DECLINES In The MARKET
Conditions Of Railway Rates Affect
Speculative Movement.
General Selling Movement Causes
Falling Off In the Prices
of Securities.

New York Jan. 3.-Something
of a shock was given TO spec
uIative sentiment this morning by
the publication of several rather pessi-
mistic statements of the presidents OF
a number of railroads. These state
ments, in effect, were that railway
rates throughout the country were
badly demoralized and that there was
little or no prospect Of putting them on
a stable basis. These views were ex-
pressed forcibly and directly by the
president of one of the great granger
roads and also by the president OF one
of the Eastern trunk lines.
AS the new year brought no specific
development bearing on the general
situation and the stock market con-
tinued narrow and professional those
interviews were the most apparent
basis of quite a general selling move
ment in the market and in consequence
declines were fairly general. In the
early market the shares of the local
street transportation companies re-
fiected animated and confident buying,
but later yielded in sympathy with the
general market The granger shares
continued TO reflect the pressure which
made them conspicuous last week, and
their decided weakness was doubtless
due to the effect of the interviews
already mentioned
A further circumstance affecting the
market particularly in the later deal
ings was q sharp advance in call money
rates rejecting the contraction in loans
incidental to the payment of sS,oo0,0 900
to be made to the Government on Jan.
6. on account of the Union Pacific pur
chase. The furry in the market was
temporary, and prices soon receded.
The market closed duh and steady at
the decline.
