Breeding good horse of any kind
is the first essential thing to the stock
raisers of this State. In last Sun
days Sporting Section OF The Times
Dispatch an article appeared regarding
the class of hunter that brought the
greatest price. and 1T was pointed
out that 1t was just as cheap to raise
such a horse for the market as 1t was
to raise a horse of smaller value. To
carry out this idea fully 1t is we'll to
remember that horse OF any class,
whether hunter. roadster, park hack,
or indeed. n pony or work horse,
should have certain conformation In
order to bring fair return for the
money that has been expended by the
breeder in raising him.

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Trading on the Washington Stock Ex-
change yesterday was small in volume,
and on declining prices or at prices estab-
lished within the past few days on
regular call but three trades were placed
on the record One Of these was 10 shares

points below the last sale, an amount
about equal 10 the dividend OF the stock,
which will be paid at the beginning Of
the year. In other words. the stock was
placed on the ex-dividend basis.
The other trades on regular call were
sales Of 200 shares OF Mitchell Mining at
the established price OF Is cents share.

20 shares at 2Sl5, the price being bid up
by degrees from Is. The preferred shares
suffered another decline yesterday, sell
ing in 40-share lots from 63Ss down TO 62la
The aggregate transactions were 81

COMMENT ON MARKET.

George l. Edmunds, OF Miller &
Co--"The market most Of the day
showed a downward tendency. Profess
sional opinion most OF the day was bear
ish and, in fact, extreme sentiment along
that line appeared on the publication of
the Union Pacific report. but I see no
liquidation in consequence as the result
thereof Some talk about sugar was
heard, and the latest story 10 account
for the selling was that a well-known
Boston operator. always identified with
fantastic exhibitions, was leading a vigor-
Gus bear campaign Ia the stock New
York Central was weak on talk with re-
gard 10 uncertainty as 20 the dividend 10
be declared next week. While there Is no
means OF predicting when any permanent
upward move viii start 1 feel that when
II does come II will be predicated upon
merit and value. and my faith in the bull
position Is founded entirely on the belief
that securities are selling Tar below those
prices which should and viii be recorded

cial crisis, and during that time not
much can be expected Of the market"

ket was dull, even the room traders at

New York. Dec. 13.-DuIIness in the
stock market was no more relieved to-
day than it was yesterday, but yester-
days scattering mixture OF advances and
declines in prices were changed to-day
into pretty general series Of declines.
There was not a prominent stock on the
list that escaped the prevailing tendency,
and the downward movement Of the mar
ket appeared to be not so much the re-
suit Of active selling pressure as of a
feeble buying power
Stocks declined on relatively small
transactions, finding little support. Tone
appeared to be given to the market as a
whole by continuing weakness in the
American Sugar Refining and New York
central shares. As regarding New York
central. discussion was still rife concern
ing the proposed plans OF the railroad
company for raising money, and this mat
ter has now become such a leading topic
or debate that It is not unlikely that the
matter viii serve as a source of unsettle-
ment in the plans OF the company and as
TO what is the future dividend policy.
Coast Line Shows Decline.
The stock market was unfavorably af-
fected to-day by further fall in the At
lantic Coast Line shares and the Chicago
and Northwestern Securities, due pre-
sumably in the one instance to the de-
cision of the Atlantic Coast Line manage
ment TO pay the dividend upon its stock
IN scrip, and in the other TO the deferring
OF the dividends upon the Chicago and
Great Western debenture bonds
More or less depression was also caused
by the selling OF the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific stocks. which took place
following upon the receipt in the financial
district Of the earnings statements Of the
two last-named companies for October
The Southern Pacihc's gross earnings for
the month OF Sl,2O00oO were changed into
\ net decrease of $i.400.0io. The Union
Pacific's gross for the same period in
creased SSl5,000 but its net decreased Ss35.-
900.
Call money rates, which were 4 little
lower most Of the day than they were yes
terday, rose to 10 per cent in the after
noon.
In London to-day sentiment appeared
10 be somewhat depressed on account of
intimauons that owing 10 the demands for
gold that are being addressed 10 that
