MARKET EXTREMELY WEAK
Slump in Prices Affects Securities
Generally.

New York, Oct. 19.-The early stock
market showed some remaining traces
of nervousness in the reflection of the
embarrassment centering around the
United Copper stocks. The steps
taken toward correction of the affairs
involved were a source of relief and
the announcement that the clearing
house committee found the Mercan-
tile National bank solvent and was
prepared to protect it was regarded
with satisfaction. Prices Of stocks
started upward at the outset, but SELL
Ing of Amalgamated Copper after an
initial advance checked the rise. The
price of Amalgamated Copper fell to
48A, compared with 1875 at the close
of the previous day
One account of $4,000 shares of
United Copper was sold out on the
curb during the early hours in six
blocks of 5000 shares each at $12 per
share. Two thousand shares of pre-
ferred, transferred at the same time,
brought $25 per share.
On the stock exchange there was
intermittent liquidation of the copper
stocks and the influence of this was
resisted by the general list for time,
but was overcome when pressure de-
veloped against Union Pacific and
Reading. There was a sharp break
all around about noon which carried
down American Smelling 73s, to 63A;
Amalgamated Copper 33s, National
Lead Az, Union Pacific 35s and Read
ing, Northern Pacific, Great Northern
preferred, Canadian Pacific, Illinois
Central, Anaconda, Railway Steel
Spring preferred, American Smelling
preferred and American Sugar 2 to
2as.
The market became extremely weak
just before noon and in a short time
the decline became precipitate. Under
heavy selling orders Union Pacific
sold down to 1854, American Smelt-
ing to 63A, Amalgamated Copper to
46 and st. Paul to 1925. These are
all new low records for the year.
Another crash in prices carried
Smelling down sss, the preferred
~, Union Pacific 51, Amalgamated
Copper Az, Reading AZ, Sugar 4,
Southern Pacific 81, Atlantic Coast
line and st. Paul, Northern Pacific,
Illinois Central, Missouri Pacific and
Gas 21a to 2A. The market steadied
abruptly shortly after o'clock, when
conditions seemed to be becoming
panicky and sentiment was relieved.
At lis p. m. Union Pacific sold at
1881, a loss Of SIS points for the
day. Reading sold at S4%, loss of
az for the day.
The sharp weakness in the metal
stocks was exemplified in a sale of
Guggenheim Exploration on the curb
at $3.50. This is $50 per share lower
than the last preceding sale.

preceding days, that the coughing was
more frequent and more violent and
that there was not sufficient expec-
toration. In addition the patient, as
a result of the bad night, was weaker,
but the doctors hope that his satisfac-
tory appetite will help him to over
come the present signs of weakness.
One favorable symptom is the alb
sence Of fever. The general condition
OF the emperor, however, requires the
utmost care. The attending physi-
clans are worried by his majesty's
unwillingness to restrict his work. He
sits for several hours daily at his
desk, thus aggravating his malady.

of Ohio, -enlivened the house by relat-
ing the story of the encampment held
last summer near his home in Athens,
Ohio. He said there was always an
irritation and conflict between farm
ers' sons and merchants, clerks and
the men Of the regular army. Some
trouble happened in Athens, and a
soldier of the regular battery was ar
rested for being drunk and disorderiy.
A friend located him in jail. That
night so or IS members of the battery
to which the prisoner belonged. slip
ped out of camp organized themselves
into a small force. marched up to
town and into the Jail, and as they
were about to attack, a guard OF IN
fantry, commanded by young officer
a corporal or a sergeant Of the state
guard, ordered them to halt. Fifty
or sixty shots were fired and he fell
dead in the street. There never was
a man punished for anything connect
ed with It," said Mr.. Grosvenor. There
never was an officer called on for
report, and there never was any re-
port by any captain or other COM
manding officer of that regular bat
terry, and the feeble attempt OF the To-
cal authorities to punish the men who
committed that cold blooded murder
was utterly futile for reasons that l
do not care to go into just at this

stances"

The house adopted resolution yes

SENATOR Blease on the first day OF
the senate introduced bill endorsing
the action of the president in connec-
ton with the Brownsville affair. The
resolution went over until Wednesday,,
when 1t was passed by vote Of Fl to
16. 1t is suggested by the newspaper
correspondents, that Mr.. Blease was
actuated by q desire to embarrass
Senator Tillman. Just what he was
driving at we do not know; but we
are confirmed in the idea that Mr..
Blease is a smooth citizen. He was
we'll aware that the sentiment Of South
Carolina endorses the action of the
president along this line, and he knew
that majority Of the senator's would
vote for the resolution. AS to wheth-
er Mr.. Blease cares two cents about
the matter one way or the other Is
doubtful.
