NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Dec. 4.-The weakness of
stocks today was in response to the
worldwide tightness in money. A
marked effect was. also produced by
the supreme court decision in the Adj
stone case. Stocks of industrials fell
anywhere from l to over points and
showed but feeble rallying power.
There was early strength in Burling-
ton, some of the iron and steel stocks,
Pacific Mail, Great Northern preferred
and American Dinseed preferred, but
when the downward course began there
was practically no interruption and
the closing was at the lowest, the ma
jority of active stocks showing a loss
of a point or over
Sugar was conspicuously weak and is
over 8 points lower on the day. There
was some short selling of industrials
on the supreme court decision, but that
profit taking was large was very mani
fest from the marked weakness in
stocks, which were recently advanced.

and Sugar.
The apprehension over money affairs
turned principally to foreign centres,
especially to Berlin and Paris. The
advance in the sterling rate at those
points was very near the gold export
level.

No loans were made below per cent.
Some of the borrowers counting upon
an easy money market, following Sat

day and had to bid up the rate.

There was a steady procession of
stockholders of the Electrolytic Marine
Salts company passing through the Of
fees of the State Street Trust COM
pany in Boston yesterday morning, re-
ceiving a final dividend of per cent on
their stock, the certificates of which
they surrendered to the trustees. The
payments were made by check, and as
all the preliminaries for a settlement
had been made there was no delay in
the transaction, and everything was
done with remarkable celebrity.
This winds up the brilliant and at
tractive scheme of Rev. Prescott F.
Jernegan to extract gold from sea
water so far as the committee appoint
ed to take charge of the settlement of
it's affairs is concerned, and from a
possible dividend of nothing the COM
mittee has secured total dividends of
Sc per cent on the par value of the
stock. AS a great portion of the $780,
900 shares was bought at prices rang
ing from so cents to dollar, this
means that the committee has been
able to pay nearly fifty per cent on the
total investment.

II IN who ever made money was the
one who made a great deal at the mo-
ment. If he kept at it, he lost in the
end.
THE man who speculates has the
percentage against him. He must pay
for commissions. He may make a
slight percentage on a rise in stocks,
but if the price drops, he usually gets
scared, and all his profits are gone, with
an Indebtedness staring him in the
face.
That's human nature.
I'm the last few years 1 have had
many men visit me with many schemes
by which they said money might be
coined. I had one answer for all. l
told them, If you had a process by
which you could make gold dollars out
of scrap iron, I wouldn't have anything
to do with it.
Il am opposed to trusts" said Mr.,
Yerkes; "unalterably opposed. When
trade competition becomes so ruinous
that all competitors have to be gathered
together and put under bonds to keep
the peace-wen, want to have nothing
to do with such a combination. Anti
trust legislation, though, will be hard
problem.

CHoward Crosby & Co.'S Boston letter.
Boston, Dec. 4.-Liverpool cables re-
ported that influenced by the Saturday S
weakness in Chicago the Liverpool mar
ket opened from IL to Id lower this morn
ing, steadying later on the smaller world S
shipments and the decrease in the Liver
pool wheat stock. Wheat in Chicago
opened firm at hc over Saturdays close,
the statistics from abroad being consid-
cred rather bullish, particularly the
smaller Russian shipments and the de-
crease on passage of 100000 bushels.
There was only a small trade, how
ever, without much foreign interest.
Scalpers seemed inclined to try for a
rally, but were timid. and commission
houses did very little. The visible supply
of wheat decreased IS, 900 bushels; this is
not much but 1t is a straw showing which
way the wind is likely to blow hereafter.
Northwest receipts were 1O1S against 1854
same day last year.
