Kinds Of produce and to cause an Improvement IN

MONDAY, Dec. 2S, 1874
The stock market to-day was subject to various
Influences, well calculated to disturb Its equanim-
tty. The course OF business was not generally
satisfactory to those who are looking for higher
priceA Another "breakn occurred In Wabash,
which, after opening at %, was toyed with
throughout the day and finally declined to 1oK,
with close at 19H. The enect was felt else
where In decline that ranged from u TO per
cent. The decline In Wabash is alleged TO be due
TO reported decrease in the gross earnings OF
$4,000 Tor the third week in December; but 1t ts
generally understood that other and more power
Jdl Influences have been at work, and that specu-
httve interests are for the moment more
potent than any natural causes that may
be quoted. Much anxiety was expressed
with reference to the probable action OF
The Lake Shore meeting, which is announced for
tomorrow. A dividend OF from 81 10 per cent is
6ounted upon, but those who have carefully
Rnalyzed the reports of the company, and VINO
speculate In Its stock express doubt IN the ability
b1 the directors TO maintain its value on an per
cent basis. Speculative calculations, however,
are always to be accepted cum grdno saxs, and It
may eventually appear, despite the figures, that

The rural districts carried the State
against license in spite of the combi-
nation in favor of it in the larger
towns and cities. The large city dai
lies were allin favor oft, and so was
the Democratic press, prompted by a
craven spirit of self-stulti6cation in
the hope of catching the floating vote.
After all the pusillanimous pandering
to the whisky influence the Demo
cratic party is left stranded and beat
en-. The bone and sinew know too
well the blasting influence of the
whisky shops at the cross roads and
the villages, and any party that at
tempts to force license upon the ag-
ricultural portion of the community
and be apologists for whisky selling
will be beaten. The Democratic
State Convention, under the impress
sion by the first election returns
from the cities, that the license
clause of the Constitution had carried,
rushed plank into its platform IA
