IMPORTANT STOCKS
 DROP IN PRICES Steel, Union Pacific, Read ing and Others Show
 Large Losses

New York, December Slow prices of stocks for several months were recorded today. The selling movement, which was temporarily checked late last week, was resumed this forenoon with increased yigor and some of the largest losses of the present decline were inflicted. Union Pacific sold points to 162is, Reading AZ to 1ssls, Steel 3N to Cts Amalgamated, 3A to 76s4, and American Smelling to 6914, losing 3ss.
 Losses of from 1 to points were re- fected through long list of other stocks from all quarters of the pit
 At the close when quotations were at the lowest the average price for 25 leading issues. including 15 railroads and the re- mainder of the industrials had fallen to within 8 points of the low average of the year, which was reached in February. During the forenoon the trade was quiet, with few important changes. Traders did not care to take a firm attitude, be- cause of the chance of the decision of the United States supreme court in one of the important cases pending. As soon as word was received that none of these decisions would be rendered in the day, heavy selling started. The low priced lS- sues which figured in last weeks break were first attacked and gave way easily The movement spread to the leading spec ulative issues and high priced investment stocks.
 Brokers said liquidation was due to out of town holders of securities, while traders in New York were responsible chiefly for the heavy short selling. Nc concerted effort was made to support the list There was further calling in of loans of financial institutions. This may have been a factor.s 7 ,iet
 Although last weeks bank statement showed that the deficit had been elimi- mated, the margin of surplus reserve is narrow enough to. explain some further reductions in the loan account. Copper producers monthly figures showed the ex- pected increase in stocks on hand, a gain in exports having been more than dis- counted by the decerase in domestic con sumption Bonds were very weak with declines in some active issues, running from 1 to 2 points. Total sales, par value s1 e7oOOO Bonds of the United States on call were unchanged.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. December 9.-(Speclal)-The New Orleans branch of one of the largest New Orleans firms estimated the cotton crop at 13.745000 bales. This caused the unexpected advance in Liverpool before our opening, which was 16 to 10 points higher than Saturday. Then began a slow liquidation by holders, who thought the government ginners' report a large one. until finally practically the entire ad- vance was lost, on selling from Wall Street sources. The decline in the stock market caused a loss of confidence in the continuance of present trade conditions during q discussion of tariff revision. It seems probable we shall recover this de- cline before the government estimate of the crop, which is now thought will be less than 1400o bales What will happen after that estimate Is made will depend on the outlook for business throughout the world.

RAINS DAMAGE
 THE ORANGE CROP Week Opened Quietly in Morris Avenue Wholesale
 Markets Yesterday

The week opened very quietly in most of the Morris avenue wholesale markets, the exceptions being the grain and mill ing and coffee and sugar markets. Prices were on the whole steady. The fly changes occurred in meats and fish, which showed slight reductions from the cur rent quotations. Receipts with the excep- ton of eggs were more than ample for the quiet demand.
 The poultry market Is sagglng under the weight of too ample receip' and the price is expected to break sharply this week as the demand Is light at the pres- ent time.
 The produce dealers nave received ad- vices from Florida agents that the heavy rains in that state have seriously injured the orange crop and that very likely there will be a Christmas shortage of that fruit and a jump in the price. Yes terday's wholesale quotations follow:

In connection with Billy Sundays
coming-The Forum has been under
the impression that the evangelist
pledges that the expense of a tempo
rary tabernacle will be paid from the
first collections. If this be true-the
subscribers for a tabernacle fund will
not be called on for actual cash-un-

the commercial club pays a part of the
construction cost-in order to have
the building retained till the date of
the sangerfest.
At Canton. O., it is understood that
Sunday paid the extra expenses of his
meetings-converted over 5000 people
and carried away $13, 000-for his
share of the collections.
