facilities found themselves without tho means of mooting their obligation. Tho only wonder Is that failures In tho street havo not been much larger than they are. While tho market should rally und at the close has shown some cl deuces of doing so, yet before any sus. tallied upwnrd movement Is begun, will we think, sell lower again. The advance as It comes will undoubtedly bn taken ndvantago of by mnny holders to liqui date and tho conservative houses are discouraging buying except in tho first class Issues only. Such stocks as Bur lington. St Paul, Rook Islnnd, New York Central can bo safely purchased on nil tho very weak spot3, but the Industrials should bo discriminating against except on large margins. The rally which was In progress toward tho closo was almost entirely due to cov ering of short contracts, although somo of the houses professed to believe that tho Insiders were buyers at the extreme low prices. We do not blleve ourselves that any great amount of long stock has been taken on. Money promises to remain n factor for some little time to come, nnd as tho banks ns well as the commission houses havo been thoroughly scared by today's break, It will be extremely diffi cult to create renewed Interest In tho mnrket. The close was strong. Total, 1, 200,472 shares. Quotations furnished bv LABAR & Ft'LLER, stock, grain and cotton brok ers, rooms 209 nnd 21C Board of Tr.ido building, Scranton, Pn.

IN THE PLAY HOUSES. The Myers Company. The Myer's company which has played uch a successful engagement at tho Acadamy of Music this week will close Its engagement today by pre senting "The Two Orphans' 'this after noon and "After Seven Years" tonight. "The Ideals." "Hagle's Nest" at the Academy on Monday night, will be followed on Tuesday by Wilson and Wlnslow's big scenic production, "The Great North west," the strongest und heaviest play In the repertoire. A number of novel effects are shown, a particularly thrill ing and exciting climax being the great mill scene, Hhowing a large windmill in actual operation. A realistic prairie lire introduced In the -second act usually arouses the audience to the highest pitch of ex citement. On Monday at 11:30 a. m. Howson's Twentieth Century Band will ; make a. street parade giving at the conclusion a free concert. "The Man from Mexico." Willie Collier, who is devoting hi3 energies this season to making us sym pathize, with abundant mirth, with "The Man from Mexico," In his marital and other troubles, and who comes to the Lyceum Tuesday, April 11, Is on the list of tho public for promotion. It is pleasant to learn that this young comedian, ns typically American as Nat Goodwin, Is working ceaselessly to secure the high place which he will eventually attain. He has no foolish Idea of leaping Into "The Itlvals," or "David Garrlck" or anything of tho sort. Ho has the same tight before him that Nat Goodwin had, and he under stands It fully. Had Nat Goodwin HHe-ned to thousands of his warmest admirers he would be making "funny falls" In "Tho Skating Kink" tpday. Against just such well-meant dis couragement Collier will have to con tend. The first step Collier haa taken with gratifying success. The second ho Intends to tuke. Next season we are to have Mr. Collier In a new com edy of his own, "Mr. 'Smooth." If he does the uncommon thing of succeed ing In It actois are seldom playwrights--we shall haye a gladness. Whether he does this or not, he will succeed as an actor In some other fellow's play one of these days. Of course, ho had succeeded already, but the mantle of authority will ono day rest on his shoulders. Extra at the Gaiety Tonight.

Trilby, one of the four lions which belonged to Adgie, who is engaged is an extra attraction at tho Gaiety theater next week, last week In New York gave an exhibition of temper at the Dewey theater which inflicted a wound on the temple of her keeper which he will carry with him to his grace. The brute had been snarling nnd ugly all through the daring act of Mile. Adgle. nnd the little woman has applied her whip two or three times to Trilby's nose. After the act. when the curtain had been lowered and the cage pushed to one side, young Hall, the keeper of the animals, went Into the cnge to get ono of the whips and a piece of steel rod which had fallen out' of the other one. He hnd a stick In his hand ami struck out with It, then bending down picked up tho whip. In nu Instant Trilby's paw flashed out. Hall saw It and pulled back quickly, but not quite out of reach. Three claws struck his forehead and temple. Blood spurted from the wound, but Hall maintained his presence of mind nnd remained three or four minutes in tho cage chastising the animal Into submission, When nt last he backed out of tho cage It was seen that he had received n deep scratch over the temple and smaller scratches on each side. A physician was called In who put In several stitches in the larger wound. Hall was not at all dlscountenced and said that one had to expect to get scratched some time.
