Most Important News of the Day Ig-
nOred by the Traders.
Meyer & Kiser's Telegram

lNCgtI q ASe > 1tltSTdtl.I
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The most important
news of the day was totally ignored in the
stock market. 1t was that British con-
soils, which have been slowly rising for
some days, had taken a sudden jump to
rs per cent, the advance being ascribed
to a change for the better in the South
African situation and a consequent buying
houses considered that this news had an
important bearing on the market, but trad
ers whose transactions now form a very
large proportion of the total We're infu-
enced entirely by superficial indications.
These indications were, on the whole, of a
bearish character. There was almost a to-
tai absence of outside buying, while in
some quarters ii was thought liquidation
was heavy. Almost the only stock that
showed any material strength was Missouri
Pacific, which was bought rather heavily
by brokers representing Gould interests.
During the morning there was some de-
cidedly good selling of Manhattan, which
was to a large extent absorbed by traders.
These traders subsequently liquidated their
holdings and during the afternoon the pres
sure became very pronounced and the stock
became positively weak. closing some nine
points below the highest of yesterday.
A~malgamated Copper, which had been
pretty steady during the latter part of
the day, broke sharply during the last
hour. selling at the lowest price yet
reached. There was no news in regard to
the property. but fears are entertained
that the dividend may be reduced and the
bears profess to believe there is a possf-
bility that it will be passed. Some OF the
selling to-day was based on the eXpecta-
ton that to-morrow's bank statement will
make n very unfavOrable showing. 1t is
estimated that the banks have lost in cur
rency some s., 100000.

AN EXPERTS OPINION.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Elm order to ex-
animation of DR.. =. w. Carr, who was
called as an expert by the defense to-day in
the case of Mrs. Lola Ida BONNIE, on trial
for the murder of James Seymour Ayres.
jr., counsel asked him TO give an opinion as
to the relative positions of Mrs. BONNIE and
Ayres when the shots were fired. District
Attorney Gould claimed that the only per-
son able TO give such information wa Mrs.
BONNIE herself. Counsel for the defense
answered that the detectives and the dis
trict attorney and his assistant, with their
skill and experience, had elected from the
defendant at police headquarters a detailed
statement OF every fact and circumstance,
and that placing her on the stand would
adduce nothing new. Upon this statement.
he said, counsel based their defense.
The court held that the question could be
asked as to the effect firing produced by a
pistol at a certain distance from the object.
and also within what distance the person
using the weapon might have stood in order
10 infiict wounds such as were found UPON
Ayres's BODY.
The witness answered that from the ma
ture of the wounds the pistol could not
have been held at a distance greater than
twenty-four 10 eighteen inches from the
body.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The regular session
of the grain markets did not provide much
excitement to-day, but curb trading after
the regular close was one of the heaviest
in months and revealed a shortage among
pit traders that exceeded all calculations.
So vigorous was this demand from scalpeTs
who had been pounding the market all day
in a vain effort to force liquidation by out
siders that May wheat jumped from SOC to
S5%c, representing the highest point on the
crop. Corn sold up sharply, but failed to
quite reach its previous high point OF 72lAc
