Yesterday's liqui dation In the stock market was very gen erally renewed at the opening today and further severs declines were registered. A1J the United States steel Issues dropped to new low records, the common selling as low as 18H, following opening sales of 1.000 shares at from 1& to 16. The preferred stock declined to 6.24 and the per oent bonds were quoted at 71H. a drop of H per cent from yesterday's low price. The market steadied soon after the open ing on buying orders, which seemed In the datura of support, and were said to ema nate from strong quarters. There was also a great deal of shorts covering. Reports that leading financial Interests had formed an agreement to support ths market today could not be verified. Save for slight reactions the market con tinued steady up to noon at prloea slightly below the top. Business showed a marked falling off from ths early activity, Df tat the Steel Stocks. Shortly after noon the market again de clined as the result of another drop In ths steel stocks, which carried them still lower. The common stock sold at 11, the preferred at a4 and the 6 per oent bonds at 71. Ths selling of these securities was very general &0HBMW and Sprk!hvs- Bottle Oatj at CM grwwary to SC. Loan. at IS.

The heaviness of the general market was reflected on the "curb," the most note worthy feature there being a S per cent decline In Interborough Rapid Transit, a break of over points In two days. The Industrials on the "curb" were all weak. The Evening Post said today: Prominent banking Interests announced today that after the does of yesterday's market they had Undertaken an Investiga tion to see whether therw were any weak securities In the Wall 'street region. Tills Investigation, although Informal, was con ducted by Interests of such extenelvs con nections as to make It unusually trust worthy. They made the unequivocal statement to day that the situation had developed no dangerous features and that not a single mock exchange huusu was In the slightest way embarrassed. They said, however, that the feeling of uncertainty prevailing In most quarters had given rise to many rumors, all of which were without foundation so far as they related to the stability of any large Interest. Attack osi Steel Stocks. Ths attack on United States Steel at mid day brought additional support to those storks and the list made a prompt recovery. Aside from the heaviness of the steel Issues and some other industrial stocks the tone of ths llet was generally better than at any time earlier In the day and In the last hour prices were at their best. Prominent brokerage houses reported some Investment demand and ths traders seemed Inclined to play for a further rally. A report that oO.uuO shares of preferred steel snd 20,000 shares of common had been taken over by the conversion syndi cate at prlvats sals was authoritatively dented.

INSPECTOR TELLS HIS STORY James Erwin of California Eipl.im Connec tion with AHogsd Portal Frauds, TOOK STOCK TOR INTRODUCING DEVICE Aeeased Has Says He Had Ro Deal ing of I'nlawfnl Natare with Any Person or Persona la I'ostofflce Deportment. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-The Indicted Postal Inspector James Erwin was huard by United Statea Commissioner Herrick today. He desired to Bhow why be should not be held , for trial In Washington, and made a complete statement of his connec tion with the alleged postofflce frauds. He denied the charges specifically and then told of hla connection with the affair, the history of which covers a period of four years, but which has but recently come to public notice through the Washington In vestigation. Erwin had note books and memoranda to verify whnt he said. He did not deny a knowledge of the sale ot the devices nnd compliance with the schemes of the local office whereby they developed the device and sold It to the government. Erwin said that he never had anything to do with the compliance and the Installation of the devices. He said that as assistant General Deputy of free delivery, he Introduced their use. The number In use under his direction, he said, was 1,000 or 1,100. Ho asserted pos itively, however, that he never knowingly defrauded the government and that the sum total of his earnings from the postal de vice and Improvement company was $98. Krwln's testimony in part was as fol lows: On November 23, 1S99, I secured a twenty day leave of absence and went with D. S. Richardson, general superintendent of the Sun Francisco olllcn to Washington to se cure contracts for the Montague Letter Box and Device company, ns tho company was known at that time. It has since become the Postal Device and Improvement com pany. The Invention, I understand, was Mr. Richardson's. My advice was solicited because of my length of service and 1 suggested several Improvements. Still Holds Stock. On the certificates of stock given me by Mr. Richardson appears the name of the Montague company. I now hold 600 out of 40,000 shares In the Postal Development company. For these I paid nothing. I took no part In the formation of either com pany, and paid no money for my stock. The consideration I gave I waa told and supposed, was the service I rendered In perfecting the device. The object of our trip to Washington In November, 1899, was to interest the department In the device. J was paid nothing for my services. , In Washington I personally Introducer! Mr. Richardson to many of the employes and asked them to offer any suggestion they could for Improvement. I was well acquainted there through my duties, which had covered a period of ten years past. I introduced Mr. Richardson to forty or fifty men in the department nnd spent two or three days In Introducing him. At that time there was a national convention of first class postmasters, who inspected the device. I never had possession of any stock other than that issued to me, nor did I place any stock whatever among the employes of the postoftlce department. Neither did I advise Kir. Richardson to so place any stock. I did not know that any stock was to be so placed. And I had no official consent to give, as I was never a director of either the Montague or the present company. So far as I know. It was never planned to place any stock among the officials of the department. 1 never took part in the mak ing of contracts. The cost of manufacture was not known at that time. I was staying at the same hotel with Mr. Richardson. We were together for ten days, from November 23 to December 3, 1899. Introduces Device to Machea. 1 directed the attention of my chief, the head postal Inspector, to the device, which was set up for display In an alcove of the free delivery department. August W.
