NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-The feature of the
stock market this morning was the collapse
of the coalers. Delaware 81 Lackawanna
fell per cent. during the first hour, with
enormous transactions in it. White is re-
ported TO have advised his friends TO unload
their Lackawanna, and the decline of about
5 points in the last two DAYS is held to indi-
cate good deal of anxiety on the part of
some holders of the stock to unload. The
numerous failures now occurring are having
a depressing influence on investors, and the
impression is gaining ground that the bull
side of the market will have a hard row to
hoe from now until the first of the year.
Delaware g. Hudson declined TO S1L. The
bears appeared more confident than usual,
aud sold stocks with a will. A fair days
business was done before the noon hour
st. Paul was the leader among the grangers.
1t was attacked as soon as, the exchange
opened, aud there appeared to be no limit to
the amount for sale. Colgate was a large
seller of Lake Shore g. New York Central to-
day, and London brokers and the Germans
were buying them. There was also some
good buying of Lackawanna at the decline,
but the whole market was said to be a
sale on every rally. The earningsf
of Omaha for the first week of December in
creased S11, 700. The West Shore competi-
ton has not injured the New York Central
freight traffic, it is said, but only the pas
senger earnings. Geo. T. NJ. Davis, as
trustee OF the bonds of the Chicago, Gin
cinuati & Louisville road, from La Porte TO
Peru, leased by the Wabash, in default, has
asked for an accounting, decree of fore
closure aud immediate possession of the
property. The feeling at the finish was quite
everish. The market appeared to be COM
pletely demoralized, and many long stocks
were thrown overheard during the day. The
Vanderbilts looked badly. The squirt last
evening at the close was evidently for the
purpose of making market to sell on to-
day. There appeared to be no attempt to
stem the tide, rallies amounted to nothing.
In the last hour about the lowest prices of
the day prevailed. The only strength visible
wasln Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy and
Ohio s. Mississippi. The market closed un-
settled. The short interest increases from
day to day, but the cliques have evidently
been forced to liquidate, as stocks were
quite plentiful in the loan crowd.

the lowest point, s6575<. February declined
21<c lower at s5.525< for January and S5.57Jz
for February. Nat Jones was given the
credit Of being the biggest bear in the mar
ket and young Baldwin did the most talking
on the bull side
At the stock yards the receipts Of hogs
were again liberal With the fresh arrivals
and those left last night there were 60, 600 to
65, 900 on SALE The market opened active
and strong, but closed dull and lower. The
best packing grades sold at about "a. 2594 35,
and then down to 81 1904. 15 for other sorts.
The cattle market remains in the same
unsatisfactory condition as noted for the
past three days, in fact, for the whole week.
The receipts are not crowding the market, for
there are 80, 600 less cattle than for the cor
responding time last week. The advance in
freights seems to have unsettled the whole
trade. It was thought the movement would
stimulate the shipment Of live cattle, but so
far the stimulation is not visible. Then the
dressed beef operators are also in a quandary
what to do to adjust their business TO the ad-
vance in freights, and they, as it were, are
feeling their way and buying about half their
usual number. Next, the export trade has
almost passed out Of the minds of dealers.
Cattle for the British markets are seldom
mentioned, and there has not been a cargo
bought in this market for direct shipment
for at least two months. About the only
class selling at satisfactory prices is fair to
prime COWS and bulls, but low grades are yet
selling at losing prices. Stockers are selling
at rBther high prices, and feeders have ad-
vanced nearly out Of sight the past day or
two.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-owing partly TO the
storm, and still more TO general depression
and distrust arising from continued failures
in the mercantile and financial world, busi-
ness at the banks was, If anything, a shade
duller than usual to- day. Individual mer-
chants, with good trade, or money lenders,
well fixed, may feel happy enough over the
situation, but the very air is loaded with
apprehension of coming trouble. New York
exchange was quoted at 25c discount, with a
good outside demand. Orders for currency
shipments were also good, while receipts
were light. Sterling exchange was higher
and stronger at s4.s2@4s6. Government
bonds were steady for some denominations
and Is per cent. lower for others. The gen
eral bond market was firm and fairly active.
The bank clearings were S7,617, 900 against
81, ,652, 900 yesterday.

the greater part of the colored people
in Ohio, as elsewhere, is firmly
grounded in the faith of Republican
ism, but here and there the peculiar
power of argument suggested above
will be used with some effect, and in

tween Lake Erie and the Ohio River
must be polled in order to secure a
Republican victory next month. 1t
will not do for the State Executive
Committee to sit idly by, and, while

teresting book, entitled "B!ack and

must be read. While the book will
not, perhaps, just accord with the
views of the average white man, it
cannot help but meet the approba-

corning the race with the force and
vigor which characterizes his edito,
rails, and what be thinks of the
class of men who misrepresent
us in their opinions and comparisons,
he says without biting his tongue.
We agree with him upon many
points, especially as regards industrial
education for colored children, and
while the views expressed are mostly
Fortunes, they are in the main cor
rect. His advocacy of independence
and a division of cur votes as a fur
therance of our interest politically,
will be better appreciated in the near
future than at present. Much of
the work we would like to quote in
our columns, but space forbids. We
hope, however, to give our readers
the benefit Of many of Mr.. Fortunes
views.

The Colored Vote Of Ohio.

A special from Columbus to Tues
DAYS Herald states that "Governor
Hoadly is to have charge of the col
ored contingent, and to assume ex-
elusive control of that branch of the
political harvest that is to have as It's
result the securing of Negro votes
for Secretary Newman" Another
good reason why more attention
should be paid the cOlored vote of the
State. Hoadly, through his influence,
had four colored men appointed to
place-one to a clerkship in the
House, a second was given position
in his Office, and another as janitor
about the State House. A third had
been given a position under Score
tary Newman, and Peter II. Clark
was appointed a member Of the board
of trustees of the Ohio State Univer-
sity in place of T. Ewing Miller, one
of the founders of the institution.
This will haze some weight with the
colored vote, just as it would have
with any other, and it may not be
cheerful news to Republicans who
have been uniformed as to the true
political status of affairs, but it is a
fact that this fall more attention must
be paid to the colored vote in certain

Left, as Usual.

The Republican State Central Com
mittee met in Philadelphia Tuesday
and elected General Lilly to fill the
vacancy On the electoral ticket. The
meeting was remarkable for more
than one reason. 1t was remarkable
for the large representation present,
and it was remarkable for the absence
of colored representative. We can
not help but refer to this apparent
contempt for the colored vote. So
sure are the party of success in this
state that we have been absolutely
ignored in every position Of honor
which has hitherto been accorded the
colored vote. We are at lost to IN
derstand in what manner we are re-
garded by the republican party. Do
they expect that the voices Of 10000
true and tried republicans, who are
beyond dispute an integral party Of
the party, who have served twenty
years with faithfnlness and fidelity to
the principles of republicanism, are
going to quietly submit TO such ig-
nominious treatment? IF we are not
worthy Of recognition; if we are no.
to have voice in the guidance
Of the canvass; if we are merely
to follow like sheep to victory or
defeat, then we better surrender
at once our manhood and our elective
franchise and allow the republican
party to cast our whole vote as one
man owned body and soul by his
master. From every part Of this
state the colored voters express sur
prise and disappointment at net hav-
ing any recognition, and from the
first selection of the state committee
by the state convention, this dissatis-
faction was made manifest. The
leaders were made aware of it, but
choose to disregard our claims. We
have no desire to create discord in
the party at this time, but if MFR.
Blaine's election depended upon our
silence, as the organ of the colored
voters of this state, we could not be
silent, We have suffered too many
indignities and have been silent too
often when our voices ought to have |
been raised in our own behalf Fore |
bearance is ceasing to be a virtue.
The last straw is being piled upon
the camers back and he is tottering
under the heavy load. A Job could |
not bear with patience such a con-
slant pull upon his manhood. If the
party cannot see the adVisability of |
applying the brakeswe as men should
apply them ourselves.

Senator B, x. Bruce, Chief Direc-
tor of the Department Of Colored Ex-

Conference, and drew a graphic de-
scription of the work already done,
and the work yet necessary to be
done. He said the most generous
allowance of space had been made for
the colored exhibits at New Orleans,
and stated that it appeared to be an
anxious desire of those having the
exhibition under management to have
the completest possible exhibition of
colored talent, ingenuity and industry,
and impressed upon the gentlemen
present the Importance of making the
co!ored feature a thorough success.
Governor Pinchback wanted to
know if the colored people of the
country were in a position to make
creditable show. If not, he was OBJ
posed to the attempt to make it. He
was not sure that the time remaining
was sufficient in which to do the ne
cessary work. Governor Pfhchback's
remarks drew out general discussions
on points raised by him.
Rev. VIM. 3. Derrick was sure
that New York State was rich in ma
terial and would make a creditable
showing.
Mr.. Grimke spoke enthusiastically
of the part Massachusetts would play
at the exhibition, and was sure that
State was rich in material.
Rev. Van Horn said Rhode Island
would do herself credit in her exhibit
of agricultural products and manufac
tured fabrics.
Dr.. Tanner said Pennsylvania
would be largely represented in the
arts, mechanics, and in agricultural
products.
Rev. Braithwaite spoke for New
Jersey, Mr.. Emerson for Arkansas,

opinions, which was regarded as
highly favorable to the enterprise,
