SATURDAY, DECEMBER

when It became known that the Boston
troubles had been adjusted and the bank
there which was involved I'm them had
been helped through by an Issue OF $780,
900 clearing house certificates, a feeling Of
relief was apparent 1t may be noted,
however, that the heavy sales Of pool
stocks and the breaks in the manipulated
specialties were apparently started 10y the
unfavorable developments at Boston and
under the actual money market conditions
gained headway as they proceeded.
The British repulses In South Africa were
also among the depressing factors, leading
as they did, to exceedingly heavy foreign
selling, which on Wednesday rose TO as
much as 60,C00 or more shares of stocks
Considerable amounts of high-grade bonds
are said to have been sold in New York of
late for foreign account in some instances
having been offered at material ConCes-
sions. on Thursday, however, London
changed its attitude and bought stocks to
some extent. On the whole the foreign in
luences were adverse and aided the dis
turbinE factors to keep the market In a
nervous state, in which neither earnings,
dividends nor rights like those to sub
scribe for the 10 per cent stock increase by
the Pennsylvania railroad, had any effect in
checking the decline. II would seem, how
ever that the liquidation of weak ac-
counts and unsound sDecuations has been

BRADsTREErs FINAcIAL REVIEW.
Fear of Gold Expectations Before the
Market All Week,

NEW YORK; Dec. 15.--Bradstreet's
Financial Review tomorrow will say:
Although call money rates did not go to
an extreme, there was further pressure in
the loan market, resulting in declines and
liquidation throughout the security list,
more particularly in industrials and special"
kind that would plainly indicate that bull
pools or large speculative interests were
compelled to let go of their holdings
Bearish interests were very active and
after adding to depressing factors by sales
helped the market to steady itself, as they
did on Thursday, by covering extensive
lines of shorts The market had before it
throughout the week the fear of gold ex-
portations, exchange rates advancing in a
way which indicated that gold would prob
ably be taken from New York for London,
as the latter seemed unable to procure
supply at Paris, the actual result being the
engagement of S2,10O,OOO for a shipment by
today's steamer.
The fact that the sales of bonds to the
treasury have ceased because of the sharp
rise in the market price of governments
had bad effect, as it cut off relief through
the action of the treasury, and there was
general disposition to call on Washington
Not until Thursday, however, did Secretary
Gage take any step to meet TINS desire
THE announcement that the January inter
est on the public debt, amounting TO $o'ooo,-
OOO would be anticipated for the month,
though tardy, was well received and aided
in calming the general tone of the market:
Meantime, developments had occurred
which involved features eminently calcu-
lated to unsettle the speculative situation.
The fact that large interests IN boston,
identified with the management OF some
corporations whose securities have been ac-
tive in that market, were in dlfhcultleS with
respect to their holdings of mining ana
other shares reached Wall street in an IN
direct way, and not being clearly under-
stood gave rise to reports that there was
danger in the speculative position OF iarse
people in the New York market. Later on

BROOKLYN CLUB is FINED
Champions Must Pay for Violating the
National League Agreement
RESULT OF WRlGLEY CONTROVERSY
Ban johnson Working to Revive Old
American Association League
MaEnntes Silent About
Reducing Circuit.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The meeting of the
National league of professional base ball
clubs was continued at the Fifth Avenue
hotel today and the Wrgley matter, in
which Brooklyn, New York and Syracuse are
involved, was finally settled.
The Brooklyn base ball club will not have
to pay pecunary damages to the New York
club for having taken Shortstop Wrigley
last season, but that club will have to pay
fine Of $500 for having violated the national
agreement. This fine goes into the league
treasury.
The league remitted the fine of $500 i'm
posed on TIE New York club because of the
forfeited game Of June 16 at the Polo
grounds. In addition to remitting the fine
President Young was ordered to repay
Freedman the receipts of the game, some
thing over $500, and the Brooklyn manage
ment will get no share of it. The protest
of the New Yorks over the New York Balti-
more game of September was not sustained
AS a result of the Wrigley controversy
several changes in the national agreement
and the constitution were made. The mem
