From the Arena.
PRICES STILL RECEDING
LIQUIDATION CONTINUES IN
WALL STREET.
PRICES STILL RECEDING

New York, Dec. I3.-Speculative condi-
tons were unaltered today. the influences
governing the market being as potent in
depressing prices as on previous days of
she week. Liquidation played a large part
in the days decline and was materially
assisted by an energetic bear faction
which sssailed different stocks from time
TO time in an endeavor to force out long
stock. Discussion as to probable dividend
reductions. combined with the manifest
lack or effective inside support at critical
times discouraged bull operators and
prices were accordingly allowed to take
their course.
The selling pressure shifted about from
one stock TO another, but eventually the
entire list displayed increasing weakness.
which was continued TO the close. New
York Central and American Sugar were
the weakest features of their respective
groups, though the known influences re-
SpOnsible for their weakness were as
sumed to be radically different. In the
case OF American Sugar the recent death
OF President HaVemeyer was assigned AS
the principal cause of the recent heavy
market observers were inclined to attach
much credence to a rumOr that success
full bear operator was making campaign
against the stock
Uncertainty as TO the forthcoming divi-
dend distribution on New York Central
together with the knowledge that further
large sums must De expended 10 CDiAl-
plete the terminal improvements and
other projects in course of construction
are credited with being the primary
reasons for the extensive liquidation in
that stock. Whether the facts outlined
cover the underlying motives for the
weakness in those stocks or not, it is
recognized that the rank and file Of specu-
lators need little more than tentative
demonstration against a stock to encour-
age them to join the movement with en-
thusiasm.
The belief is entertained that tomorrow s
bank statement Will make a favorable
showing. although money conditions are
still regarded as being far from reassur-
ing With virtually nominal markets eX-
listing for mercantile paper and the time
money and with the continuation of the
currency premiums, expectations of an
early readjustment TO a nominal basis
are not encouraging. The October state
ments of both the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific railroads, which showed
large increases in gross earnings convert
ed into a heavy shrinkage in net earnings
owing TO a high ratio OF operating eN-
penses contributed to the weakness in
those stocks and in measure fOstered the
late decline in the general list. Bonds
were irregular. with a lower tendency.

SINGLE SYSTEM BEST.

The best telephone service is that
which enables any subscriber TO talk
with any other. When two telephon .
companies do business in a community,
the only way you can reach all the tele.
phone users is by patronlzing both sys-
tens. That means
Two sets OF telephone bills to pay.
Two telephone bells to ring instead OF
one.
Two directories.to consult instead Of
one.
TIE necessity Of patronizing two COM
panies means loss Of time, loss OF temper,
and loss Of money.
II you par:onize only one OF the com.
panies, you cannot talk through your
telephone to people who patro lie only
fhe other.
Business men generally feel obliged to
use both services. Householders are
divided into two canps with Chinese
Nall OF silence between them SO far az
telephone communication is concerned.
The operation Of two eephone com.
panies in the same community means
the tearing up Of streets twice when once
Tould be enough, and the erection Of
two sets of polesHwhere one would an.
ewer. 1t means the.inyestment OF mon
ey in the useless .duplcation OF expens.
i've construction. 1T means, in ehort.
trouble and expense and poorer tee-
phone service instead OF better. These
facts can be demonstrated from the ex.
perence Of scores,of American towns and
cities.-From the'Lou;sville (ky.) Cour.

To representative Of The West Coast
Lum herman, MIR. Cheney advanced q
someN hat novel proposition, which would
hardly stand a practical test. he eald !:
1T seems to me that the cars coming
here with lreigh: for this city, belong
rightly to the manufacturers; that the
plants located in this city should have
the first call on the cars, for, without
these manufacturers, there would be no
incoming freight-as it is the nianuiac-
turer who builds up the city," Mr..
Cheney would be the first man to object
if his proposition VAS made effective by
the railroads. The larger cities, which
receive the bulk OF the freight, would J..
under his suggestion, get practically all
the cars, or at least, all they could use,
and more. He has only to look at the
reports showing the number OF loaded
cars that reach the larger cities on this
Coast to convince himself OF the bad re.
cults which would accrue to the mills in
the smaller towne. The railroad officials
no doubt make mistakes in their esti-
mate Of the capacity OF mile. but there
is only one way to distribute cars with
any show Of justice, and that lie accord
ing to the rule which has been in vogue
for some time.-West Coast Lum herman.
