NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, January 19.-The stock
market underwent severe pressure from
further Liquidation today. Prices broke
again and advanced under h renewed
flood of stock which poured upon the
market There was an evident d~eternli-
nation, however, to protect the market
and supporting orders appeared at a
decline to arrest the downward ten
dency and rally prices. The nature of
this buying was indicated by withdraw
al when it had affected it's purpose Of
faeadying the market. It was not pur-
n sued at the advance when prices ap-
Yroacf1ed last nights level. The market
closed with such a supporting move
ment in progress and the tone was
consequently strong at the final rally,
although extremely feverish and very
active. There was continued lack OF
n immediate development in the sit
uation to explain the volume and the
urgency OF the selling. 1t was obvious
that Il strong organization of bear
was active and alert to take
advantage of n sign of weakness
and them raiding tactics were effective
in dislOdging weakened speculative ac-
counts It was generally supposed that
liquidation was in progress of some
important accounts OF long standing
and in syndicated fOrmt which We're be-
ing thrown over t relieve an over
strained position in the market, and for
the protection of brokerage houses. In
div1dual brokerage houses did not es-
cape JUNIORS of money difficulties, n
many vague rumors were kept in con-
stant circulation also of a less specific
character. Many diligert inquiries
4 We're set on foot as a result of these
conditions and clearing house and
banking authorities gave their sanction
to assurance that no evidence of en-
barrassment was observable.
The principal selling pressure cen
tered on Reading, Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific and, after a show OF
strength, ST. Paul. The market showed
the most acute weakness after the ap-
pearance of the bank statement when
enormous offerings of the stocks above
named came upon the market. The
SIS, 1893, 900 cash gain by the n was
: much in excess of expectations. The
SIS, 14S.0 900 loan increase was attributed
to a large transfer of loans from Lon
don to this market. The continued
strength of foreign exchange indicated
an extension of tbs process. None
rates also rose in London.
Total sales OF bonds par value ST.
SIP, 900. Total sales 1y071,60 SOC shares.

WI HIS REASONS.
General Funston Thinks Pay of Army
Officers Should be Increased.

Washington. January 19.-"In San
Francisco a bricklayer, plasterer or
plumber receives more pay than a cap
tain of twenty years service stationed
at n of the posts cal that city, even
considering the latter's quarters at the
Communication Of his grade. A hod
carrier in the same city receives more
pay than a second lieutnant." h
statement is made by Brigadier Gener-
al Funston. commanding the depart
ment Of California, in his annual report
TO the secretary of war.
He makes a strong plea for an in
crease Of army pay, not for the officers
Just entering the service, but the in
crease for length of service should be
much greater than at present.
