Stocks Slump and Money Goes Up. but
Drops Again.


Drops Again.
NEW YORK, Dec 20-This was a day of
excitement in Wall street and matters for a
time bore the resemblance of a panic But
this condition of affairs had not been unex-
pected. and in a measure the dealers had
prepared themselves. Before the opening of
business on the Stock Exchange 1t was an
nounced that s.. 100000 in gold would be sent
out Of the country, and later in the day the
export OF 100000 more was announced This,
together with the cable advices from Lon
don announcing extensive sales of American
securities, and the tenor OF the war news
from all quarters, was responsible for the
general feeling of uneasiness that prevailed
even early in the day. The spirit of the
market was to SELL and in the big exchanges
this was done to an extent rarely before
surpassed. In the Stock Exchange the sales
for the day was 775,761 shares. New York
Central, st. Paul, L. e. NJ, Wabash and Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas preferred. Reading,
Atchison. Illinois Central and Canada Pa
cific were the principal sufferers by reason
of their international listing.
AS result of the decline in stocks, the
failure Of the following firms was an
nounced on the Stock Exchange during the
day: Nichols, rockingham & Co., Samuel
Sands & Co.. De Neufville Co., L. A. Field
man and b. Fenton.
With the fall in prices the banks called in
all their loans. thus adding to the compiica-
tions OF the situation. New York money
was loaned at very high interest to carry
stocks. and in many instances renewals
would be made under no conditions what
ever. AS the selling movement continued
right up to the closing hour, with but slight
and momentary reactions. the effect was de-
moralizing in the extreme. Money was
loaned on call late in the afternoon at as
high as so per cent. and most loans were
marked up to Is per cent. by the banks
Just before closing on the Stock Ex-
change the galleries were crowded with
spectators. The floor OF the exchange was
never a scene Of greater excitement and
sellers were almost fighting with each
other to get at the buyers, who were large
Iy in the minority. There was excitement.
too, and plenty of 1t. on the street. and K
Is anticipated that tomorrow will be
repetition OF to-day.
In regard TO the situation Frederick d.
Tappen. president of the Gallatin National
Bank, who was chairman OF the clearing
house loan committee during the last panic.
said that at the present time the New York
banks are all right and are ready to face
any emergency that may arise. He added
that the surplus reserve amounted to $2o,-
100000, and that therefore there was no
cause for alarm on the score OF money.
Mr.. Tappen pointed out. however, that
while these conditions now prevail the
situation is stil a serious one, though
likely to be allayed soon.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE,

"The Widow Bcdott" is one of the giddiest things that ever happened-as presented by Horace Ewing and com pany who are to appear in the play at the Grand tonight and tomorrow. There is not a moment while she is on the stage that the audience is not enjoying life as presented in the scenes before them. It is hard to imagine just how Neil Burgess could possibly be better in the part than Horace Ew- ing, Of whom We may form an opinion from the press criticisms which have reached us concerning his conception of the character, as presented in the west and in Australia, where he has been touring with the play for several years. MT. Ewing is supported by his accomplished wife and a first class com pany of players, including Miss Mary Lyons, Miss Eva French. Miss Amy Cope and Harry Stockbridge. Mati- nees to-day and tomorrow.
 At the Grand Christmas week a per formance will be given every night and matinees every day, starting Tuesday Wattes' big comedy company of thirty i've people Will De the attraction. The company is augmented by @ uniformed band, a concert orchestra and host ot clever specially talent for this holiday week. A repertoire of comedy successes will be presented. A novel feature of the engagement will be the holding Of a reception on Tuesday afternoon by the little Fillmore sisters and the Glea- son children, juvenile members of the company, who will present, on behalf of Mr. Bunnell, handsome talking doll and music roll to every child in the audienre.
 The Two Kids will also be the bill Tuesday night At the Christmas day matinee Legally Dead" will be pre- sented, and on Christmas night, The Black Flag" will be repeated.

Don't you know that the exclusive rights to leap frog in this district be- long to me-" says Mr. Parkhurst to a policeman in the clever satire on Rooseveltism that the Mimic Four are presenting this week at Polls Wonder land theater, It bristles with similar funny wits and allusions, and in their very funny burlesque of Trilby the same humOr and originality are illus trated. Will H. Fox, who imposes on the piano to the extent of twenty min utes of comedy, introduces a number of equally witty allusions that keep everyone laughing. Bright specialties are presented likewise by MT. Bartlett and Miss May the Burt sisters. Phil and Nettie Peters, Mir. Morrissey and Miss Rich\ Nelson, Glinserettl and Mauvel, and Hines and Coulby. Next week Filson and Errol vii be here in their brilliant social travesty, "Woman vs. Men" Also Stuart, the male Patti. making a grand double feature of ex- traordinary brilliancy.

gIubbed the PatroIrOap

Patrolman B. J. Reilly of the Grand avenue precinct was struck over the head early yesterday morning with a club in the hands of w. J, Gates, a neighbor of the officer. Reilly had completed his nights duty and was on his way home when he saw a man run out of Gates yard. The officer went into the yard to see if there were any more men hanging around when he was struck over the head and a deep gash inflicted. Tor some time Gates has been annoyed by a ''peeping Tom" ," and mistaking Reilly for the intruder who was in reality the man who was running away, struck the blow, Reil- ly's injuries, which are not serious, were dressed by Dr. Roberts, who took four stitches in the wound.
