NEW YORK STOCKS

or Two Points Declines.

NTW YORK. Dec. 13.-As the session
waned the market began TO show more
positive signs Of weakness and the de-
clinos were extended. I'm some cases to
points, and there seemed to be very
little rallying power back Of the list.
Even Reading. which during the greater
part Of the day had been strong and
somewhat higher turned weak. and
broke nearly a point. The Hin shares
suffered more than the average, Great
Northern going off points. and North
en Pacific a Ike amount. Union Pacific
was ~ lower. and the Steels .. Lake
Shore and Northern and st. Paul lost a
point
The final close was but little better
than low and the market was weak,
the volume Of business very light.
Money was high and the selling in a

dation.

NEW YORK. Dec. 13.-Noon-Wau
Street has forgotten its happy mood Of

Casm. of momentary endurance The
real conditions were potent this morn

Of the bear element. the bulls failing

or Presidential situation should warrant
amy special activity on their part. The
bears considered IL good enough for
them to take a try on their side, Du-
while they found the market soft and
yielding they did not seem to care TO
press their advantage, contenung them
selves with scalpinE. in-and-out trading.
There is some Improvement in the
railroad situation. quite a few roads
having reversed their decreasing tend
oncy in earnings during the last two or
three weeks, and the substantial relief
Of the Street over the unequivocal re-
1usaI Of the President to be again n
candidate. were perhaps. influences to

het q very duh. inactive tone.
The preliminary skirmishes IN the
Presidential race also interested Lon
con; and there was not much dispOsi-
tion To trade on the other side. At
times the New York ticker was silent
for minutes. indicating the extreme
dullncss OF the market.
As rule railroads are finding it diff
1cult 10 keep up their net earnings de

better. The fight in the Illinois Central
Hattie for a rich prize has not yet
g-ached the acute stage. Plans are be-

1t is reported that insiders are dis
counting the expected poor railroad
statements TO be given thb public early
in July. as this period - expected to
show the decreased returns both IN
freight and passenger traffic.
It was very evident that. strong houses
were pressing 70 a sale such high grade
shares as Northern Fbcifc, Great
Northern. Reading. and s.. Pdul-these
stocks sacEng slowly and with dcS-
Terate resistance to every break. but
stiil going on the down grade. The
pressure on New York Central made II
the weak'iug of the day.
The weakness in the Industrial list.
especially In Copper and Smelter shares,
stocks that have heretofore shown good
strength, was noticed, and the effect
was more or less serious on the whole
list. The reported closing OF siXty-niue
out of nincty-twO blast furnaces owned
BY the United States Steel Corporation
was more unfortunate for the employees
Of that corporation than for the mar
ket, as the support Of the shares, when
necessary. Is always at hand.
