St. Paul stock weakened and threw it

St. Paul stock weakened and threw it over.
 The increased capitalization of the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and St. Paul is $253, 3,OO0,O0O The deprecia- tion in market value of these stocks this month is $175,OO0. 0OO
 Call money started around 25, reacts ed to 20, and again rose to 26 pei. cent. Right from the start funds were very scarce, and many of the lenders re- fused to put out money again. It was this that was chiefly responsible for yesterdays break.
 A year ago there was little attention paid to high carrying charges as stocks were buoyant and the customer cared little about it when his stocks were all the while rising. Now it is different. Prices are falling.
 Money eased off in the afternoon, and this and the fact that everybody was too bearish helped L, check the reaction. The rally was natural enough.
 Liquidation came from all sources. The pools suffered heavily, for they found very little market for their stock and had to sacrifice several points to get buyers. It was not only high riced shares but stocks selling under Iar and even under 50 that were offered for what they would bring.
 The attitude of the "blg men" simi- larly was declared by hosts of self appointed friends" on New street, to be unchanged" For instance, there was more than one expert tipper who asserted that 26 Broadway had been handing out the goods" for weeks, etc, and that they were determined to get real bargains before they saw fit to turn the market.
 The board talked good deal about the losses experienced by several of the heavy plungers who are supposed to have met with reserves in Reading and in the Hill stocks.

YESTERDAY's STOCK MARKET
Heavy Liquidation Causcs Opening De-
 cline but Rally Marks Close.

AAN' SAOSSs
 New York, Dec 19.--A violent suasm of liquidation swept over the stock market to-day and caused downward rush of prices that looked threatening at one time. A substantial recovery occurred before the closing. The storm center was the group of stocks which in the customary expression in the stock market have enjoyed rights" re- gently, phrase which operators in the stocks now use with an ironical em- phasis The crumbling of the market at weak spots spread to pretty much the whole market, although there were few prominent stocks which main- tained show of some resistence to the flood of selling. The confusion in the market for St. Paul continued and was an nusettling influence on the whole market. The snubscription rights came off both classes of the stock this morn ing. The rights" were also admitted to quotation on the stock exchange. The opening price for St. Paul with the price quoted for the rights added showed rise of 1-2 over the closing price for the stock yesterday The hope thus engendered that the disturbance In the stock was over was short lived and 1t soon began to recede again under heavy offerings. The suddenness with which the books of the company were o1O ae hO subscription rights, and the call for S10,000000 installment of subscriptions on December S1, on the eve of the year ly money settlements was the sbiect of some bitter criticism, and of professed fears of hidden design to disturb the money market. Professional traders were loud in protestations of sus- picion that the course of events had been especially arranged to cause a break in prices. There was an extra ordinary confusion and contradiction also in the estimates of the real value of the rights, which have been offered so abundantly in the last few days St. Paul, Northern Pacific and Great Northern, preferred, stiI suffered acute iJ bA1Si SAOiNt III lA1O PL ChclCllI ACdhllGSSs The high priced stocks generally were sfferers in usympathy. There was an enormous speculation in Reading and heavy selling when rumors circulated that there was to be no change in the dividend rate, as predictions had been confdentially made of a six per cent dividend rate for that stock The ex- tent of the recovery from the extreme declines pointed strongly also to exten siye operation by bears. The presence of the secretary of the treasury in the city gave rise to conjectures of more substantial measures of relief for the money market, which continued very stringent both for call and time loans.
 The covering by the shorts towards the close became quite precipitate and worked a material rally in the whole market. The closing was strong and showed a number of substantial net gains, after level of prices at the low point ruling all the way from one to seven points below last night
 Bonds were weak. Total sales, par valeu, $2, 29S, ,OOO
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.
