THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, May 1.-The market was un-
der steady, unremitting pressure today
from one source or another and the result
is a wide gap i'm the total valuation of
securities compared with the close yes
terday which it would require many mill
lions of dollars to bridge. The only cheer
ful factor in the market was some small
early buying for foreign account, which,
however, failed to sustain values and the
exceptional strength of the Gould shares.
The total sales of stocks today were 13l, 800
shares.

HYPERIoN's OPENING EVENT.
Corbett- Fitzsimmons Contest Accord
ing to the Veriscope.

Corbett-F itzsimmons Contest Accord
ing to the Veriscope.
Manager Bunnell has cause for con-
graduation in securing for the opening
attraction at the Hyperion this season
the veriscope pictures Of the Corhett-
Fitzsimmons glove contest. These pic
lures have proved to be the greatest
sensation in amusement circles that
has been produced in the last ten
years.
To be seated in theater and be able
to see the exciting scenes which took
place some three thousand miles away
is certainly q wonderful attraction in
itself, aside from seeing the actions of
the two greatest opponents of the man
1y art, when they are battling for fame
and fortune. The veriscope company
invested over $4,000 in securing the
sole rights and perfecting the machine.
There are in all over $4,000 separate
and distinct pictures, photographed up
on film that is over two and third
miles in length, shown in the exhibit
ton. and these pass before the eye at
the rate of forty a second. Yet so
smoothly do they merge into each 9TH
ST IQdC the WHOLE S6SIHS ike Oue plC-
ture supernaturally animated.
In the exciting sixth round both men
are seen to be working hard, looking
for an opening whereby to land blow
that will make them fame and fortune
Corbett is seen to duck and dodge, side
step, ETC., for which he is so famous.
and, finally working his opponent into
the corner, lands a. terrific right hand
blow which sends Fitzsimmons to the
floor.
1t takes exactly the same length Of
time to show the pictures Of the con-
test as it took to fight it at Carson City,
and any one who witnesses the veri-
scope exhibition. can, by timing Fitz-
simmons when he Is down, settle
whether the referee counted rightly or
not to his own satisfaction.
Much has also been said and written
of the Knockout and foul blow in the
fourteenth round Corbett is seen lead
ing for Fitzsimmons, when the latter
advances and delivers the Knockout
blow in the solar plexus. Immediately
Following this blow, like flash, Fitz-
simmons left hand is seen to strike
Corbett in the jaw while the latter was
on his knees.
According to the veriscope, Fitzsin-
mons struck Corbett when the latter
was down, which. according to the
strict observance of the rules, should
have given the decision to Corbett. A
claim Of this kind was to be made at
the time, but Corbett would not allow
1t, as he preferred defeat to getting the
decision on technicality of this kind.
The original veriscope pictures Of this
q contest will be at the Hyperion theater
4 five days next week, commencing Mon
day. Matinees will be given each day.

A Violent Liquidation Marked Dealings in
Stocks Yesterday,

New York, Aug. 9.-Quite violent IL
quotation set in in the stock market in
the last hour and a. half of trading to-
day and prices came tumbling from
their high places, the declines from the
high point being in many cases very
wide. What the professional traders
have been predicting for some time
came to pass, namely, a sufficient de-
cline in many stocks to uncover stop
loss orders by weak holders of stocks
The dealers have been awary of the
''pyramiding'' of orders on a large
scale, that Is to say the reinvestment
of earnings as fast as made by weak
holders, which threatened what occur
ed to-day.
1t looked for time as though the
market was going to pieces under the
weight of heavy offerings to realize
But after in was over, a taking ac-
count of the day revealed that the net
changes of Importance were confined to
comparatively few stocks. 1t was
the stocks that had enjoyed sensa tional
advances in the morning, notably the
grangers, that suffered most severely in
the afternoon.
The selling to realize started in the
erangers and as the market Is more
sensitive to the influence of this group
than any other, the selling movement
soon broadened by sympathy until it
included pretty much the whole list
1t was noticeable that the grangers
steadied and rallied even while other
prices were still falling, Burlington re-
covering over a point from the lowest,
and there were exceptions all through
the list to the weakness, some promi-
nent stocks holding firm in the midst of
the heaviest settings of other stocks.
The buying in the morning on the
rise was of enormous proportions, ex-
ceeding in volume that for a whole day
of ordinary trading. There was a large
falling off in the early period of the
decline which was hopeful Indication
that prices would resist the pressure
and resume the advance. But faint
beartedness took increasing hold on the
minds of holders and the selling move
ment developed into something like a
throwing overheard of securities.
Sales of the day exceeded $4,000
shares.
The cratic movement of Manhattan
was an unsettling factor in the market.
The short interest in the stock contin-
ned I'm manifest distress and covered
heavily at rising prices. The short in
terest in this and other stocks is be-
lieved to have been largely eliminated
during the early buying. thus with
drawing an important sustaining factor
and the stock fell accordingly towards
it's normal level. The same condition
Of affairs was present in the case of
other stocks and the first decline uncov-
cred stop orders. which, of course, ac-
CELEBRATED the decline.
