WALL STREET GOSSIP.
The Situation So Clouded That Investors
Should Go Slow.


Should Go Slow.
The situation in the speculative center Of the
new world is thus outlined by John NJ. Oakley
& Co.'s correspondents:
Business has been reduced to q holiday, II
not fasting basis The dullness which a few
weeks ago we predicted as coming has arrived
in great force. and a state of ''masterly inac-
tivity" prevails. This morning Sugar Trust
and Lake Shore were bull cards and silver .
bear one. Lake Shore was strong on early ap-
proach Of a 2 per cent dividend with the usual
l per cent extra, but why silver was SO weak
we confess we do not know. We are bullish on
il. right or wrong. The bank statement came
out about Has and surprised even the bulls by
money of nearly 81. 600. 600, which ought to pre-
vent any strlngency over January !, and to
have good effect on the country. 1t stimu-
lated the market fractionally in price, tn ough
but little in activity.
II does not appear to be question Of money
A little while ago everybody sa1d Hold on to
your stocks till money, especially time money,
people have been holding on in this belief, and
II they find that there is no desire TO buy, dis
appointment will follow. One thing is certain
just now, and that is uncertainty. 1t is hard to
read the few exposed signs of the times, and
caution is good virtue to possess now till the
real drift of affairs is mor9 clearly discernible.
We can hardly call ourselves bullish, but we arc
open to conviction The chances of an impor-
tant diminutlon in traffic on the roads the
coming year about offset the chances of better
rates. When the railway officials come togeth-
er to apportion tonnage to each line there will
probably be enough dissatisfaction somewhere
to sorely try the combination.

best prices were made at the opening and the
lowest as the end approached. The trading IN
May at the opening was from 54c to 54lsc, only
one or two trades taking place at above 04c.
and at the close there were sellers at 5313c,
which is drop of &c since yesterday. Ihe
shipping demand was slack and an increase IN

The sale during the week of piece of land in

So 5O0 shows very clearly that real estate values
have undergone no shrinkage. Even side
street property is holding its own, as shown by
the sale of a lot on Ferry street few days ago
at the rate of $500 foot front. There is no
lack of confidence in realty, and those who are
holding back for lower prices are making
mistake.

A Collision Results Between . Passenger
and Freight Train.
LEADvILLE, Dec. 20.-A collision oc-
Cured at Cardiff, on the Colorado mine
land yesterday by the east-bound
passenger train running into the rear
end of a freight train, demolishing
the caboose, killing an unknown man who
was asleep, and injuring three or four others.
The freight train was trying to get into
side track, but the train was too long for the
space aud could not get out of the way
quick enough for the passenger, which was
coming in at speed of 20 miles an hour.
As soon as he saw the end of the train,
the engineer reversed the engine and gave
1t the full force OF steam, but could not
avoid the collision. The fireman jumped
from the engine and was seriously injured.

A STORY OF A MOTHERS UN-

Since the beginning of the fth century, not.

ing the twelfth month the date of the
nativity. il being the height of the rainy
shepherds could have been at night IN the
fields of Bethlehem. The 18th day of Decem-
ber has been generally agreed upon. set aside
and kept by all Christian communities in MEM
ory of the birth of the Savior, apparently lay
ing more stress on keeping day in memory
than on success in selection of the actual and
precise date of the event.
In all civilized countries the annual recur-
renee of Chris mas has been celebrated with
festivities of various kinds In none, however
is it more joyfully welcomed than in America.
In one way or another, to some in a greater
and some in a less degree, it brings feelings of
JOY and gratefulness tn us all. During recent
interview with Mrs Walker. living at No. 900

CHICAGO-The wheat market opened tame

was Nc higher than it closed yesterday, but
that anomalous condition of affairs soon disap-
peared. A few sales were effected at 81 o0L
and then gradual sinking took place, which
was not materially overcome until the price
had gotten below 81. The change of heart was
the result of an easier tone to the cable dis
patches and the suggestion of the stringency
of money in commercial circles in r. g. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review. The outside news regard
ing the movement OF wheat was likewise in
favor of the bears. There was no life to
the market after it had gotten down

despite Hutchinson's later purchases. Pard.

Collapse of a Wharf
HALIFAX, n. s., Dec. 20.-A terrible
accident occurred on Cunard's south wharf
last night, by which four or five men
were drowned and several others
had narrow escape from death. A
large gang were engaged in unloading
coal from the steamer Oakdene, and were
placing it in large shed lately erected on
the wharf. Eight men were in one part of
the shed working on top of heap of coal,
when suddenly . large section of the wharf
caved in with a crash.
The men felt the coal sinking beneath
them, and made frantic efforts to escape
from the shed. So far as known five are
believed to have gone with the coal, which
disappeared under the water.

THE WEEK IN OIL.
A Big Jump Breaks the Monotony, but 1t
Lacked Staying Power.

LdCkcu OWeTs
The course of the oil market yesterday was a
disappointment to many who expected it would
not only hold the advance OF Friday but i'm
prove on it.
The reaction goes to show that the big jump
was due to twisting the shorts, as explained by
reports from New York, and that neither the
producers meeting nor cessation of field work
had ANYTHING to do with 1t. The advance was
brought about by the same process as was
formerly applied to criminals TO extort a con-
fession. 1t was compulsory.
The market opened a shade under the previ-
Gus close, and declined steadily from the first
without reaction. It went off under the CON-
bined Influences Of Oil City realizing and lack
Of supporting orders. There was considerable
trading all along the line of the decline, but at
the last sellers held back. Fluctuations for the
day and week are given below:
