NEW YORK STOCKS.
Money Market Unsatisfactory and All Shares
but One Decline-RenewedActi in
the Railroad Bond Market In
s ofix ifx in

creased Activity in Stocks.
New YORK. Dec. 30-The stock market to-
day experienced a complete change in temper,
and under persistent bear hammering finally
closed almost invariably lower than last even-
ing. notwithstanding that the general outlook
was, if anything, improved, and the money
market worked rather easier than yesterday.
The money market. in fact. continues in very
satisfactory shape notwithstanding the near
approach of the first of the year and in any
case disturbances in rates can only last few
days at the utmost. The difficulty over the
Omaha bridge, however. created a bad impress
sion, and The announcement that the meeting
for the organlz ition of the board of the new as
sociation had been postponed was used to the
advantage of the bears
The foreigners took stocks rather literally in
the early trading, but this resistance to the
bearish operations was short-liyed, and not
withstarding that commission houses report in
creased inquiry for investment securities there
was nothing that looked like support in the
market from opening to close. The purchases,
however, did indicate n desire to accumulate
stocks at the figures marked.
The opening figures indicated the hesitation
on the part of domestic operators, and were
irregularly changed from those of last evening,
while the pressure to sell was apparent in the
first few minutes trading an active business
resulting in slight losses all along the line.
The foreign demand then helped prices up
again. ana in many cases. among the active
stecks the highest prices for the past week
were reached. From these points, however,
there was Il material and steady depreciation,
with the room traders conspicuous sellers.
Louisville and Nashville Lacllawanna, Rock
Island and some Others were very prominent in
the downwar movement and from the best
figures of the forenoon there were declines ex-
tending 10 "a per cent scored This was in the
regular list. but in Sugar more pronounced
decline took place, the rumor that one of the
suits against the trust had been decided adj
versely helping to depress the price. Lacka-
wanna led the break in the afternoon, and there
was thought to be free realizing on the recent
rise.
The one strong point in the market was
Wheeling and Lake Erie, which continued its
rise of yesterday and failed to follow the rest
of the list when the break came, and it stands
alone in showing a material advance as the re-
suit of the days operations. The decline made
steady progress during the afternoon, and
while there was in some cases slight rallies
from the lowest points, the close was heavy and

Rights While He Lives.
New York Sum-
During a crowd the other day on Four
teenth street, near Fifth avenue, very
solid man was pushing his way through the
mass OF humanity, when he encountered a
pale, thin young man with the look of a
consumptive. The big man did not swerve
hair. and the thin young mans elbow,
which was held out at an angle, took him in
the leII side. The big man gave gasp, fol-
lowed by q curse, and nearly lost his bal
ance, while the other passed on as cool as
ice. He had turned aside to gaze into u
window, when the big man came up and
said:
Friend, 1 want to feel of your right ell
bow, the one you gave me dig with b. ok
there"
'Oh, certainly" was the reply as the ell
bow was extended.
"Why-why-it' hard as ironp'
"Yes, it is iron. That is, have an iron
cap made for it. just fl, as you see, and
padded with flannel. It's an invention of
my own. Haven't long to live, and don't
want to surrender any of my rights and
privileges. You are number % to-day-ali
big men. American hog versus the iron ell
bow, you see. Elbow always comes out
ahead Good day"

In these last hours of the year brokers have
this to comfort them, that in the ordinary opeT-

stocks to find 4 lower level than that upon

,UILOOK For THE COMING YEAR

THE year is ended and Pittshurg is all
right, was the brief but truthful comment
OF prominent business man Yesterday on
the business achievements of 1890. He was
aiGht. The expiring year has been the most
prosperous ip the history of the city. This
claim is borne out by statistics within the
reach of all. The bank clearings show ii,
ana merchants and manufacturers bear testi-
monv 10 its truth ulness.
Prosperity was not confined TO anv par
ticular Interest or activity; it affected every
legitimate enterprise, and he who is not
richer at the cad of the year than at the
hegmaiu" sickness and accident barred, must
eek an cNpl lnatIon elsewhere than in the CON
ltohs OF trade, which were burdcned with
