NEW YORK. January 1S.-Realizing on a
large scale was responsible for some sub
stantial declines in todays stock market
Traders were no longer charged with the
selling exclusively. the various pools and
banking syndicates being free sellers
throughout the day. Liquidation was IN
progress In every stock connected with the
community of ownership transaction and
all good news gave way to comprehensive
statements that mshap had been recorded
In every undertaking of the so-called big
men.
The first disappointment was contained in
a circular issued by Erie directors. asking
the consent Of the stockholders to an issue
of bonds not to exceed So. 600 600, an In
crease OF S5.O000O0. In the First Preferred
stock. and the pledging of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company's property and certain ma
1ority holdings OF the stocks of branch lines
for the security of the obligations.
The previous idea had been that the
Pennsylvania Coal Company would be
hnanced by bond based on its own prop
erty, but issued In the name OF the Erie
road. The plan as submitted puts s5,OU,-

The failure of the st. Paul deal. which
Tor time was construed to mean that in

as fact In literal sense. and Northern

freely sold in consequence.

losses, more or less serious, were reflected
at today's low level.

son of the refusal Of the banks to finance

overestimated transactions and overconf-

Deputy Marshal Grant Johnson has
brought the news that the disaffected Creek
Indians known as the Snake band are up
