Loss of Sheep Not Confirmed.

s. W. Bright has received no infor-
nation from the men in charge OF his
migratory sheep in the mountains of
the loss of any of them. He sent up
2500 head. in charge of four drivers.
They were compelled to return from
beyond the summit on account of the
scarcity of feed. They are now with
in the forest reserve lands, and will
go over the summit as soon as the
pasturage is sufficient for their sup
port. The rule of the forest service
at first promulgated to the effect that
no sheep would be allowed to pasture
on reserve lands on the western slope
of the sierras, has been modified, so
we are informed. Mr. Bright secured
permit for his band. this obviating
any necessity of returning to the graz
ing lands in the valleys.

MARKET EXTREMELY WEAK
Slump in Prices Affects Securities
Generally.

New York, Oct 19-The early stock
market showed some remaining traces
of nervousness in the reflection Of the
embarrassment centering around the
United Copper stocks. The steps
taken toward correction of the affairs
involved were a source OF relief and
the announcement that the clearing
house committee found the Mercan-
tile National bank solvent and was
prepared to protect 1t was regarded
with satisfaction. Prices Of stocks
started upward at the outset, but sell.
Ing of Amalgamated Copper after an
initial advance checked the rise. The
price Of Amalgamated Copper fell to
4SA, compared with 1875 at the close
OF the previous day.
One account OF $4,000 shares Of
United Copper was sold out on the
curb during the early hours in six
blocks of 1000 shares each at $12 per
share. Two thousand shares OF pre-

The stock market opened with a
better tone than had been expected
and held rather well until after the
clearinghouse meeting, when rumors
as to the discussion at that meeting
became disturbing factor. Under
this influence prices began to drop
very rapidly and 1t seemed that there
was little or no buying power In the
market. At first the metal stocks
suffered more sharply, but a little
later the railroads, especially Union
Pacific, Reading and ST. Paul fell
away on heavy selling to the lowest
prices of the year. In some instances
the quotations for stocks were the
lowest since 1893.
The clearinghouse committee later
demanded the resignation of every
director of the Mercantile National
bank as condition of the clearing
house coming to the assistance OF
that bank. The designations We're i'm
mediately signed and delivered to the
president of the clearinghouse.
Probably the weakest Of the metal
shares was American Smelling and
Refining, which sold So share lower
than the previous nights close on ex-
tremely heavy selling. 1t was esti-
mated that one broker, who makes a
speciality of trading in this stock, sold
at least 10000 shares Of It before

change that considerable portion of
this represented stock that had been
held as collateral on loans.
