THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Dec. 6.--The tone of the
market for industrial securities showed
a decided contrast today to that for
railroad securities. The break In
prices of the 1ndustrials approached
Generalization by the middle period
OF the afternoon. Meantime the other
stocks almost without exception held
tenaCously to their prices Late in
the day the bears began to cover and
wrought some very marked recoveries
in the Industrial list. At the same
time the railroads which had been al
most stagnant displayed some signs
of animation and rose generally above
yesterdays level. Net gains in a few
railroads reached n point. The late
recovery in stocks was coincident with
an easing in the call money rate to
per cent. after ruling to s per cent.
earlier in the day. The banks were
calling loans and the movement of the
Industrials suggested that they were
in disfavor not only with the specu-
lative public but with the money
lenders. Industrial collateral apparent
ly being displaced to a greater extent
than other classes. The bears were
very active and made bold onslaughta
in the Industrial list, uncovering stop
loss orders on a large scale. AS 1t
was evident the short interest had
been largely extended the room trad
ers turned to the bull side of the gem
eral story. They had some success in
forcing the shorts to cover, and the
demand from the source became rath-
er urgent

dividends were announced. 1t fell off
backwards to 1895 and after rallying
over three points eased off again, clos

the charm of their talents. Slime time in

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
A Very Successful Test is Made in
Chicago

Chicago, H., November H.-Professor w.
s. johnson and C. l.. Fortier, of Milwaukee,
today made successful test in this city
of the wireless telegraphy. He succeeded
in telegraphing without wires through a
suite of several rooms with all the doors
closed and through several walls.
Another test was made when the Signals
were conveyed through fire-proof vaults
and an ordinary telegraph switchboard in
which thirty wires were connected up and
about forty dead wires were located.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
switchboard contained live wires, the cur
rent passed through all the vaults and
through this board. This is one of the most
severe tests that has ever been given wire
less telegraphy. ssa
A third test was made in which the send
ing instrument was placed inside of one OF
the steel vaults and both doors were closed
and the combination lock turned. The Sig
nails were then transmitted clearly from
the inside of the vault to an adjoining
room.
The professor claims that his Invention
is materially different from that of Mar
conf and that instruments can be con-
structed to be carried on horseback and be
ready for operation within few moments
after they have reached their destination.
The sending instrument used today was in
tended only for short distances
