STOCKS BREAK SH4RPLY.
Many Ne7c Lcsc Marks Made an
HeaJg Liquidation.

After 2 Arm opening and a brief period OF buoy
ancy the stock market plunged down again yes
ferday under the most severe oUtpour OF stocks
seen during the present decline. On sales Of 1.el9
40 shares such formidable gross declines were re-
corded as S7s points in American Smelling COM
mon, 5ls in Amalsamated Copper in Missouri

n Union Pacific. 4as in Reading 57s in Northern
Pacific AZ in Great Northern preferred, Sle in Con-
soidated Gas, SIS in American Smelling preferred,
sss in Canadian Pacific. gas in ST. Paul and in
National Lead common. There some rally
from the low points in most issues. but net de-
clines for the day uniformly large throughout
the active list.
Although the failure of the Stock Exchange
house of Gross & Kleeberg. alleged HeinZe bro
kers and said TO have been the headquarters for
tue pool in United Copper, was not publicly an
nounced until near the close of the market, this
suspension and the recent pyTotechnics in United
Copper were doubtless responsible for the severe
break. Practically all the active stocks made new
low prices for the year and current movement.
For the inactive tsues there was no market at all
9 trnes, and indeed tho trading was nervous and
feverish enough throughout the entire session for
the day to be classed IN the near-panic category.

March and August last compared with the low hg-

by well informed interests that If an offer for a
large amount of electrolytic copper at l3 cents
should be forthcoming IT would be accepted.
There were said TO have been small sales OF tle
metal bv some Of the independent agencies at 1914
cents but none been reported below that price.
To date the successive reductions made by the
nroducers have met with no response from the
large consumers and the stocks of copper IN the

800 600 600 pounds.
The directors OF the Amaigamated Copper COM

in the copper market the cut would be greater

rum Of that sober Republican oity sadly has been
averted by the withdrawal OF Joseph A. Griffin
who declined to for Mayor either as the candi-
date OF the Independence League or the Committee
of Fifty citizens organization. Mr. Griffin HIM
self said the Committee OF Fifty, whose candidate
he really was. had decided that an independent
movement was not advisable this year. This In
efrsct meant that he did not care to run, because
third candidate in the field this year might have
resulted In the election OF Alderman Frank Matty.

lican organization. under the leadership Francis
Hendricks. renomnsted Mayor Alan c. Eobes and
tho rest OF the present city administration All of
the Democratic ticket save the head was indorsed
by the Independence League but an independent
movement which resulted in three candidates for
Mayor was considered alarming by the Repub-
lcan leaders that for days they have proclaimed
Mr.. Griffin IN various ways that his candidacy rem
dered the city liable to "the danger OF having AL
derrnan Frank Matty FOR Mayor" Consequently he
has been Induced TO declare himself absolutely and
wholly IN favor OF Mayor Fobes's reelection The
Republicans consider that their is assured
and the campaign is moving along serenely IN the
usual channels.

impression that the American prOpo-
SitiOn, which in the conference of 1899
was only taken for consideration, this
time will be approved unanimously.
The debate was opened by Senior
attitude of the United States from the
time OF Benjamin Franklin to the
present day and quoted from diplO-
matte documents showing how Brazil
had ever associated herself with the
United States on this question. He
eulOgized the position assumed by the

the view Oh the whole American con-
tingent. Mr.. Choate's speech fol
lowed, discussion Of the question in
detail. He concluded by saying that

portarce to the question that he
wished to evoke an expressing of
opinion on it by vote of all coun-
tries represented at the conference.
Count Tornelli said the Italian gov
eminent favored the American princi-
pie.
