NEW YORK, AprU IX All the Other
issues were, obscure! In txlay stock
market, by the considerations of the de
cision against the legality of the North
ern SecurlUes Company, , As .soon , as
the course of the Northern Securities
stock on the curb became known, the
prices on the Exchange began to crum
ble. With the exception of short inter
vals during tire occasional bear cover
ing, the rest f thoe day was-given up
to drastic liquidation. "
The day's decline ranged all the way
from two to five points for the leading,
active stocks, and extended to nearly
twenty points in some exceptional cases
Weils Fargo declined' twelve; Great
Northern preferred. Lackawanna and
American Express, ten; St. Louis and
San Francisco, eight and three-quarters.
The Northern Securities itself,
which closed Thursday after the pub-.
Heat Ion of the decision at 103. made
successive downward plunges to ninety-
four. j
The' stock brokers were making urg
ent calls for additional margins and a
violent decline in the prices brought
calls from the banks for additional col
lateral on loans. It was clear-from the
action of the market that deep-seated
fears are entertained of the length to
which the Northern Securities decision
can be applied in upsetting all possible
arrangement for the avoidance of de
structive rate cutting and" competition
and in obstructing the process of com
bination f capitoal and the resulting
economies. '
