Speculative liquidation was the Or
der of the day to-day on the stock
market and towards the close Of the
day the selling became urgent in some
of the stocks which have been highly
manipulated in the progress of the
extended advance The depletion OF
margins and the uncovering of stop
loss orders were evidently responsible
for some of the heavy offerings of
stock which were tumbled upon the
market in growing volume as the de-
cline in prices proceeded.
Generally speaking there was a feel
ing in speculative circles that the
good news was all out" to use fav-
orite Wall street phrase. The fact
that the days news did not bring any
announcement of a new gigantic COM
hine in prospect or in course of achieve
ment probably had much to do with
this feeling The highly seasoned fare
to which the Wall street palate had
been accustomed leaves the specula-
ton rather fiat without its accustomed
"bracer" of a financial consolidation
running up into the millions. The dis
inclination to look for further import
ant developments in the immediate
future was emphasized by the current
reports of contemplated water vaca-
tion trips by several of the capitalists
who have been foremost figures in the
great financial projects which have re-
Gently dazzled the speculative world.
There has been daily and even hourly
expectation that the details of the fin
ancial plan for effecting a merger OF
the steel combinations would be Off
cially given to the public. The delay
In giving out this information has been
trying to the nerves of some of the
spectators long of the steel stocks,
and they sought relief to-day more
than on previous occasions since tie
projected merger became known by un-
oading their holdings.
The repeated rebuffs which the bears
have received have made them very
timid and there was not much evidence
of demand to cover short accounts
even at considerable declines. There
was undoubtedly large short selling
however, to-day in the belief that an
extended period of reaction had been
fairly inaugurated; a belief which had
been INDUCED In many times before
the course of the recent extraordinary
market. The course of affairs in the
money market gave substantial ground
for apprehension on the part of the
SPECTATORS dependent on bans for car
rying their holdings.
1t is evident that the recent enor-
nous extension of credits for financing
railroad combinations has much cur
tailed the future resources of the money
market. The refiux of funds from cir
culation Is distinctly less with the
growing activity OF business .Nquire-

SPECULATIVE LIQUIDATION
WAS THE ORDER OF THE DAY,
URGENCY BECOMING APPAR-

THE GOOD NEWS ALL OUT
AND WALL STREET SETTLED DOWN
TO MAKE THE BEST OF
WHAT HAS BEEN.

NEW YORK, February 13.-Com-
mercial Advertisers London financial
cablegram:
The stock market here showed brisk
trading to-day with very cheerful
tone. With this went the expression
of rather vague anticipations of some
sort OF favorable announcement in the
kings speech tomorrow, but so far as
/ could learn, it apparently was only
case of the wish fathering the
thought.
The American demand was much
buster again. In the early hours
prices were strong on the demand for
Atchison and Reading issues, but a
lot of selling orders from New York
fell like a wet blanket on the market
causing a dull close. The imports OF
gold yesterday amounted to 100000
sterling all in bars; the bank bought
$4,000 in Lisbon to-day and took from
the open market G22,000 in bars. Be
sides these additions G12O,000 arrived
from Egypt The imports for the week
amount to 2426,0O0.
There is a very sharp demand for
money, the bank having complete con-
troll OF the market. Cali money rang
ed from 4 to 5 per cent, time loans 4
per cent, while the bank lent largely
at per cent.
The exchequer bond allotments are
regarded as very disappointing. The
applications for them at the rate OF

amount they asked for. The average
realized for the government is only

THEY WERE FINE
Hr. Sloan Brought Ia some Eost Ex-
ceiIeDt apples and Peaches.

Mr.. E. L. Sloan of the Cimarron valley
called at the Eagle office yesterday and
left some of the finest Ben Davis apples
that ever came to this town. They were
of a perfect size and form and most
excellent taste. Mr.. Sloan says that they
were a fair sample OF what he has on
his farm, and he has just cause TO be
proud Of them, as they are certainly the
most delicious apples. He also brought
some peaches that were raised on six
yesr-old trees, both free and clings. They
were like the apples-of the finest variety
and were the greatest treat that could
have been given to anyone. The cling
stone peaches were of a white variety
and certainly could not be excelled. He
also had sample of Crawford peaches
that were raised from the seed which
were equal to many of the fine varieties
of grated peaches. Mr.. Sloan lives
twenty-five miles southwest of Enid, in
the very heart OF the Cimarron valley.
and the fruit which he brought TO this
Office was all raised in pure sand.
