WALL STREET SPECULATION
An Irregular Opening and Prices Tend
ing Downward
As a Result of the Weeks Trading the
1ajorty of Stock r lie Lower.
London Selling

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-After an irregular
opening, the stock market today worked
sharply downward, material losses being
general. The unsettled feeling abroad,
owing to the possible crisis growing out of
the trouble in the Transvaal and sugges-
tions of continued delay in the announce
ment and probable change in the method
OF disposing of the issue of government
bonds, all had an influence in depressing
prices. The tinal sales recorded less i'll
the grangers. The volume of business
was above the recent average. The share
speculation of the week was irregular with
a downward trend. The aggregate volume
of sales was only about equal to the deal
ings of single day in the late panic. AT
the outset on general anticipations of the
speedy announcement of the treasury re-
lief measures, there was a sharp upward
movement in which the grangers
were very conspicuous. AS they
transpired on the subject of the bond issue.
a less confident tone found reflection of
& lies OF stocks for both accounts, resulting
in the loss OF the greater part OF the previ-
GUS advance. The depression was increasd
by steady selling for London account. and
ny apprehension ItldL tllc lTaUSVdat HUI
dent nigh be fo lowed by a political crisis
in Europe. Other outward and distracting
influences were ac lively in the call money
market. a maximum tigu of 20 per cent
being recorded, and the strength in foreign
exchange rates leading to the shipment of
81 900, 900 CT in incidentally with the re-
ports of large importing orders for the
precious metal and local sales of initial
premiums ranging between Il and l a per
cent.
AS a result of the weeks trading mai
ority of the shares were lower, including
Northwest preferred, 2@, and Western
Union 2H per cent. The aggregate sales
were 761 ,69I shares. he market for rail-
road and miscellaneous mortgages today
was slightly more active, considering the
limited session. Weakness predominated.
Bonds for the week were quiet, the tran
sactions footing up only IS, $4,000. The
market displayed d sagging tendency with
the Union Pacific issues especially weak
for obvious reorganization reasons. The
declines were subs antial i'll many cases,
among the more no eworthy being Kansas
Pacific 6's of '96, n; Central Pacific 6's
OF 96. 81; do s., of 'HS, 4. Government
bonds we're irregular for the week. L @
final cali records recession of 2 per cent
in new 4's as compared wi h the closing of
a week ago. The net changes in the others
were unimportant aside from Pacific Us of
'96, which are up l per cent. The to- al
sales were the smallest for a long time,
only $1,000 Silver certificates were neglect
ed, transactions aggregating only $1,000.

Orange Supplies and the Demand
in the East
THE MARKET OVER-SUPPLIED
With Shipments From Europe and From
Mexico
Fruit Blown From the Trees is Rushed to
Market-Prices Not Demoralized and
Prospects Good

The orange situation is unfavorably al
fected by competition of foreign fruit and
by the late winds orm which will force
good many carloads of California oranges
upon market not altogether willing to
receive them.
AS to foreign fruit, there ara now in
transit to arrive within the next ten days,
something like 100000 boxes of European
oranges; Mexican and Jamaican fruit is
also ,ming forward in larger quantities
and somewhat later in the season than was
expected; as to tho effects of the wind
some dozens of carloads of fruit was blown
from the trees, all stages of ripeness and
unr1peness, some of it badly damaged,
some slightly and some not at all. 1t is
necessary that this fruit should be for
warded promptly, and that course is being
pursued.
The exchanges are shipping it as wind.
falls and offering only sound fruit reason
ably ripe. Some of the outside shippers
are forwarding everything that can by
courtesy be called an orange, and some
things which by any stretch of courtesy be
called fruit, thus repeating the foolishness
of the green fruit shipments of the early
ence at the eastern end of the line is being
repeated. OF such fruit as has arrived
large quantities have been rejected. At
Denver on Thursday car of so.called
California oranges were actually
condemned by the health officers
as unfit for food. When it comes
to be necessary to quarantine
wild west city against California fruit it
is time for somebody to interfere-wth a
club if necessary-to discourage the ship
ment of unripe or badly damaged fruit.
The exchanges have carefully avoided
such procedure, with the expected result of
gain in reputation and standing among
eastern dealers in citrus fruit.
Owing to the over-supply of the market
the exchanges are shipping very sparngly,
except as fruit is ordered, SO that prices are
not seriously demoralzed, and there seems
little danger of "A continuance of the pres
ent state of affairs beyond the time neces-
sary to dispose of such fruit as must be
disposed of at once.
