Prices wr Miia.shod af tin) opening of the stock market today as a result of the con tinuniiep of I ho .heavy selling which began yesterday afternoon. The rush to dispose of seen lilies seemed to indicate llial liquidation of an im portant elinrurler was under way and speculat I vi! holders of stocks gener ally hecainc! alarmed and made a pre cipitate rush to get out of the mar ket this morning. Forced selling wait caused hy calls for additional margins overnight from brokers to 1 which responses this morning were lacking or were unsatisfactory. Con gested gulling orders resulted In some wide variations In prices on simulta neous sales at the opening and or ders to sell at the market ill other slocks found no bids but at conces sions of many points. Anaconda's 14 point break was the most -conspicuous Instance. North ern Pacific opened down 5 poiills. There was one sale of 300 shares of I'liion Pacific at 142, compared with 142 ::-4 last night, but a stream of X, ()( shares immediately followed which were let, go all the way from 14 1 :!-4 to 14 0. Twenty-live thou sand shares of United Slates Steel went simultaneously at. 3S 1-4 (a 'M. compared with 159 last night. Colo rado Fuel broke 3 points, Great Northern preferred 3 1-2, Reading, Illinois-Central,' Smelting, Delaware & Hudson, locomotive, Lead and the Pressed Steel stocks 2 to 3, Minneap olis, St. Paul & Sault Ste Marie 4 1-4, Manhattan 4, and Pullman 7 1-2. Losses up to 2 points were numerous throughout the list. An immediate rebound reaching 1 to 1 1-2 in the siK'culutive leaders and 4 1-2 in Northern Pacific followed the first staggering blow at the market. At .the stock exchange it was be lieved thai the opening break repre sented further liquidation by certain large operators who were caught in last week's slump. This together with short selling by prominent traders and the absence of support by the big banking interests especially in such stocks as United States Steel, Amalgamated Copper, St. Paul and other active issues accelerated the decline. Toward 11 o'clock the mar ket rallied sharply and some shares sold above last night's prices. The early rate for call money was 8 per cent. . The first hour on the exchange was marked by scenes of wild confusion. Tho opening attendance was unus ually large and most brokers had selling orders. Many of these were at the market and others had stop loss orders. A great many of these orders were uncovered in the first fifteen minutes. As usual much of Iho selling was for out-of-town ac count and Boston is reported to have figures to no small extent. The ex citement was greatest around the 'United States Steel, Amalgamated Copper, Union Pacific, St. Paul and Heading trading posts, these stocks largely hearlng4he brunt of the early attack. The noise and confusion was so great ast obe heard almost a lilock away und the visitors' gallery or the exchange was soon filled with, sightseers. The market rallied shortly after mm and there were substantial recoveries throughout the list. Before' 1 o'clock, however, prices again started down ward, many of the gains being lost, while some of the active, issues went lower than before the rally. Cal' money advanced to 12 per cent. There were occasional rebounds ll places but periodical outbursts of II (initiation were constantly renewed up (Continued on Second Page.) DOCTOR BRIER DROPPED DEAD (Special to The Kveniug Times.)
