HARD KNOCKS FOR SHORTS

Extreme Timidity on the Part Of the Sellers

Change to-day. Pork. lard and ribs closed
respectively 37lsc, 200 and 22l2o higher than
last night. Wheat and corn ruled easier
and each Ac decline. The provisions mar
ket seems to have reached q condition
where the bull clique has complete control.
The clique brokers bought May stuff and
caused an advance on wheat sold free for
January. When the market yielded under
their selling and the sales by the trade
generally. they rushed in and bought May
again and frightened the other sellers into
covering at loss in q
hurry. This maneuver was repeated
three times to-day. The close was at top
figures. The small stocks of provisions, at
the advance in hogs to the high point of the
year and the lack of nerve on the part of
sellers of all products. made it easy for the
~manipulators. Wheat started at about
steady. and for a time held rather firm on
some good local buying. Eggleston,

scented. But there seemed to he little out
side demand on which the strength was
based, and the Improvement was not held.
Fluctuations were confined to q range
of $50.

CRUEL ORDER RESCINDED.

Pittsburg's Fallen Women Will Be Given
More Time to Get Out of fhe City.
PITrsBURG. Dec. 2.-The order closing
disorderly houses in this city has been re-
voked by Chief brown, of the Department
of Public Safety. and the inmates can pur-
sue their vocation without molestation
from the police until further notice. This
&C tion is the result of q conflict between
Mayor Gourley and Chief Brown. Yester-
day the Mayor declared that the attempt
of the police authorities to close the houses
upon forty-eight hours notice was cruel.
inhuman and unjust. Chief Brown THERE
Upon directed Superintendent of Police
O'Mara not to eject or modest any of the
inmates of the d~isreputable houses until
the Mayor indicates the date at which he
desires his order of Nov. 80 to 90
into effect. 1t seems probable now
houses of lll-repute Will continue with
out further molestation. At the Mayor
office 1t Is given out that the Mayor will
await an official notice from Chief Brown
before issuing an order fixing the closing
time. In the Department Of Public Safety
IL is given out that the chief will not write
to the Mayor, but Will await his order. As
a solution for the problem Inspector Nc
Kelvey suggests April i as u proper time to
prietresses would lose their leases and suf-
fer the financial loss which an immediate
closing would entail.
There was no unusual gathering at the
headquarters of the various ministerial IS
sociations to-day. and as yet there is no or
gained movement for the relief Of any of
the women who may desire to reform.
The announcement that the time for the
closing had been indefinitely postponed
has caused indignation. and will be de.
nounced at the usual Monday meetings of
the clerRy. This afternoon q number of
ministers called upon the Mayor and q Sc
cret conference was hold. It was decided
to appoint a committee. consisting of one
minister from each denomination. to pro-
vid shelter for those who arc repentant
and desire to reform

Considering the death of the most active
m~snipulstor of campaigns in tho stock
market in the annals of Wall street the
Stock Exchange, to-day, was ~singulsrly
free from excitement. Not only were the
fuctuations In prices comparatively small.
but the volume of business transacted was
less than that when there are no special
events or influences to stimulate trading.
1t has been claimed all along, by o certain
c~ontingens of w all-street spectators. that
the death of Mr.. Gould would throw the
market into O state of panic, or that the
markets for securities would, at least. be
violently perturbed. Exactly the contrary
occurred to-day. The market wavered for
q time. and the bears made several attempts
to get prices to q lower level. but
on all the reactions buying orders appeared
for large amounts and each decline was fol-
lowed by higher quotations than those
previously current. Even the so-calIed
Gould stocks yielded but slightly. Mis-
souri, Pacific ran of la. bat Western Union,
Manhattan, Union Pacific and Wabash
yielded only fr~actionalIy and quickly re-
covered. In the general list American
Sugar declined Us. but az q rule the losses
were small. This was all the more surpris-
ing because of the engagement of S1.600. 600
gold for shipment to Europe by to-morrow's
steamer. It was learned subsequently, that
500, coo had been withdrawn. During the
afternoon much irmer feeling prevailed.
and rs the day drew to q close speculation
became almost buoyant. The market closed
strong and on the advance. The sales ag-
greRsted $3.50 listed and 81, 764 unlisted
shares.
Railroad bonds were generally firm. The
sales amounted TO 81, 1880 Tho importe
of dry goods at the port of New York for
the week were l.666, 1877 and the amount
marketed 81. 673. 063.
Government bonds nave been steady.
State bonds have been dull. Closing quo
