the markets for securities on the closing

the supreme court decision in the Trans

increased to-day by news from the west
ABOUT rate cutting and also by advices
from London, and the continent of a
more Warlike feeling In the eastern oues-
tons. The bears had the upperhand and
pushed their advantage with vigor, being
encouraged by the receipt of numerous
selling orders by commission houses from
Philadelphia. Boston Chicago and other
cities. The decline in prices ranged from
| p to u per cent, and as the downward
movement made progress, many stop or
ders were executed. Missouri Pacific was
singled out for special attack on the re-
ports current that the company had taken
the initiative in rate cutting by making a
reduction from the regular schedule
charges on eggs. This story afterward
met with an emphatic denial by President
George Gould, who also pronounced the
rumors about a receivership for the COM
pany as being without the slightest foun-
dalton in fact. Before the receipt of Mr.
Gould's denial. however Missouri Pacific
