The stock market to-day was weak and
lower. Wizards were the features of specula-
tiOn, Oregon TranscOntinental declining 80
per cent, Northern Pacific rs, and preferred
rs. The decline in these shares were due to
the unconfirmed reports that the Oregon
TranscOntlnental directors had decided to
pass the January dividends, and that COM
panv had heavy floating debt unDrOvided
for. The pressure to sell Wizards had an un-
favorable effect on other active shares. North

way complication at the West and the stock
