STOCK MARKET
Tne Harrlman and 3Iorgan-IIlll
Interests Said to be at War
Over Union Pacific, With the
Former In Control of the Situ
t atlon.
New York, May 8. -The stbek market
was utterly demoralized this morning,
by the development In Northern Pa
cific. What were only sinister rumors
yesterday had taitei form in positive
.assertions that the iHarriman interests,
4n retaliation for the recent attempt
to sPrfMirA control of Union Pacific, had
."fX.-K" -! - '
turned uppn the Morgan-Hill -mterests-
and had wrested from them theconof
ot;lie Northern Pacific. The competi-
tlve buying caused a virtual comer in
the stockj to the discomfiture and
panic of a yery large short Interest.
The. collateral consequences . of the
opinion of the war thus disclosed be
tween the most powerful financial in
terests in the country caused acute
alarm among the large interest long of
the market, on the supposition that the
great financial. interests of the country ,
were working In accord to secure a
hamciiocis coMUty Of interests
throughout the entire world. The Har
rlman interests, supposedly backed by
the ulGs.and Standard Oil interests,
in bitter warfare with the Vanderbilt-Morgan-and-Hill
Interests offered
alarming suggestions to the heated im
agination of speculators. While shorts
were bidding any prices tor Northern
Pacific, therefore, speculators were un
loading otier stocks all through the
list. By some means Northern Pacific
had been forced 10 points under last
night's close in the London market
this morning. The opening sale here
was of 2,000 shares at 155, a rise of 22
over the mornings London price. On
subsequent jjurchsses of blocks not ex
ceeding ,2,00(1 ahares, the price 3umied

n50,OOOcTIRE IN AUGUSTA
The Cotton Warehouse Xi
trlet the Scene or an Ugly Con
flagration. Augusta, Ga., May 8. What looked
to be a fire that would stop only when.
it had wiped out the cotton storage
district of Augusta, broke out In one of
the storage compartments of the Union.
Compress Company's building at one
o'clock today. When the blaze was
discovered it had gained sufficient head
way to cover the roof of the building"
before the alarm could be responded to.
An alley way about six feet wide separates-
the compress and Phinizy &
Co's warehouse. The high breeze that
was blowing in very short time swept
the flames over the heads of the fire
men to this building, in which was
stored 1,200 bales of cotton. From
here it was blown to Whitney & Com
pany's warehouse and seemed beyond
the control of the department. In the
Whitney warehouse there were 2,500
baies stored, and soon the whole was a
roaring mass of flames.
The walls of this structure were the
only ones to give away. Had it not
been for this the fire department could
not have stopped it where It did.though
they are being highly commended on
all sides, the mayor personally thank
ing the chief of the fire department.
The losses are as follows on the cotton:
Whitney & Co., ?105,000; Phinizy & Co.
$50,400; Compress Company, $4,000.
From this it is possible that $5)000
calf be saved by salvage The loss 6nV"
the buildings is estimated at $3,500.
The cotton was fully insured.
