SPIRITS DECLINE HEAVILY
Effect of Report of a Combine
Abandonment.
Stocks Gain at the Opening. But the
Improvement Is Lost in the
Later Dealings.

New York, Nov. S.-Stocks opened strong
and active, with gains on value of sab
stantiai fractions. The Improvement at
the start this morning was attributed t.
repurchases of lines sold last week. Sugar
was the strong feature and was stimulated
by the execution of a covering order for
block of o, 0Uo shares. The railway list
was held by the expectation of "a decision
in favor of the railroads in the ma Kim I'M
Nebraska freight rate case. London was
inclined to sell stocks while commission
houses traded on both sides of the market.
After the initial dealings weakness de-
veloped, and all OF the early Improvement
was lost. The anthracite coalers were
exceptionally weak, on further unfavOra BILE
reports regarding the coal trade. Aneri
can Spirits preferred, fell 1-2 per cent
on the reported abandonment OF the dis
tillers combination at Louisville. A
rally OF Per cent then occurred. AMI was
again followed by sharp decline
The general market has been very weak
during the last hour and big declines Were
made all along the line. The weakness in
tlIe coalers and the reported postpone snt
of the Nebraska maximum freight rate de-
cision are the causes of the slump.
