A HEAVY DECLINE IN STOCKS
A Raid on St Louis and San Francisco

WALL STREET, |
noc lQ-f y Nj I


For most of the day the stock market remained In
the semi som nolent state which has characterized
1t for week past: later it woke up to activity.
It was sort Of activity. however, that the bulls did
not appreciate; for instead Of prices being made
higher they were made lower. During the last hour
or two pretty much everything dropped. The West
ern stocks were the weakest OF the lot aud they
dragged down the rest of the market very decided
weak ness In the San Franciscos started the move
ment and the rest of the market followed the cue
There was general decline in all the Western rail-
roads. Wabash. c.. G. and l. c.. tho San Francscos
and Kansas Pacific sold at the end in the neighbor
hood Of points below opening prices The better
stocks felt the decline well. and there was nothing
upon the list thar could not have been bought
cheaper at the end than ut the beginning. In
word, prices. almost without exception. grew weaker
after midday and weakest OF all at gong sound
This fact would tend to prophetical belief that
during early hours tomorrow they are likely to be
weaker yet 1t would be sheer guessing to prophecy
what they likely to be arterward since the bank
statement tomorrow will come in as controlling
power and possibly the greater operators also.
These latter just now short of the market for
short turn. but they are quite prepared to get on
the other side for long turn when matters become
suspicious. Meantime spectators with profits on
paper are disposed to pocket them in cash.
and speculators short of the market disposed
to wait awhile before covering. Consequently there
is greater pressure to sell than to buy. and prices
are feeling the effect of it. Reduced to mere mat
ter Of fact to-day's market was quite as much of
brokers any within the last ten days. There
was Q considerable slump Ia prices this afternoon.
and it is quite probable that corresponding
hoist will ensue tomorrow afternoon. Neither the
slump nor the hoist mean anything. The true
course of the market will show itself after the new
year. and representations that it will be an up
ward one.

The meanest man in town Is K. Is
Stevenson. A young man with deer
tinged auburn hair has for a few weeks
past based his hopes of matchless bills:
upon the hoped for consent of fair one

mentioned Stevenson, in the most ap
proved style Of the art, ''cuts out" our
young friend and when reproached with
his evil conduct only smiles, and smiles,
and il a villain still. The result of the
feud no one can tell. The presumption
is that a certain doctor is urging the
matter hoping for case wherein to
display his surgical skill. Should such
lie the case the friends of the young man
threaten to "take hand" perhaps two,
and furnish the coroner first-class sub.

pistols, auburn and frizzed hair are CON-
mingled in strange, fantastic shapes.
Special reporters now wait around the
corner of the drug store and with bated
breath listen to the "mockingbird," who
alternately fools the one and then the
other.
