By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Doc. 18. — Tho news from
Chicago this morning practically wiped
».ho stock market clean and gave a new
basis to start from. Tho failure of
three important banking Institutions In
Chicago camo as a total surprise to
Wall street, so far as any previous de
velopment had Indicatod.
The stock market was thrown Into a
spasm of fright and tho appearance
of tho market at tho ononlng sufficient
ly indicatod tho dotermlno-tion oC
alarmed holders to get rid of their
stocks at any price. Various orders lo
well 1000 share blocks of Amalgamated
Copper came to an aggregate, of over
10,000 shares, part of them being sold
at 100 and others simultaneously all
the. way down to 93%,
This was tho cxtremo example of the
effect of the news 011 the stock ex
change, although there were very wide
openings on running sale In Union Pa
cific, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, St. Paul
and othor important stocks at severe
losses. In the curb market United Cop
per, in which the speculation has been
very activo recently, sold at 68 and then
abruptly slumped to 46. Thcso disas
trous effects of prices were duo In a
largo measure to the extremely heavy
Stop loss orders which honeycombed
the market at a level slightly below
Saturday's closing.
Tho . order In such case Is to sell
stocks at any prices in the event of tho
market falling to a given point, and
the resulting avalanche is sure to gain
speculative force. This being tho case
It was porceived that prompt measures
were required to avoid a panic. Enor
mous supporting orders wero sent In
and tho demoralizing sentiment thus
alleviated. There was a secondary
wave of liquidation In part made up of
belated orders In tho market by outsid
ers and In part by those who wore able
to withhold' their selling during the
opening period, when there was prac
tically no demand.
Tho market ebbed and flowed over a
lesser range during the latter part of
the day, but tho principal liquidation
seemed to have spent Its forco and the
damaging- part of the losses) was re
covered. It was evident that the ag
fravated effect produced by the ind
ent was largely due to tho over ex
tended condition of speculation. Suc
cessful speculators have been reinvest
ing their -iroflts in new purchases of
some of the very volatile stocks, which
makes a very Insecure market.
As to the financial consequences of
the Chicago mishap, the prompt meas
ures taken by the Chicago clearing
house and the Insurance against los 3
of the depositors of the banks, gave
strong hope that the consequences will
be localized and restricted. There was
iiothlng to show that any New York In
terests were affected.
Money continued strong In this mar
ket, but eased off later in the day In
splto of remittance to Chicago. A few
stocks were marked up In a sensation
al way lato In the day and prices gen
erally were moving strongly upward
at the close with no important losses
remaining.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
value. $3,210,000.
IT. S. now 4s declined % per cent on
