A. BURKE BANKERS, Traders' Nat'l Bank Scranton, Penna. Financial and Markets A BREAK IN PRICES After Day of Rumors the Market Broke Badly Support Seemed to Be Withdrawn and Market Was Left to Take Care of Self--News of Harriman's Death Not Received Until After the Close. New York, Sept. stock market started out with the supposition, apparently, that conditions were adjusted to await the news from Mr.

Harriman's sick chamber without further feverish excitement. news of the financier's death came Just thirty-five minutes after Stock Exchange closed. The early dealings were on a sniall basis and prices were only slightly depressed and showed a capacity to rally easily. The protective measures in the market were relaxed later and when the daily crop of rumors and contradictions began to be received the gradual sag which had set in was converted into a precipitate decline. Support seemed to be withdrawn and the market left to take care of itself.

This was more notable since the volume of the selling was not large and appeared such as might have been taken care of by the powers which have appeared as supporters of prices in the recent past. The conclusion was drawn that it had been decided by the backers of the market that preparations for an expected shock would be more effective by not, attempting to hid prices artificially the advanced level. It was r.oted with interest that an active borrowing demand existed for Union Pacitic stock in the loan crowd, where the operators short of stocks assemble to fill their temporary requirements by borrowing stocks for delivery. The approaching annual meetin gof the Union Pacific, it was said, had stimulated a borrowing demand for the stock for purposes of representation. The special weakness of the Gould group WAS due to the supposed interest Mr.

Harriman has shown in the long contemplated financial plan for these properties, and which, it was feared, might he prejudiced by the new condidone. Frofessional hear selling was a conspicuous factor and the demand from this element to cover shorts worked the substantial rally from the lowest prices of the day. The break resulted in carrying prices considerably lower than were touched in the slump on Saturday, August 28. Total sales 924,700 shares, THE STOCK MARKET Sales. High.
