NEW YORK, March 2.-The conditions of
yesterday were reversed on the Stock ex-
change today and ofthe buying last evening
no trace was to be found at the opening of
business this morning. Some reaction was
natural by reason OF sales to realize profits,
but the offerings were too large to be ascribed
to such source This selling movement was
materially assisted by the announcement
that a million and a quarter of gold had been
engaged for shipment tomorrow and ID a de-
gree by the passing of the seignioraga bill
the house Of representatives for the bears
affected to regard the progress Of this measure
as inimcal to the stability of speculative
values. The first prices were made irregular,
but generally below yesterdays closing
figures, Sugar being the weakest on the list,
and in the early trading carried the other
shares traded in along with it in it's general
downward course. General Electric. Cordage
and New York Central showed marked de-
preston. A slight rally occurred shortly
alter II O'Clock which was witnessed by a de-
cline in Lead, Sugar, General Electric and the
Changers, bringing the figures down to
lower level than before. AS the market
moved into the afternoon some OF the shorts
began to cover, and the decline Brought in
some buyers for the long account, which had
the effect of causing temporary advance in
Lake Erie preferred. New York Central,
Sugar and Lead participated most largely, the
Changers showing but slight improvement
But at l:3O O'Clock the upward movement re-
ceived check and from then until the close
the prices moved down, the lowest figures of
the day being touched in the final dealings.
Compared with yesterdays last sales the
closing prices showed decline ranging from
"a TO l7s per cent.
The railway and miscellaneous bond
market was firm throughout the day.

A MORTGAGE FORECLOSED.
The Plantation of Col McH. Williams
 Sold to Satisfy Creditors.

Yesterday at noon the mortgages on the the plantation of Col. Nell. Williams were foreclosed and the land, with exception of the exemp- tions allowed by law, was sold at auction at the court house door, this city. Mir. H. A. Roe, of Little Rock, representing the Equitable Securities Company, bought in the property for the sum of $59,310.
 Col. Williams is one of the largest planters in Jefferson county, and the extreme low prices for cotton and poor crop seasons, year after year, have made him a heavy loser His many friends hope and believe that he may yet succeed in mastering the conditions which now confront him, and that ere another season has passed he will again be upon the top wave of prosperity.

 - She VIII Be Carried to Memphis to Ans wer to the Charge of Obtaining Money Under False
 fretenses,

In yesterdays GRAPHIC appeared an article copied from the Memphis Scimitar of previous date giving the history and doings of Annie Whitehead, alias Annie Morton, alias Lillie Draper, etc., who has been an
 Innate of the Mansion" in this city for a number of years.
 The article from the Scimi Gar charges her with having stolen $20O from her mother, Mrs. Bledsoe, of that city, and $100 from her sister, Mrs. Newsom, of Evansville, Ind. :, and stated that the police author ities of several cities had been placed on her track
 Yesterday Chief. of Police A. E. Peterson of this city received a tele- gram from Mr. w. E. Davis, Chief of Police of Memphis, requesting him to look out for and arrest Annie Whitehead, or Lillie Draper, as she is known here, and to hold her until an officer could come from Memphis after her. The telegram stated that she is wanted on the charge of ob- taining $100 from her sister, Mrs. Newsom, under false pretenses.
 Chief Peterson had no difficulty in arresting the woman, for she has never tried to conceal herself, and she wished to at once accompany him to Memphis to answer the charges made against her by her sis ter, and she says that by any court ill the land, she will be acquitted of the crime for which she is accused.
 An officer arrived from Memphis at 1:35 o'clock last night and will leave for that place with his prisoner this morning. The woman bears an un- usually good reputation for one of her class, i'll this city, and those who are in q position to know how kindly she has treated both her mother and sister, are 10th to believe that she is guilty, and say that the sister who brings the charge is not as good 2s
