MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Jan. 2S.-The decline in
prices of securities was resumed today
after a period of desultory resistance
during the early hours Of the Stock Elk
change session. The Indifferent demand
which became manifest at any rise in
prices and the apprehension that addi-
tiOnal liquidation remained to be effected
prompted the renewed selling by profess
sional operators. There were evidences
of liquidation here and there in the list
to confirm them in their attitude towards
the market. AS n motive for the selling
much was made by the sellers them
selves of the report of the Interstate
suits of its investigation of the Standard
Oil Co... and transmitted to Congress:
This and the report on the eastern coal
carrying railroads make an impression on
financial sentiment as a cumula tive evil
dcnce of the scope of the activities
against corporation abuses This influ-
ence was supplemented also by the circu-
lation of rumOrs of further recommended
tons to be expected from the President
looking to an extension Of the commits
sions inquiry into railroad properties.
Quite positive assertions were in circu-
lauon that decision had been reached
against any increase in the dividend on
United States Steel at tomorrow's meet
ing of directors. Rates for time money
advanced again today. The decline gath
cred force as it progressed and the clos
ing was very weak and active.

Lottery Schemes Given Up.

The following letter was received
yesterday by Rev. N Clfarland. of this
city:
My Dear Sir:-Some time ago l
started a prosecution against Arthur
A. Gleason, Oakland, for distributing
and selling lottery tickets in connec-
ton with the Grange Lottery. sched-
uled for Dec. 81, at Oakland. That en-
terprise is in violation of the State law
and of the federal law.
EX-Alderman Union and some other
parties connected with the lottery re-
ferred to above, called at my house this
week and affirmed that a society con-
nected with your church was arranging
a lottery and insisted that l proceed
against it. He alleged that the French
fair usually has a lottery with it.
Now. 1 60 not know the facts in the
matter urged by Mr.. Union, but l DO
know you as a conscientious, upright
priest, who is doing great work for
the good of our city, and l believe that
/ can do nothing better for the Obje It
that | seek than to refer this to you
and trust that the outcome will justify
my disposal of the matter.
Sincerely yours,
HENRY N. PRINGLE.
The above letter was received by
Father Charland and turned over to
the committee by him. The committee
hereby gives notice that all schemes
that could be considered as a lottery
are stopped and requests parties having
books or tickets to return them at
once. 1t does not want to violate any
law.
1t does not publish the above letter
for purposes of recrimination. but offers
it as the excuse to the parties buying
tickets to the fair.
1t wishes to correct one real error
The fair was undertaken by a commit
tee of the many societies and for the
purpose of raising funds for the cele.

Charland or the church have no inter
est in the same and are not connected
with it in any way.
