Now York, Dec. 1S.-The stock market
yielded a panic to-day under the severe
stringency Of money and the Sistrust en-
gendered concerning all classes of secur-
ties on the exchange. The industrials
were the severest sufferers and were the
real centers of the disturbance. but the
efforts to protect holdings in them pre-
eipitated violent liquidation in other
classes of securities. The intervening
Sunday afforded some momentary check
to Saturdays liquidation, as was expect
ed, SO that the opening declines, in SYM
patty with London, were in large part
recovered and the market seemed COM
paratively quiet without sensation.
The announcement of the failure of
trust company and a firm Of brokers
prominent on the exchange caused re-
newed weakness and there were calls for
additional margins by commission
houses. A decision by the clearing house
banks to renew old loans at per cent.
and to avoid, as far as possible, excessive
rates for new loans, quieted the market
and caused some recovery.
In the afternoon severe strfngency de-
veloped again in the money market rates
for call loans bounding up rapidly to 125
per cent, which was the maximum off,
claliy reCOTQeQ. UnOlllcldlI IepoTLS were
made of loans at 1856 per cent. The market
quickly took on panic conditions and
stocks were thrown over entirely with
out regard to prices. Metropolitan and
Tobacco led with losses of more than 20
points, and a large number of industrals
followed with 5 to Is points break. In
the high-grade railroad stocks declines at
the extreme low level ranged from to .
points, including the grangers, trunk
lines, internationals, Southerns and trans
continentals
In the last half by preconcerted agree
ment of the clearing house banks. 100000
G00 was offered on the exchange which
brought the rate for money to per cent.
and caused violent recoyeries of from l
to 10 points in the prices of stocks. All
outside influences were swallowed up in
the acuteness of the local situation.
Semi speculative bonds We're off from 2
to points. Dealings were not on an eX-
traordinary scale. Total sales, $3.50, $50.

CHICAGO MARKETS.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-The small worlds
shipments the decrease on passage and
other statistics rather bullish were COM
plsteiy cvershadoTed in the wheat pit by
the foreign news. The call for additional
volunteers for the British forces in South
Africa alone it was believed increases the
Importance OF the Boer war sufficiently
to stimulate the grain market. The
strength of Liverpool and the vigorous
buying of foreigners were sufficient sup
port for the theories of the local dealers
and the market strong at the opening,
added to its strength throughout the SEES
sion
The crowd In the pit was large, the ac-
tivity and volume of trade greater than
1t had been before months. May opened
iafGFsc over Saturdays close at 69B07Sc.
Shorts covered, but offerings were not
liberal and the price advanced to 701an
7oSsc. From this point the market early
dropped off to initial figures on selling
against privileges, as the price was above
calls. But this was regained and from
that point to the close the advance was
persistent. Outside buying orders were on
the floor In force, shorts became fearful
and covered at substantial losses, and
through 1t all the foreigners bought llber-
ally, absorbing every offer not otherwise
disposed of. A few minutes before the
last trade had been made May was at
flAc. Inc CLOSE was lac over SATURDAY
at nhc
Corn was firm with wheat and the mar
ket rather active. The response, however.
was held In check to a degree by some lib
eral profit-taking. May closed &c up at
$3.50
The animation and strength of wheat
produced only drowsy movement in the
oats market. May closed 1s@Ac better at
24AGG24ssc.
Provisions opened strong. There was
an early advance with wheat, but this
was lost on realizing, principally in New
York longs, who were Influenced by the
Wall street situation. The liberal supply
of hogs and lower prices at the yards
had something of depressing effecl.

THE COPRA INDUSTRY.
An A10rtant Trade May be Trans
1erred to the United staaes
from NArselllea-

Consul Skinner at Marseilles invites
attention TO the fact that the occupa-
ton of the Philippines by the United
States may lead TO the transfer to the
United States of an industry now al
most exclusively confined to the city
of Marseilles. He refers to the copra
industry, and states the situation as
follows:
The crushing Of oleaginous seeds
and cocoanuts, for the extraction of the
oil they contain, has for many years
men, and the skillful use of blended oils
in the manufacture of soap gave to this
city its worldwide reputation for the
latter. Inmore recent times, the Amer
lean cotton seed oil has to a large eN-
tent replaced the copra or cocoanut oil,
at the same time severely crippling the
seed-crushing business. A soap manu-
facturer advises me that the cotton oil
cannot. however. entirely supplant the
cocoanut oil, as the former, if used
alone, produces a soap too soft to be
acceptable to commerce; and the lat
ter, il unmiNed with cotton or peanut
oil, makes soap as much too hard.
/ am informed that mixture of about
half and half produces the best results,
and that the failure of Marseilles man
ufacturers to maintain these proper
tons has been followed by distinct
falling of in the quality of some IA
nous brands Of Marseilles soaps.
THE copra or cocoanuts crushed in
Marseilles come almost exclusively
from the Philippine islands. In the
year 1897 the imports amounted to ESQ.,
1eO metric quintals, in addition to
which 81, 80 metric quintals were i'm
ported from the French colonies. The
highest price paid at Marseilies during
1897 was $6.9i and the lowest S5.3l.
The nuts fall from the trees and lie on
the ground until the hard shell sep
arates from the kernel and decays. The
kernels appears to lose none of its use
full qualities. though permitted to re-
main on the ground for year or more.
When a favorable opportunity occurs
the copra is gathered. dumped into
some small coasting boat. and eventual
~ reaches Marseillcs. At the present
time the price is uncertain and almost
double the average figure. because of a
complete suspension of arrivals from
Manila. On January II the total stock
of copra in the docks and warehouses
was only 1880 quintais. and the fear
now prevails that the troubles among
the natives will prevent the shipment
of any considerable quantity for some
time TO come.
The assurance that means of COM
munication between the Philippines
and the United States will soon be
established will make it appear easy
for American capital TO build and oper-
ate crushing mills; and, with cotton
oil in unlimited quantities to draw
upon. the manufacturers of soap will
be in possession of additional resources
for carrying OH their business. Wash
