STOCK MARKET OPERATIONS.

On a very large volume of business for a
two hour session-nearly 100000 shares-the
stock market yesterday continued to decline
until almost the very close. when a partial rally
occurred on heavy covering of shorts re-
newal Of liquidation was TO have been expected
from the extent OF the decline on the preceding
day, many operators being unable to meet the
hurry calls for liberal additional margin and
letting their holdings go for whatever they would
bring. and to this liquidation was added agrees
sive selling by the bear party. London prices
came in lower. contributing TO the weakness
here. and London was a largo seller Of stocks In
this market The appearance OF an excellent
bank statement was followed by a further Weld
ing OF prices. such extreme declines occurring
from the opening figures. which themselves were
in many instances under FRIDAYS last hgures
as 50 points in Union Pacific ga. in Readinp
IN Great Northern, in Northern Pacific. .
IN Canadian Pacific and 27s in St Paul. The
late recovery carried these issues up about II.
points from the lowest but practically, all stosks
closed below the closing level OF tho prevtous
day Among the market leaders St Paul was
the exception to the general trend. making a net
advance OF IL points.
The increase in cash by the Associated por,,,

olcated by the known movements Of money, a,,r
ing the week Deposits increased S33 ID O0O
or Dy an amount almost exactly equalling the in
crease in cash and the $15 14s,6OO increase in
ioans. The latter change doubtless represented
considerable shifting OF loans from abroad as
loans IN this market have been heavily reduced
by reason Of the extensive liquidation Of the
week. AS a result OF the changes in the depos,t
ana cash items the surplus reserve increased

MISSION FUND $4,000 SHORT.
Methodist Episcopal Board May
Shift FOREIGN Accounts.

SEATTLE. Wash, November lG.-Bc-
cause of a debt of $500 hanging over
the Methodist Episcopal board OF foreign
missions in session here that body must
either retrench TO the extent Of $1,000
in making appropriations for the foreign
mission field or violate a strict interpre-
tation of the laws of the church, which
say that the board shall not appropriate
more money than the income of the
foreign mission board during the previous
year.
This condition is due to the separation
of the foreign and the home missions So
cietes during the past church year. The
committee on general appropriation will
report in favor of violating the strict in
terpretaton of the law. and il is expected
its action will be indorsed In the general
meeting, because a curtailment of $40 000
in the income would mean vast reduc-
ton in the number of missionaries In all
foreign fields.
The conference appropriated S26, 800 to
the support of missionary bishops, SIS 900
to the support of retired missionaries and
the widows and orphans of missionaries
S25 600 for incidental needs of missions
$4,000 for the publication fund, $4,000

Hartigan and Evans of headquarters on
a charge of vagrancy and in whose room

Attorney Archer, for the defense. the
couple pleaded guilty and accepted a fine
of $40 on each That amount was paid.
Mrs. Van Horn spent the time since
last Saturday in the workhouse, and this

criticism of the police. 1t is declared that
the woman is d stranger here; that this
is the first time she was arrested and
that before her conviction she was pre-
sumed to be innocent. She was sent to
the workhouse as though she had been
