The Venezuela Message Reflected ID
the Market.
London Price; for American Securities Show
Declines and Interna ionaI Shares Show
Very Marked Weakness.

New YORK, Dec. 1S.-The re-echoes of
Cleveland's Venezuelan message were the
dominating influences of the ock market
today London prices for American secu-
rites show declines, and the International
shares we're sold steadily, with but slight
rallies throughout the day. his class OF
securities displayed the greatest weakness
of any of the list. The dealings in interna-
tional shares, usually active in the fore
noon, were roughly estimated at about
10000 shares. Some comment was ex-
cited over decline of nearly ! per cent
in British consuls and coincident frac-
tional advance in United States new and
old per cent bonds. Tn the general mar
ket lower prices we're recorded in the early
trading, the declines being in some in
stances fully as great as IN the interna-
tionals. About the end of the first half
hour substantial recoveries were made in
most canes, but a reactionary tendency
soon developed. Throughout the day at
in ervals rallies occurred, but were always
met by renewed selling for both
accounts, except in the last hour, when
around delivery hour on covering of shorts
mainly rallies from the extreme low
points, ranging up 10 two per cent were
made. The unsettling effect CT the war
talk on prices was heightened by depress-
ing discussion of our financial problem,
and by expectation of further heavy ship
ments of gold, partially on account of the
foreign selling of our securities. Sterling
exchange rates we're advanced slightly and
the appearance of gold bills was considered
to foreshadow an advance to point per-
uniting shipments to London by Saturdays
steamer. The unfavorabie condition noted
caused the publication OF satisfactory ex-
hibts of railroad earnings to fall fat The
closing was active and strong, at net losses
for the active stocks 10 q per cent and in
the lost prominent shares Of four per cent.
Bonds were active and weak, the declines
in a number of issues being OF import
ence. The market moved only in syTnpa-
thy with the stock ,eculation. The sales
aggregated 81. S07 900.

disposiug Of any objections that might
be interposed to the 'Darwinian theory.
It was the sense Of the circle that evoiu-
zion is a good thing in it's way and &C.
counts for some very curious phenomena
but that it should not be carried to an
extreme. For example it does not ex-
plain the existence of the high hat at the
theatre. Neither does it attempt any
satisfactory solution Of that species SO
rampant of late years known as the Fed
eral Judge. It is we'll known that the
last mentioned functionaries did not at
tain their present position by process OF
natural selection and some even doubt
