THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Dec. 9-Today's short ses-
sion of the stock exchange was limit
ed one, due In great part TO the con-
tnued decentralization among some of the
Industrial stocks. The demand liquida-
tion manifest In sugar gave the tone to
the market from the opening und soon
spread contngion of weakness all
through the industrial list, Opening
sales of $500 shares ran the price down
from l46 to 1illR, compared with i46% last
night The stock fell to 1929 before tho
appearance of the bank statement and
the covering movement by the bears
which followed the publication rallied
the price TO above 14i, gethcr the whole
market The heavy offerings Of Sugar
brought out by this advance again de-
Cided the tone Of the whole market and
broke prices throughout the list. The
last sale of sugar was at l39ia the lowest,
"A net decline of SIS. American Tobacco
kept the leader close company and es-
pecially in the dealings. II sold AT 49, and
on the next and last sale at l04, "a net
loss of 5is. The steel and iron stocks
continued weak, but were not so vulier-
able as they had been recently, and they
held the late rally better than other spe-
Cialties. The railroad stocks were rela-
lively much firmer than the lndustriais.
The extreme declines reached point In
only few of them. The late rally
brought prices of mary railroads above

cd to cover before the appearance of the

GENERAL OTIS,
COMMANDER AT MANILA.

Everybody knows Gen. Otis, for his
name stands at the head of brigndier
generals OH the army list, and the more he
is known the greater he grows. Gen. Otis
succeeded Gen. Wesley Merritt in the
management of the army OF the Philip.
pines, and has the universal reputation
intending the affairs Of the army, with
Dewey looking out for the navy, he has
shown unusual administrative talent, and
his knowledge of civil government, tariffs
and economics is us great as that of any
officer in the service.
by birth Gen. Otis is n Marylandcr. He
is o entering upon his sixty-first year,
but is exceedingly young in spirit and
physique. He graduated from Rochester
University in 1853 and was admitted to
the bar in the following ycar.
When the war broke out he went to the
front as captain of infantry, becoming
colonel of the regiment and brigadicr ger-
cral of volunteers in 1864. In all the
principal battles of the Army of the Po-
tomac lie took part. and in the desperate
fighting around Petersburg he was
wounded. For fourteen years he served
OH the frontier i'll various Indian cam
pa!gls. When wal was declared against
Spain he was in command of the depart
mcnt of the Colorado, and it seems fitting
TINT most of the enlisted mon in his corps
are from that State and the Pacific slope.
Gen. Otis work i'll Manila, however, bids
fair to be the grandcst monument that n
man in his or any other position could
erect for himself.

Lardor, the poet, says in one of his

the lovely complexion Of the faircr sex.
For ages chemists have tried to distill
from herbs and minerals an elixir Of beau
