STOCK EXCHANGE
 WAS VERY ACTIVE Tennessee Stock Weakened on Account of Reported Strike. LIQUIDATION IN EVIDENCE Second Part of the Day Begun With a Resumption of Realizing in Some
 Stocks, Causing Acute
 Weakness
LIQUIDATION IN EVIDENCE

New York, June 16-The stock market today abandoned the attitude of waiting in which it has been so long steadfast and gave itself over to active liquidation with all the appointments of state of alarm.
 Two expected incidents were the cause of this change First of these was the action of the directors of the Northern Pacific, announced after business hours yesterday, in reducing the dividend on the common stock. This was accepted as a well considered and we'll informed decision from conservative authorities that a seri- ous shortage in the wheat crop in the northwest was to be faced this year, and that period of declining railroad earnings was to be expected as a result of this and the reaction in general business. The ef- feet was pronounced on the stocks of grain-carrying roads, especially in the northwest, and the rather numerous group of stocks which have risen in price on the score of good earnings and hopes of liberal dividends disbursements, adopted by the Northern Pacific, it was taken for granted would have an influence other railroad directors.
 The report of a strike of the employees of eii~ iSiiiSSocC OOdl anu ITOn company weakened that stock and other like proper ties by sympathies. This might be called the first phase of the short Saturday ses- sion. By the end of the first hour, which was the demand of the shorts to cover and supporting orders by the friends of differ ent stocks the decrease has been arrested and the pressure of liquidation relaxed at rally in prices.
 The second and decisive phase began with resumption of realizing in some stocks and was precipitated into acute weakness by the publication of the bulletin reporting the destruction of the foreign legations at Pekin and the killing of the German minister there. This, though without official confirmation, was accepted as throwing the charastic sitpation into acute sellingt and the marke, which has been waiting in hopes of a peaceful and satisfactory solution of that problem threw over stocks in heavy volume.
 The bond market has finally shared in the dullness of the stock market, and the movement of prices has not been com plete. United States new As have ad- Nanced h and the 5's A in the bid price.

Charged with swindling.

Thomas l. Rogers has been arrested at
Burlington on a New York indictment,
charging him with grand larceny. 1t is
alleged he is connected with gang of
swindlers who have been obtaining goods
on false pretences in many parts OF the
country and marketing them in Philadel-
phia. Besides Rogers, Edwin F, Stern,
Walter A. Vandercook and Ignatz Korn-
feldt have also been indicted in New Y ork
as members of this gang. Their method
of operations, it is charged, was to start
retail store in some town or village, estab-
lish a credit, and then purchase on thirty
days time line of goods from leading
wholesaler. The goods would be deliver
ed, and then on the following Sunday
night or Monday morning one of the
members would go to the store, pack the
goods and ship them to New York, and
then to make investigation difficult reship
them to Philadelphia, where they would
be disposed of at auction.
1t is believed that many such bogus
stores have been started in different parts
of Pennsylvania, and that the operations
of the gang amount to very large sum
of money. Rogers Indictment is based on
his alleged operations with other members
of the gang in Peekskill where they
opened store last spring The store was
stocked, and the goods were packed in 100
trunks and shipped to Philadelphia
Rogers will be extradited to New York,
where he will be tried
Mr.. Rogers has secured counsel and will
have the charges against him thoroughly
sifted. He says he can satisfactorily ex-
plain his connection with the case and
does not wish anything hidden or covered
up. He used his own money in the pur-
chase of the goods and paid out nearly
81, 900. If there was any swindling it
was on the part of the others who, now
being trapped seek to lay the blame on
;onoaont narfiac
