The New York Sun financial review said today: Wall Street's attack of the blues yes terday evidently spread over a good part of the country through the night. The railroad stocks led in the sacrifi cial offering and tho movement was ag gravated by tho rumor that President Wilson had decided on Justice Brandeis to head the operation of railroads under his plan for government. Wall Street would naturally like to see a railroad man in that important po sition. Many of the railroad stocks touched new low reeords for a number of years, such as Union Pacific, North ern Pacific, Canadian 'Pacific, Great Northern and so on. Losses ranged from two to four points there as well as among the industrials. Copper stocks were disposed to be strong in the early trading, but they soon sold down frac tionally below thejjrcvious closing. Ma rine preferred lost its early gain and sold below 89. Selling was less urgent in the late trading until just before the closing, when the drive against values was re newed and additional losses of a point or more were recorded. Particular pressure was exerted against the steel group. Union Men of Twin Cities t Would Tie Up Industries Minneapolis, Dec. 12.
