TUESDAY, Dec 4-P. NJ
The depression noted in yesterdays stock market
developed larger proportions to-day, and although
the market was kept well in baud. IL was not as
easily handled as il was yesterday. The apparent
knOw-nothingism concerning the Western pools and
their troubles on the part of leading Western rail-
road men who are in the city does not inspire conf
dence 1t is hard TO believe that the chief executive
officers Of the companies in interest do not know
whether the Chicago reports true or not nor
what the foundation for them IN. The special weak
ness of Oregon and Transcontinental stock, which
declined from ga to i5l2 also had its effect upon
the general speculation. The renewal Of
the report that the Central and Hud-
son Company has authorized second
mortgage for $4,000, 600, which received color
from the unusually free selling of the stock, also
contributed TO the unsettled feeling that existed all
day. Yet the days final declines, except for the
Northern Pacifcs and Oregon and Transcontinen-
tai generally do not exceed 2013 per cent North
western further yielded Il and st. Paul was of a
Central and Hudson was down per cent and closed
weak at the lowest figure, while Lake Shore was

gan Central was 1as lower and Canada Southern

SOUTH WASHINGTON.

The recent heavy rains, added to the high
tides In the Potomac, have done great damage
70 the trap.nets placed in the water at certain
points by our fishermen. Vast quantities OF
debris and floating timber have been swept
down and huge holes cut into the nets allow
Ing fish 10 escape and causing untold expense.
Many OF the nets have been taken up and
placed on the wharves for repairs.
Ross & Sanford, the Potomac fiat contractors,
are havingsa large barge altered and fitted up
at Cumberland & Benefits shipyard for the
compelled to be on duty night and day.
The barge will be provided with sixteen
berths and q Kitchen and dining-room and
most OF the regular household conveniences.
The last oysters OF the season have arrived
at the wharves, no sloops or schooDers having
brought any OF the precious bivalves since the
18th OF tho month. A few oysters Will con-
tinue TO be brought to the city all summer In
steamboats, running TO lower points. The oys.
ter men have commenced to gather clans and
crabs, a large number OF the latter having al
ready been brought to the city to supply the
demand OF epicures needing salt water food.
There was another rise In tile fish market
this morning. Shad sold at from 500 to S25
per hundred, herring so to $40 per thousand,
gill rocks so cents each and bunch nsh from
80 cents up.
