SOME LIQUIDATION.
Market-some Points of BUSH
ness Wednesday.

New York, Feb. 14-Speculative
liquidation was the order OF the day
Wednesday on the stock market. and
toward the closing of the day the
selling became urgent in some of the
stocks which have been highly manip-
ulated in the progress of the extended
advance. The depletion OF margins
and the uncovering Of stop-loss or
ders were evidently responsible for
some of the heavy offerings of stock
which were tumbled upon the market
in growing volume as the decline in
prices proceeded
The course of affairs in the money
market gave substantial ground for
apprehension on the part of specula-
their holdings. 1t is evident that the
recent enormous extension of credits
for financing railroad combinations
has much eurtailed the future re-
sources of the money market. The
reflux of funds from circulation is
distinctly less with the growing ac
tivity of business requirements, Incl
dent to the spring trade. The absence
Of American subscriptions of any i'm
portant volume to the new British
loan exeites comment 1t is due in
part TO the cas- " conditions of the
foreign market, which resulted in
price for the loan unattraetiye to
American investors, but there can he
no doubt that the narrowed surplus
resources of the New York money
market also had to do with prevent
ing American bids for the loan. The
rate of sterling exchange makes it
evident that any considerable sub
scriptions for American account to
the excheauer bonds would have ne
cessitated gold exports. The January
figures of exports of agricultural
products, showing an increase of
nearly $20000,000 over those of the
preceding January, make this condi-
ton the more extraordinary. 1t is
believed that the return of American
securities during the last few months
has been in much larger volume than
any of the usually accepted statis-
tics Indicate.
London was a large speculative
buyer Of stocks here Wednesday, es-
pecially of Atchison and Norfolk and

overcame the London buying and
swept nearly everything in The mar

cisco second preferred were conSpic
uously strong and retained small
gains.
The most acute weakness was
shown by Sugar, Missouri Pacific the

ers and Paeifics generally. The mar
ket closed under pressure and near
the lowest.

THE MILITIA Is READY
Uuder Orders if Needed at
Cincinnati.
TO PREVENT PROPOSED NUISANCE.
Ready For the Pugs Gases Against Both
to BE Called, IL Injunction Is Not Issued
The Decision Was Expected TO BE De-
livered To-day.

Cincinnati, Feb. 14.~It was learned
on good authority last night that the
decision Of Judge HOLSTER. on which
he has been working since Monday,
viii be very elaborate and unusually
lengthy. 1t was announced that he
will deliver it at about II o'clock this
morning
While there are reports about Gov
ernor Nash having three or four regi-
ments under marching orders, it is
not believed here that any troops
will reach the city this week at least.
The members of the Saengerfest Ath-
letic association. as well as the man
ayers of the contestants, insisted that
they will not attempt to proceed if
permanent injunction is issued
against them, and the general opin-
ion is that such will be the render
ing of the court. The promoters
would then make no further effort
to conduct the fight until after they
had applied to the circuit and SUI
preme courts, and IL they are defeat
ed in the court of last resort they
state positively that they will declare
the fight off. Meantime the prose
cutting attorney and sheriff are vigi-
liant and the former still has Jeffries
and Rubin under bond on charge
cases will be called at once If the
injunction is not issued.
Toledo, o., Feb. 14.-Secret orders
have been received by the Sixth regi-
ment officers to have their companies
in readiness to go to Cincinnati on
short notice should they be required
to aid in preventing the Ruhlin-Jef
fries fight.
Kenton, o.. Feb 14.-Company [,
of this city, is in readiness to go to
Cincinnati. Arrangements for trans
portation have been completed. The
Second and Sixth are the regiments
selected and they will go as soon as
as the decision of Judge HOLSTER is
made. The regiment will mobilize at
Lima. The Eighth Ohio. which
served in the Spanish-American war;
is also under arms. and ready to go
to Cincinnati at once.
Cleveland. Feb. 14.-The Cleveland
battalion Of engineers is under orders
to be ready to mobilize on short no.
tice in case they are needed to assist
Governor Nash in preventing the Gin
cinnati fight About 80 enlisted men
and officers will go if the troops are
ordered out. They will go in heavy
marching order with field equipment
and plenty of ammunition i'll case OF
emergencies.

BAD BLOW FOR FINN.
Charter Bill Passed Pennsylvania SEN
ate-Intended to Rip Anti
Ouayites Out of Office.

Harrisburg, Feb. 14.-ln the senate
Wednesday the ripper BILL which
provides a new charter for second
class cities, was reported from the
committee on municipal affairs by
AIr. Muehlbronner, Of Allegheny, with
the amendments proposed by the
Scranton delegation. The bill before
it was sent back to the committee
had been read second time After
Muehlbronner called up the bill for
third reading, although it had not
been placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Finn, of Allegheny. raised the
point of order that the bill was out
of order on the ground that it was
not on the calendar.
The lieutenant governor ruled that
as the senate was not working under
rules, the point was not well taken
The senate. then. by yive voce vote
decided to take up the bill, and it
was read in full.
After it had been read Mr. Weller
of Bedford, raised a point of order
tllat there was nothlng on record TO
show that the bill was on third read
ing. The chair replied that in the
absence of a record he was unable
to decide. but a moment later the
chief clerks record of the bills on
second reading was read, and the
point of order was declared out OF
order.
Mr. Miller. of Cumberland, moved
TO adjourn, which was defeated.

Finn offered an Amendment.

Mr.. Finn offered an amendment
striking out the provision aboltshing
the office of mayor. In supporting
his amendment Mr. Finn said the
bill was most remarkable one. He
said of the five senators representing
the cities effected, four of them were
opposed to the BILL while Senator
Muehlbronner was the only one in
favor of it. He reproved the latter's
attitude and asked Mr. Muehlbronner
what his reason was for abolishing
the office of mayor.
MIR. Muehlbronner replied that the
people wanted it so. and asked that
the amendment be voted down.
After a wordy passage between Mr..
Finn and Mr.. Washburn, of Craw-
ford. the yeas and nays We're ordered
on the amendment. and it was reject
ed, by a vote of 19 to %.
An amendment, somewhat similar
to that offered by Mr.. Finn. was of
fered by Mr.. Weller and also defeat
ed, but by vive voce vote
Senator Finn discussed the bill by
sections and pointed out that many
features of the measure were incom-
plete and some parts of it were I'M
just. He referred to the so-called
ripper clause as the "meat," the
