Why Batteries Didn't Respond.

The fact that the Russian batteries did not reply to the Japanese lombard ment was due partially to the sligh; chance of hitting the enemy's warships at such long range, and partially to a desire not to betray the position of the ta;teries. l. is now thought that the attacking squadron consisted of tMn nnnrntected cruisers

 Only Russian reports have yet been received. and these give no indications as to whether the Russian squadron is still there According to report from Tokio, the Russian squadron was seen off Gensan, Korea, last Thursday. but on this point there is no reliable in formation Speculation, however, most ly inelines to the belief that the Rus sian squadron is not in port at Vladi y0Sf0rk

.Japnn's Probable Purpose.

It seems probable that the purpose of the Japanese fleet was to determine whether or not the Russian ships are in the harbor.
 Alexieif reports that there were sev- en ship5 in the attacking Japanese fleet, anG that the bombardment last ed an hour He says it was entirely ineffective
 Both Probably at Sen.
 If it is true that the Russian Yladi- vostosk squadron is on the sea, it is equally clear that the Japanese. despite their vigilance do not know where it is, or when or where it may strike. The condition is much like that which ob- tained in the United States, when Ger vera and his squadron of four Span ish cruisers and torpedo flotilla was "loose" in the Caribbean sea.

a great power of intimidation to the

CLASSES OF STOCKS.

Feverish Rallies Marked the Market
at Times But Selling Was Renew

" Prices Reached New Low Levels.
Bear Raid Caused Terror Among

Market Closed Weak.
New York. Dec. 12.-The speculative
demand for stocks seemed to be COM
pletely paralyzed to-day and confidence
entirely departed from all of those
who were such eager buyers up to a
week ago at prices far above those
prevailing to-day.
The only buyers in evidence We're
those who had first sold, mostly bear
operators who went short of the mar
ket and then bought to cover at the
inviting profits accrued on the subse-
quent declines. Buying of this char
acter caused occasional feverish rallies
from the violent declines. But the
selling was constantly renewed on the
rallies, and the fall touched new low
levels at each renewal.
Prices hardly got as low to-day as
the low prices touched on Thursday,
but owing to the violent recoveries on
that day and the weak closing of to-
day at the lowest prices, the range of
values is substantially lower tonight
than it was on last Thursday night.
No Resisting Power.
The most striking fact in to-day's
market was the utter lack of resisting
power in the market. Changes in
conditions of the properties affected, or
in the general conditions of finance,
commerce and industry were not sug-
gested by any of the headlong sellers.
Money on call loaned down to 2 per
cent. in the late market and pres
sure for funds did not seem to be the
motive for selling any stocks. The
comparative immunity of the high
grade investment bonds from weakness
was an evidence of this.
