 IHE STOCK If ARAEI.
Eccentric Punctuation of Prices.

Eccentric EinCtuutlOn Oi TfaFes New York, Jan 10.-The condition of neglect and professionalism into which the stock market is falling became more eviden to-day, not only in the smaller volume of the trading but in the eccen- tric fiuctuation of prices. The net changes in the majority. of the list Will be found narrow, but the days range was considerable and the changes con- stant and various The rule of opera tion has fallen back to the professional room traders basis of selling on ad- vances and buying on slight recessions The speculation continued quite active in Sugar and Manhattan, but even in these the characteristics were profess sional. In Sugar attempts were made to lift the stock on the assumption that Cuban duties would be remitted. Man haitian was affected by realizing, but was lifted at one time point over yes terday
 Generally speaking, the characteristic of the market was dullness, due to the lack of outside interest and the discon- tinuance of operations by the larger speculative interest. The tone leaned towards depression, s the lack of de- mand made the market vulnerable to even light selling pressure. The aban- donment of the bull campaign in United States Steel and the desire to await a better defined status for the Northern Securities company were general con alterations detracting from the specu
 lative interest.
 ,f4 F., r,,. of trust and savings institution in Cleveland was associated in the Wall street mind with the difficulties of the Everett Moore syndicate, whih have been a rather depressing circumstance in the Wall street background for some time past. The feeling in favor of con seryatism both in the extension of cred- it's and of speculative ventures was strengthened by this event. There has been an extensive speculation in Della ware and Hudson on a confident as- sumption that the dividend on the stock was to be decreased. This assumption was strengthened by the action of the New Jersey Central directors in jump ing their dividend rate from to per cent. The action of the Delaware and Hudson directors to-day in limiting the distribution of last years profits to ' per cent, to b6 disbursed quarterly, was therefore keen disappointment, as it represented no better return than that of last year. The stock was therefore sold heavily causing break of points, with an influence on the whole market The unchanged dividend on Louisville and Nashville was also a disappoint- ment, though in q much less degree. The market failed entirely to respond to the promise of a favorable bank statement tomorrow as indicated by net receipts from the interior by the banks of over $7Ooo00O, supplemented by a gain from the sub-treasury of nearly half million dollars. There s nothing apparent in the domestic hori- zon to explaip this indifference. aud 1t ts

HE CANNOT ACCEPT.
Mr.. Elliott Reluctantly De.
clines Captai1lcy in
Blues Battalion.

Mr.. George B. Elliott. who. on Thurs
day night was elected captain OF Company
B, Richmond Light Infantry Blues, was
waited upon yesterday by the committee
appointed by Captain" Wyatt for this pur-
pose.
Mr. Elliott stated to the committee that
it would be utterly impossible FOR. him to
accept the dattering. offer. under the pres
ent circumstances. owing to the fact that
the position he held with the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad necessitated his leav-
ing town very frequently, and on very
short notice. and that he felt that he
would be doing the company great in
justice and would interfere with his busi-
ness.
Mr.. Elliott thanked the committee. and
addressed communication to the COM
peny. thanking them for the honor con-
ferred upon him; and expressing his SiE-
cere regret that he would not be able 70
accept the captaincy.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Elliott has
declined to accept the office, it leaves
the company in the same position as it
was before the election but the men have
under consideration the names of scvera!
prominent men whom they Will approach
and will. in all probability. gain the con-
sent OF one of these gentlemen to allow
his name to be used as a candidate.
The date of the election has not been
settled. yet, but as the present order for
election expires on December 18th. therc
is little doubt that the election will be
held on Wednesday next.

Ayers, of Wise county, is being urged by
his friends for position on the Virginia

believe that hIr. Ayers is pre- eminently
the man for the place.
After the LIST Of January the former At

does every man who has led the active
life he has always lived, and those who
know him best say that he is the ideal
man to have place on the st. Louis COM
mission.
That Mr.. Ayers is a representa- tive Vir-

welfare and development and whatever
makes for her advancement. is un;ver-
sally known. It is not known. perhaps
that SO substantial: and genuine is his in
tereSt IN this st. Louis exhibit that he
has indicated to his friends that if he
were on the commission he would prac-
tically guarantee to raise $4,000 to sup

doubts that his agreement a Is as good as
an indemnity bond.
Aside from this evidence Of his interest
in the proper representation Of the State.
however Mr. Ayers lives i'll the great
region of undeveloped natural wealth and
is extensively interested in coal mining
lands and in the development of mineral
lands generally. He is an admirable type
of the Virginia gentleman of the old
