Wall Street Suffers From
Selling Fever.
ALL STOCKS LOOK ALIKE
Money for Long-Time Loans
in Nonpaying Industries.
PLENTY OF CAPITAL ON CALL
Jacob If. Schiff Holds the Alarm Is
UndueSource of the Orders
to Unload Is a Baf
fling Mystery.
TVhlle money rates hardened both
on call and time on Wall street yes
terday, there was no indication of
stringency in any case. Liquidation,
however, was general, but mostly for
small amounts. All the foreign centers
'which hold any appreciable quantity
of American securities also figured In
the selling. News of a. favorable tenor
was ignored, and the demand practical
ly paralyzed, except for occasional buy
ing by uncovered shorts. Bonds -were
weak, in sympathy with stocks.
. NEW YORK, Sept. 2S. Wall street spent
another gloomy day which was devoted
mostly to trying to puzzle out where the
unending stream of liquidation came from
and what caused it. Information on the
subject, or even authoritative opinions,
were extremely hard to get. It Is pointed
out that the great bankers and capitalists
were not heard of in the warning last
year during the high range of prices, wh'lle
they are seeking a profitable market for
their holdings at this level. From this, it
is Inferred that the buyers of a class
which decides market movement would
not be heard pf lncitjng others to buy if
they were themselves seeking securities
on cheap terms in the present market.
A Baffling Mystery.
There Is, In fact, rather a notable lack
of public quotations of authority pointing
to the cheapness of stocks which has been
heard from time to time during the course
of the long decline and at price levels
considerably above the present. But it
Is equally true that men seeking
market to realize ready money at forced
sale of securities are not likely to miss
any means of concealing their transac
tions. The source of selling orders in the
present market. Is a baffling mystery, and
Inferences usually drawn from the per
sonality of the brokers- employed are al
most Invariably at fault.
The conditions which prompt the liqui
dation and the probable limits of Its ex
tent are consequently the subject of grave
disquiet and apprehension. It was the
failure of stockjobbing operations that
brought the early selling and the losses
reported were almost wholly on paper, as
the previous gains had been. But later
episodes represent the failure of enter
prises in which extensive capital has been
embarked, at demonstrably unproductive
employment. Capital thus sunk Is capital
lost.
Loan Money on Non-Paylnsr Projects
Controller Eldgley's expression before
the Maryland and Washington bankers,
that "a large percentage of the loaning
power has gone Into unproductive Inter
ests" formulates the dread of Wall street
over the present situation. The reaction
in the iron and steel Industries, the high
interest rates, especially on mercantile
paper, and the curtailment of production
in other lines caused the fear that over
extension has spread to industrial and
commercial lines, representing additional
"unproductive interests" to be followed by
liquidation and contraction.
The present course of the banks is di
rected toward conserving the commercial
and Industrial needs of credits, and to this
end they are Inexorable to all promotions
and financing projeefs. The miscarriage
of these projects Is still the cause
most of the liquidation. While the great
majority of Wall street's prominent men
show a decided disinclination to talk for
publication, inquiry among the very high
est interests elicits statements that no
developments of a serious or untoward
character are apprehended.
SCHIFF FEARS NO SQUEEZE.
Noted Financier Says Selling Feve
is On and Must Run Its Course.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Jacob H. Schiff,
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., commenting upon
stock-market conditions, said:
' Jt is simply a fever which must run
Its course. Just as we had a buying fever
two years ago and even last year. So the
gelling fever has now taken, hold of the
people, and reason counts for nothing,
".o matter what may be said as to the
causes which have brought about the pres
ent situation, prevailing conditions
throughout the country do not justify the
existing great decline In substantial se
curltles.. The time will come when people
will wonder how conditions such as we
see now could have existed.
"It does not appear probable that the
much-feared money stringency will ma
terialize. In fact, money is abundant
now, only those who control the supply
are afraid, in the uncertain state of af
fairs, to tfart with it. The consequence
is that we have a superabundant supply
of money on daily call, while time money
cannot be had In large amounts.
"But this will change, especially as It
Is almost certain that with the Inability
of corporations to finance 'their require
ments general business throughout the
country must, after a time, fall off, and
when that moment arrives we shall have
a large amount of funds seeking employ
ment. These surplus funds, will, to some
extent, determine the value for ordinary '
purposes, of our superabundant volume of
currency, and we shall again witness an
Increased demand for securities. So that
It Is not at all unlikely, though this may
seem paradoxical, that when railroad
earnings begin to decrease because of re
duced general business, the values of rail
road securities will Degin to increase
again."
CARNEGIES IS NOT WORRYING.
Slump -in Steel Stocks Won't Affect
Him or His Library Gifts.
LONDON. Sent. 28. The renewed neavy
realizations, chiefly In the list of invest
ment securities, caused a demlnstratlon on
the stock markets today, almost amount
ing to a panic. Consols once toucned
being a full point beneath the lowest
reached during the Franco-German "War.
A heavy liquidation is said to be due to
the needs of American financiers and spec
ulators. Apprehension Is felt regarding the posi
tion In Wall Street, and anxiety is enter
tained concerning the Stock Exchange set
tlement here Wednesday. There are ru
mors of probable failures, which in the
best informed quarters, however, are said
to be exaggerated. The slump In United
States Steel stock caused some anxiety aa
to its probable effect on Andrew Carnegie's
library endowments. It is said, however.
Mr. Carnegie views the slump with the
utmost complacency. An appeal to him
today on this subject elicited the follow
ing response:
"Mr. Carnegie never owned any second-
mortgage bonds or shares of the "United
States Steel Trust. His bonds are first-
mortgage bonds, covering all the property,
and are not -quoted upon the Stock Ex
change.'
UNION MUSICIANS BALK.
Won't Play at Chicago Celebration
Because Marine Band Is Engaged.
CHICAGO, Sept 28. The marchers in
the big centennial parade tomorrow
night will be compelled to tramp over
the route without a musical note to cheer
them. The Musicians' Union tonight
positively refused to take part in the
parade or to have anything whatever to
do with the centennial celebration if the
Marine Band of Washington is to play
at the mass meeting at the Auditorium
on Thursday night, which is to bo the
final act of the celebration.
The union declares Its constitution
forbids Its members to have anything to
do with on event In which enlisted men
In the Government service tako part.
The union therefore demands that the
Invitation to the Marine Band be with
drawn, or the union musicians will de
cline to furnish music for the parade,
for the banquet of the Mayors Wednes
day night, or for any other part of the
centennial celebration.
The committee of arrangements for the
centennial Informed the union tonight
that the invitation to the Marine Band
would stand, no matter what1 action was
taken by the local musicians. The union
at once decided It could not recede from
the position It had taken, and it so In
formed the committee. It was decided
by the committee to go ahead with their
plans Just as though there were no such
thing as music. The playing by the Ma
rine Band Thursday night will therefore
be the only music of the celebration. It
was not the intention of the committee
to use the Marino Band for anything but
the mass meeting on that one evening.

NEW YORK, Sept 28. After one of the
most riotous scenes ever enacted In a
political meeting In Brooklyn, tho Re
publican county slate made by ex-LIeu-
tenant-Governor Timothy L. Woodruff,
was smashed tonight, and Henry Belden
Ketchum was nominated for District At

While the convention was In an uproar

from his body by his partisans, who at
tempted to drag him from the room to
prevent his withdrawal. In the street,
Mr. Ketchum fainted.
Tho noise of the riot drew tho police

WOLCOTT SPLITS THE PARTY.
Denver Renublicans May Not Get
Into the State Convention.
DENVER, Colo., Sept 28. The Repubr
lican State Convention to select a mem
ber of the Supreme Court, to succeed
Presiding Justice John Campbell, whose
term expires, will meet nere tomorrow
Today two conventions of the Republic
ans of the City and County of Denver
were held, and contesting delegations will
ask for recognition by the state conven
tion tomorrow. There is said to be
strong likelihood that neither will be seat
ed, and Denver "will be unrepresented.
The spilt In Denver is not due to adher
ence to opposing candidates, as there now
seems little doubt that Judge Campbell
will be unanimously chosen to succeed
himself, but to the question whether the
party leadership shall rest with ex-Sen
ator Edward o. Wolcott. Tnere were
many charges of fraud In the primary
election Saturday, not less than 79 of the
204 precincts sending contesting delega
tions to the city and county convention
Of these only two anti-Wolcott delega
tions were declared elected by the cen
tral committee. As a consequence, the
anti-Wolcott delegates declined to attend
the convention called at the Tabor Opera-
House, .but organized another convention
at Coliseum Hall.
The Republican State Central Commit
tee met tonight to make up the temporary
roll of the state convention. The Denver
contests were presented, but the commit
tee adjourned without action.
It Is predicted tonight that two state
conventions will result from the split In

platform adopted Is substantially the

there has been no permanent settlement
of the conditions which gave rise to the
strike of last year.

CLEVELAND. Sept 28. Charles P. Sa-

Committee, has made tho following reply
to Chairman Dick's letter of last night
sent from Columbus.
"Dear Sir: Your two-column letter

But for your assertion of your own can

"The paramount Issue of the Senatorial

Everything Movable in Office of Min

the Street-Cars Are Charged
Upon and Tied Up.
The Inability of tho Lake Superior
Consolidated Company to keep Its
promise to raise the money duo Its
army of laborers (some $200,000) has
led to serious trouble at Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich. Tho men have armed
themselves, and virtually control the
town. Acts of violence have caused an
appeal to be made to Toronto for
troops, which are expected to arrive
today.
Pour hundred employes of the com
pany in the woods were to have been
furnished transportation to Sault Ste.
Marie last night, but, in view of tho
rioting, the company refused to run a
train. This greatly angered the men,
and they are now marching on the
town. Their arrival probably means a
renewal of the disturbances. A receiver
for the company was named yesterday,
but Speyer & Co., of New York, who
hold a $5,050,000 mortgage on tho
property, declare nothing can stop its
sale October 1.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich., Sept 2S.
The Canadian Soo has been the scene of
serious rioting by the discharged em
ployes of the Consolidated Lake Superior
Company all day, and tonight the situa
tion is verj grave.
Trouble came when the company put
the men off the premises when they de
manded their promised pay. The labor
ers broke away from all restraint the
large force of special police could exert.
and smashed every window in the magnifi
cent building of the company in the
Canadian Soo, charged upon the street
cars and demanded that the conductors
and motormen join them, and were only
prevented from doing further damage by
a clever ruse of one of the company's of- ,
ficlals, who turned in a fire alarm to di
vert attention.
Appeal has been made to Toronto for
troops, but no re-enforcements had ar
rived at nightfall, and the only defense
against the mob, which grows hourly. Is
a more or less demoralized police de
partment and a small company of local
militiamen. A battalion of regulars from
Toronto, the King's Grenadiers, la ex
pected to arrive at 7 o'clock tomorrow
morning, and their coming is awaited with
feverish impatience. Another company of
militia- from Sudbury Is also expected by
that time.
Destroy Everything; Movable.
In the assault upon the office building
by the mob early this afternoon, before
the arrival on the ground of troops, the
frenzied, rioters secured possession of tho
ground floor of the building, destroying
everything movable that came in their
path. A crowd of the office staff, with
drawn revolvers, prevented their gaining
access to the upper floors of the build
ing. The arrival of the troops on the ground
armed with ball cartridges about 2 o'clock
served to restore some semblance of or
der. The rioters then contented them
selves with throwing stones at tho build
ing and hurling Invectives at the soldiers,
who established a "dead line" and pre
vented any approach toward the building
by any of the rioters.
The greatest number of the mob are
ignorant Italians. Finns, Norwegians and
Frenchmen, the latter perhaps the hard
est of all to handle. All have been drink
ing more or less, although the bars this
afternoon obeyed the order to close. The
mob Is one that cannot be reasoned with,
and the man they seem most anxious to
get at is Mr. Coyne, the assistant man
ager, who. In the absence of Mr. Shields,
Is In charge of the works. Mr. Coyne has
discreetly kept out of sight all day.
Hotel Turned Over to Men.
Lato this afternoon the leaders' of the
mob held a conference, and demanded
that the company put men In their hotel
and boarding-houses and feed them until
the money for their wages is forthcom
ing. In order to appease the crowd, this
demand was granted, and the men have
taken possession of the White House,
a large boarding-house operated by the
company. Provisions are being sent there
to feea them.
Tonight the men held a mass meeting In
the hotel, but it was unexpectedly quiet
and orderly. An attempt was made to
allay the passions of the men by an offer
by the Brotherhood of Woodmen, an or
ganization maintained among the lumber
men, to furnish an attorney free of charge
to collect all pay checks left In his hands.
About 10:30 an alarm of fire was turned In
from the pulp mills, and the department
responded, but no blaze could be discov
ered. The turning In of the alarm was
evidently the work of some of the rough
element which has gathered In large pro
portions to help along the work of disor
der. An effort was made late today to get
TVtmnnuea on Second lra.se.)
