Yesterdays STOCK MARKEr
List Subjected to Pretty Searching
Liquidation. -..

New York, Oct. 25.-Dealings in stocks
to-day were not up to yesterdays rec
ord, but the dimensions and the as
tonishing breadths and variety Of the
market We're well maintained. The last
was subjected to a pretty searching
liquidation and severe inroads upon
prices resulted. But the benefit to the
markets health OF this process began
to be shown in the latter part of the
day, when there We're substantial re-
coveries from the low level. The re-
dictionary course of the market was
largely due to technical cause. Consid-
Grafton was given to-day to the more
material factors of the disappointing
quarterly statement of the u. S. Steel
corporation, the Irritating tension be-
tween Russia and Great Britain and
the prospect of a considerable gold ex-
port movement. Selling from Steel
ceilters and from the west was very
large, both of the U. S. Steel stocks
and the Paciflcs and Pennsylvania
showed the usual sympathy with U, S.
Steel. London also sold freely here.
While it was believed that the acute
ness of the Anglo-R Russian crisis was
assuaged for the present the situation
was felt to be dangerous and liable to
some explosive episode which might
throw it out of the power Of the diplo-
matists to control. Yelled limitations
Of undisclosed developments in the sit
uation played part in the market. The
report that arrangements had been
practically concluded for $270, 900
Russian loan to be placed in Berlin and
Paris, sufficiently explains the pressure
from those points for gold, and points
leonelusively to a considerable with
drawal Of gold from New York. With
| the interior demand for currency not
yet satisfied, any considerable with
drawal of gold in addition will neces-
sarily result in higher money rates
here. The recognition of this fact
doubtless had its influence in checking
the speculative buying. The reaction
was not beyond control at any time,
Rock Island and Ontario & Western re-
| fiecting their employment as brakes to
restrain the decline. The rally was not
fully maintained and the closing was
easy, but the urgent liquidation was
not renewed.
Bonds We're heavy. Total sales, par
value, S6.59O,00O.
U. $. bonds were unchanged on call.

Stocks Lose
TRADING ELEMENT ACTIVE

NEW YORK, July 3.-The stock mar
ket was extremely irregular through the
first hour, due TO the continuation of
realizing sales and TO some extent TO
reflection of the unN,sy political feel
ing abroad. The first tendency was
downward. but general fractional raj
lies followed. The recovery Of Union
Pacific from the low price of the morn
ing extended TO a full point. Southern
Pacific was strong in sympathy. In the
Industrial list prices were fairly firm.
The volume of business this morning is
less than yesterday, and there are not
lacking efforts by the trading element
TO bring about reaction. The offerings
of this faction. however. have generally
been well taken. and the undertOne of
the speculation is fully steady.
Government bonds unchanged; othSr
bonds. dull. but strong.
The market opened somewhat lower.
but with an immediate tendency 70

The total sales fer London account are
estimated at $4,000 shares. There was no

and advances in the active list were fully
as great at any time during the pres

Mrs. Florence Maybrick
Is NOV a Free Woman
Under Conditions of Release She Must Sail
Without Delay for This Country
Served Fifteen Years.

Of her incarceration was uneventful.
and she was treated the same as any
ordinary convict.
About two months after the death of
Queen Victoria. who always believed
firmly in the guilt OF the American wo-
man. she was transferred TO the infirm-
airy as an attendant and orders were
given 10 those in charge that she was
to have the best of nourishing food to
build up her constitution. in the expec-
tation of ultimate release.
Removed in March.
This might have taken place much
sooner but for the so far unexplained
antipathy toward the unfortunate wO-
man displayed by the late Duke Of
Cambridge, who used his influence to
keep her I'm prison. Upon his death
more consideration was shown Mrs.
Maybrick. and last March she WAS re-
moved to the Catholic Institution Of the
Epiphany in the south of England,
where she was given a chance TO get
used to the outside world before the
time for her being set free arrived.
Mrs. Maybricks general health has
been good ever since she entered Ayles-
bury, although there have been periods
of mental dullness resulting frCfl the
confinement. These will pass away now
that she can have the society OF her
loved ones.
The Washington times., 1904-07-20

LONDON. July 2O-The London Daily
News" announces that Mrs. Florence
Maybrick was liberated from the deten-
ton home at Truro, Cornwall, today.
and left Immediately for France.
While all information regarding the
wherea bouts of Mrs. Florence Maybrick
is carefully Withheld at the Office of the
home secretary It Is generally believed
that she mas already been released from
custody and is now en- route for France
in charge Of a warden to meet heI
mother.
On Ticket of Leave.
Mrs. Maybrick is not free, but is on a
ticket of leave, under the terms Of
when. if rigidly enforced, she would be
obliged TO remain In England and re-
port herself at periodical intervals to
the authorities.
However. in view of her promise to
go to America and stay there the gov
eminent has withdrawn the usual con-
ditions and she will be free to go her
way and chose her own paths so soon
as she arrives In New York, for which
port she will sail without delay.

PROBE BEEF TRUST

BY bringing the beef trust into public
view again, the meat packers strike
has FASTENED action on the part of the
Government in reopening the appealed
case of the trust. 1t is now announced
officially at the Department Of Justice
that the case will come up in the United
States Supreme Court In December.
This Is the first time that any official
of the Government has named the date.
Last winter the Supreme Court grant
ed the petition of Attorney General
Knox for an injunction against the beef
trust, on the ground that its practices
resulted In restraint OF trade. and the
success of the Attorney General in this
particular was always considered
Government victory. II was held, in
fact. TO be a conviction. The Govern
ment was therefore willing 70 sit back
and wait a considerable time for the en-
Joined packers TO demand that the case
be set for argument.

Nothing could have happened to shat
ter this truce more effectively. how
ever, than the big packers strike now in
progress With 1t have come vigorous
accusations that the trust is still in
operation in violation of the edict Of the

The Board OF United States General
Appraisers yesterday. In a decision writ
ten by General Appraiser Howell, decid-
cd against the importers in the famous
''featherstitch braid" case. which has
already been before the courts. and IS
now fairly started on another run
through them. The case was decided by
the United States Circuit Court against
the importers. but the Treasury Depart
meut was not satisfied and directed that
another case be made.
The question at issue is the proper
classification of the goods, which are ex-
tensivey used as trimmings The Gov
eminent claims that they are dut.able
as cotton braids at 90 per cent. while
the importer. in this case Q. NJ. VOm
Baur declares that they are dutiable as
tapes at 40 per cent. General Appraiser
Howell declares that the question is
purely one Of the proper commercial dcs-
iRnatiOn OF the goods. and Overrules the

Many more or less inconspicuous
stocks, including several indUstriaIs not

sharply yesterday. The strongest of the

Island (tEe movement in which was con-
nected with that in Brooklyn Rapid
TransiD, We're Fort Scott preferred
which rose IA points. and Kept all its
gain, and st. Louis and San Francisco
second preferred, which sold as high rs

OF ~ points. Both stocks are in the
Rock Island group, and appeared to owe
their strength to the operations of d
single pool, whose members say that as

especially Frisco second preferred, are
entitled TO sell considerably higher.
Some of the largest gains among the
industrials were IL in Consolidated Gas,
~ in Rubber. pa in Rubber preferred,
and rs in Rubber Goods common.
Strength in Brooklyn Rapid Transit
and coincidently in Long Island Rail
road followed a renewal of the rumor
that was current many months ago that
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was to be leased
by Long Island. Not much credence was
given to the report. and positive denials
OF it ere published during the day, but
the denials had little effect upon the

which was instrumental in advancing
the stock from A..
Early reports from London showed the
market there somewhat disturbed over
the incidents in the Red Sea and the
possibility of a forceful demonstration
against Russia by the powers aggrieved
by her seizures on the high seas. one eff
feet Of the disturbed market being lower
prices for American stocks. This was
reflected by a half-point drop at the
opening here. and was followed by sales
OF a good deal Of stock for London ac-
count, specially Of Atchison. where
profit taking was invited by the rapid
rise the stock had made the previous
day. After opening lower, the market
generally sold of little further. but
there were some notable exceptions
Brooklyn Rapid Transit being decidedly
