THE MARKETS.


New York, Dec. S.--Nearly every stock
in the list declined today. In the in
dustrials the losses ranged from 2 to
nearly points. The railroads did not
suffer so much, but number of them
closed between 1 and 2 points lower
than last night The principal victims
of the selling were the Iron and Steel
stocks, as has been the case all week.
Tennessee Coal led the group, with n
net loss of 6ia points. quite n number
of other metals stocks closed more than
points lower. Sugar was very active
and weak throughout the session and
closed al the low point with a net loss
of Az. The Tobacco stocks, the Rub
Der stocks and the New York special
ties were all prominent in the break
and lost 3 points or upwards. Man
haitian was rather an exception and its
loss was only a fraction. The bears
were active and very aggressive and
had much to do with starting the de-
cline, but they reaped a rich return in
the uncovering of stop loss orders. as
margins were wiped out and heavy
offerings were precipitated on the mar
ket. The banks were calling loans all
day. and the conviction Is unavoidable
that a very drastic liquidation of long
accounts was effected
A large part of the selling was forced
by the calling of loans and the diff
