STOCK PRICES TUMBLE. LOW RECORDS FOR YEAR. Union Pacific Leads Decline Be came of Harriman Rumor. The etook market suffered its sharpest decline cf the week yesterday, many low record prices for the year being made and the close being at about the bottom. Heavy London selling, which ]s unusual on a Saturday, was an unfavorable feature, but the principal influence aiding In the decline was the telegraphed report that a policy of retrenchment was to be put into effect on the Harriman eystem. which would result in the lay ing off of 20.000 men. This statement was denied in the morning by Mr. Harriman, but Union Pacific led the list in weakness, fallinr in the first hour 4 points below Friday's close to 118%, a new low level for this year. Southern Pacific declined to 7oM>. 2>4 points under the preceding day's last price. Amalgamated Copper and American Smelting and Rennlng were attacked with vigor and yielded under the pressure, and the United States Bteel isEues both touched new low levels for the year. The trading was in excess of 625,000 shares for the two hours of business, or at the rate of more than 1,600,000 shares for a full day. Tho beard put out large short lines with confidence, and the closing out of many "stop loss" orders helped their cause. Many insufficiently mar gined accounts were sold out. the volume of such selling being so large as to contribute materially to the demoralization which prevailed in the first hour. There were the usual reports of coming failures, but nothing definite could be learned on this point. The bank statement showed a gain of more than $2,000,000 in the surplus reserve, which Is now nearly twice as large as a week ago, al though far below the figures for the correspond ing dates in the last two years, and the appear ance of that statement, which was regarded as decidedly favorable, was followed by a small rally. In which many etocks recovered a point cr so. Then came fresh selling, under which the gains melted away, and at the close practically all Etocks showed net declines for the day. final prices being at or aimost at the lowest. Especially severe losses were recorded for some of the inactive issues, which have of late been looked upon with much disfavor by bank officers charged with the duty of examining se curities offered as collateral for loans. One of the disquieting developments of the day was the calling of loans by the banks, which seldom take such action on Saturday. Mr. Harriman's denial of the rtory from San Francisco affecting his roads follows: No such orders have been given nor are they contemplated. We are going ahead and attend ing to our business and r ioeting our traffic de mands bb sensible business men should. It is perhaps hardly necessary for me to say that we are not doing anything extraordinary or taking on a lot of new and costly work; but •we are taking all steps required to keep our properties In shape to handle our business elll ciently and economically. It is, of course, ridiculous on Its face that ■we are discharging men by the wholesale, be cause the volume of our business is far heavier than it was a year ago, and the prospects are that it will continue to be heavier for the next few months at least, which is as far ahead as one can safely see.

Senrll Says Short Sales in London Are Responsible. Barton Sewell, vice-president of the American Smelting and Refining Company, said yesterday that th( re was no truth in a published report that the decline In the price of silver in New York and Tendon was due to offerings on an unwilling mar ket by larce dealers who wished to turn their holdings into cash. "The silver market \n totally different from th.- copper market," he said. "Most of the silver mined is bought by governments for coinage purposes, and no storks of the metal are held by the hi? rennlng or selling companies to be unloaded upon the market." Continuing, he said: "Our company, which is the largest seller of pilver, disposes of all of its reflned silver as fast ns it comes out of the work?. When the ores are purchased outright the transactions are based on the quotations prevailing on the date of settle ment, and as the company pursues the policy of selling its product as fast as It is reflned practi cally equal quantities of the. metal are neing re rclved and delivered each day on the same price basis. The decline in the price of the metal is due to short s;il»>s of speculators in London, who, emboldened by their success in copper, have en tered the silver market." Tho common stock of the American Smelting and Refining Company made, a new low record for the year yesterday, dropping to 75, a loss of ?> X M points from the low price touched on the preceding day.

A partly destroyed skeleton of a man In the Bandy soil not three feet below the surface of Cham bers street and only a hundred feet east of Broad way was found yesterday afternoon. The Italian laborers employed by the Continental Asphalt Com pany In taking up the ground In which to lay the new salt water mains tossed up on the pile of yellow dirt sections of a humerus, a femur and a section of a skull. A passerby saw this disregard of old bones and tried to find out from the delvers whether there were other relics. "Tes-a," said the. future or pres ent voter; "yes-a. They yer 1 soft, an' poof: they blow away." Traces of the pieces of the other bones could be seen mixed with the dirt. The fore man on tho job said he didn't know what to do with the relics he had. While he was talking curio seekers made off with the sections of human frame work. Close, by where, the bones were found, and at the same level, was an old tree stump. This perhaps was the cause of the story that gained credence that the tree, had been used during the Revolution ary' unpleasantness for the, hanging of patriots, and that the eliminated Continental soldiers were burled nt the foot of the natural gallows. In the mys terious way that a Wall Street "tip" spreads, this tale got around the business section . Before the laborers gave up work for the night a crowd was standing around and asking to see the "patriots' bones." A search of records showed that no patriots had been buried In that vicinity, although the Com mons, later City Hall Park, had been used as a place, of execution. Chambers street was cut through by order of the Common Council In 1796. This was mentioned as bounding the Commons on the north. That the street was laid over a negro burial ground Is referred to as follows : "That the measure mentioned In the patent to Cornelius Van Borsum for said land, dated October 16, 1673. be so far as this corporation is concerned deemed Kng llsh statute measure. That the claimants to the burying ground release to the corporation their In terest In the land so laid out for a street, and also of all land to the south of said street, and the cor poration will release to said claimants all their Interest In land north of said street." There Is no record that the bogles were ever taken up. That their service to the white man did not end wltli death was Indicated yesterday when on« youth, who secured a large section of the skull, said : "I'll have this polished and made Into an ash receiver.

The demand for cash wheat was strong and higher, and the sales of two carloads of cash red winter wheat here, put t:..> shorts to flight, and they Bought cover in feverish fashion. A report that Italy and Austria- Hungary were about to reduce the import duties also stif fened prices materially.
