10 STUNG SCENES IN WALL STREET OESCRIBED AS "RICH MEN'S PANIC- Holders of Big Blocks of Securities in Wild Rush to Unload— Wide Fluctuations In Favor. ite Stocks By Associated Press. , NEW YORK, March «.— Wall street hns seldom If ever seen such varied and violent fluctuations in prices of securi ties as those which occurred today. There have been panics In the stock market when prices fell apparently Into a bottomless abyss; there have been boom periods when the bold operations of daring speculators seemed to be currying prices inimitably upward: but the feverish upward and down* al (•rations which characterized today's movement have hud few parallels. The market was two sided from the •tart. Then followed a period of abrupt reversals of the gcnornl current of prices and ultimately excited and ells orderly attempts nt cross cuts. The whole movement was without definite news to explain it but the volume and the aggressiveness of the operations were sufficient to stamp them as coming from sources of Importance. It Is this lmplied Importance of the origin of the present dealings and the mystery which hangs over It which have given to Its Impresslveness to the speculative lmagination. Wall street parlance has found a phrase "rich men's panic" to define the condition. This Is based upon the sup position, quite commonly held in the neighborhood of the stock exchange, that men of great wealth who accumu lated large holdings of stocks last year find themselves without prospect of soiling out to advantage In the present public distaste for the stock markets. lt, Is believed that they have been prompted as well by the urgency of other calls upon them due to the uni versal pressure for capital, and by fears of being overtaken by 11 period of lndustrial depression, to liquidate their holdings as best they may. The action of the market for several days and of special stocks notably has given color to this theory of the events in progress. .-';. -'; To , this condition of sentiment was precipitated today a report that carried with It an inference that the supposedly capitalists were In reality taking ad vantage of the unsettlement of values to carry out another Reading exploit. The, ,The , rumor alleged with posltiveness that certain large centralized holdings of, Reading had been taken over by Mr. Harrlman, securing his control of the property. The heavy liquidation of yesterday in Atchlson was alleged to bcb be Union Pacific holdings to provide resources for the Reading operation. The bears in Reading were thrown lntoI Into a panic and there was a scramble to cover all through the list. The re port was impossible of verification and lts plausible and likely features were KOK O mixed as to leave the opinion at sea. The bears were intimidated and wore disinclined to pursue their attacks on prices of other stocks. The Reading rumor came Into the market in the midst of a drastic liqui dating movement in Canadian Pacific ■which had forced that stock down over 7 points below yesterday's closing level. This had much the same effect as the violent slump in Atchison yesterday and had served to break the whole market. The reversal of the movement ■was all the more abrupt and violent on that account. ;■■•■■ There also was very heavy liquida tion in Pennsylvania, Amalgamated Copper and Union Pacific. The absorp tion of the Hill stocks and of Reading, however, was constant throughout the day. Atchlson also met no such selling pressure as that of yesterday. - These evidences of resistance in the market already had divided speculative sentiment and the Heading incident turned prices decisively upward. No attention was paid to news concerning general conditions. . , The last prices were generally the best of the day and an active buying movement was in force. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,730,000. ■ United States 3s advanced % per cent on call. New York Stocks ■ ! NEW YORK.

NKW YORK. March I. The Aldrlch Mil has been regarded by the public and the press ffpnerftlly m merely n com promise measure probably possessing no real effectiveness In meeting the difficulties of currency reform. Care ful perusal, however, discloses clearly that tho bin n..t only Introduce! ma terial reforms in currency matters, but also changes affecting the interests of national hunks. In fact, those changes may Involve eventually important re adjust merits in tn.- national currency. The Aldrlch 1. 11 l may be considered I" effect three changes. I—To1 — To end the 1 essarlly disturbing Influences of the treasury In Money market affairs liy permitting the secre tary of the treasury to deposit customs receipts as well as internal revenue in national bonks designated as national depositaries. Security may consist ol United States bond's anil such other securities as lire designated by the sec retary of tho treasury on or hcToie January 1 of each year. 2 — To render more elastic national bnnk circulation by Increasing flic limit of retirement Of hank notes from $3. 0,000 as at present, to $'.1,000,000 per month. 3 — To readjust the classes of currency in circulation, namely United States notes, treasury notes, bank notes, gold certificates anil silver certificates, by the following changes In their denom inations of Issue. (a) By lowering the denomination of gold certificates from $20 as at present to $10. (b) By gradually replacing United States notes (greenbacks) of denomina tions greater than $,". with United States notes of denominations of $1. $2 and $6, The $338,000,000 United States notes now of a denomination of $10 or over will become largely of the denomina tion of, or less than $fi ; that Is. merely subsidiary currency supplementing the pri sent silver certificates. The vacuum thus produced in denominations above $5 will be filled by gold certificates and national bank notes. Of these denom inations there are outstanding $502, 600,000 gold certificates and $494,200,000 bank notes. In so far as additions to hank notes, now approximately $fi00,000,000, shall fill In this vacuum, an expansion of tho amount of bank notes Is possible, rang ing eventually from probably 20 per cent to possibly 40 per cent Increase. An Increase In bank notes naturally suggests a larger demand for govern ment bonds R9 security therefor. At tho same time the possible speedy re tirement, through the operation of tho $9,000,000 per month clause, will doubt less produce from timo to time a greater supply of government bonds.
