StCcks-The bears who recovered
their short contract yesterday after
noon on the fall of Santiago, sold stocks
to-day and raided prices down with no
enc to say them nay. The bull ele-
ment refrained entirely from offering
any support and prices of the whole
list dropped away easily and without
any important interruption. There was
an entire absence of any outside inter
est and dealings were very small and
confined to a narrow list. The sharp
break in Metropolitan Street Railway
in the afternoon accentuated the gen
eral weakness and the bears were ap-
parently content to leave their contracts
open over night for there was no COW
ering movement manifest. The clos
ing was near the lowest with net losses
in many cases point or more. A
break in Metropolitan was panied
by rumors that the additional issue
would be $15,C00,0C0 instead of $10,-
0CC,0C0 as heretofore reported. The
statement of earnings for the June
quarter was also considered disappOint
ing. The stock went down easily six
points and closed only one point above
the lowest. No very large amount Of
stock was dislodged by this sharpt de-
cline, business being confined almost
entirely to 100-share lots On the break
The recent weakness of the coalers also
persisted, the offerings of Reading first

there was no purpose of adopting any

that those commissioned had been

The negro soldier, he stated, had the

been seldom taken advantage Of. and
In no case has a negro been commits
