New York, Jan. 2O-There was fur
Their falling off inathe volume of business
at the Stock Exchange to4aay. and the
market was depressed by the receipt of
lower quotations from London and the
continent. According to cable advices.
the foreign markets were weakened by
the. arrival at Hamburg of a steamer
with cases of the bubonic plague on
board, The bears here tried to make cap
ital from this, and hammered the list
vigorously at intervals. They met with
little success, however, outside of the
coal stocks. Susquehanna and Western
preferred suddenly broke 31a points to
22A on the announcement that a decis-
ion had been rendered against the COM
pany at StroudSburg, Pa, in its litigation
with the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western. Jersey Central at the same
time, yielded "a; Delaware and Hudson
q and Susquehanna and Western COM
mon IA per cent. The general list was
irregular, and, in the main, lower. The
decline was equal to AG1A per cent,
Manhattan leading. The dealings,
however, were small, and con-
fined largely to the room traders. The
leading commission houses reported a
material decrease in outside orders. In
the late trading Susquehanna and West
ern preferred rallied about 2 points and
the rest of the list recovered 1s0Dss from
the lowest Among the specialties, Hill
nois Steel broke to 49, on the circulation
of unfavorable rumors in regard to the
finances of the company. Late in the day.
it was announced that the company had
effected a loan for 81, 900, 900 for one year,
with the United States Trust Company
of this city, which, it is asserted will
enable it to pay off it's floating debt obli-
cations. The fact that the company has
had to shut down it's steel rail depart
ment, however, was against the stock.
The selling of the active issues such as
Sugar, Chicago Gas, the Changers and
Louisville and Nashville was chiefly for
short account and fair borrowing de-
mand prevailed. Speculation closed about
steady in tone. Net changes show de-
clnes of AG% per cent. in the usually
active shares and 12G134 in the Coalers.
In the specialties, Illinois Steel dropped
4 to SO. Total sales were 154S72 shares,
including 20 800 Sugar 1890 st. Paul H.,
