CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

A wave Of selling broke upon the mar
ket on the Consolidated STOCK bxchanS5o
with the opening of business az 9;oV
o'clock. Prices gave way easily, the ue
cline gathering impetus as the session
progressed The selling was or gen.
eral character, with the uncovering Oh
numerous commission house stop-loss
orders adding to its volume. Transac.
tions for the two hours and a half or
business totalled 48,110 shares, distrip-
uted among forty-two different stocks.
This represented the heaviest trading TOT
a Saturday since May 4 last. Reports
from abroad of army preparations py tne
greater powers leading to fears or gen
eral European war were mainly respoh-
slble for the downward movement In the
market. Initial prices for the day. mace
on the $50 o'clock opening call, reflected
overnight declines for the leading stocks
ranging from "a to q of point. United
States Steel was particularly prominent
in the opening selling movement, with
1850 shares of that stock changing
hands in the half hours early trading.
The sales OF Steel on the call were at
763s and 76K, the latter being the tinal
call price and representing decline
from Fridays closing of 81 of point:
Reading sold on the call at decline or
u of a point and Union Pacific at de-
cline of "a Of a point, compared with
Friday. Generally the call quotations
were the highest prices Of the. day.
There was n sale Of Wabash preferred
at 5, the only transaction In that stock

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Weak on Foreign Liquid
ation-CIosing Heavy.

All speculation to the contrary. the
local stock market is very sensitive to
the foreign situation, and any Euro
pean selling Of American securities
such as was exhibited yesterday finds
the professional interests of Wall Street
ready to change position and allow
prices to sag, If not decline sharply.
The cheerfulness of the early part of
the week exhibited in the cables from
London and the Continent was Offset
yesterday by an equally gloomy pros
pect regarding the Balkan settlement.
The stability Of European sentiment
cannot be depended on except from
day to day. The opening of the stock
market and the period following during
the entire session yesterday with little
variation was weak, and prices sold off
easily. Considering the half day ses-
sion, the market was fairly active, a
total of 3S6,500 shares being traded In
during the two hours. The closing was
heavy and the confidence Of traders
changed to apprehension, and the bears
held full sway as the final quotations
showed losses ranging from fractions
10 more than 8 points. Such exhibit
tons of strength as were manifested
were of minor importance and the mar
ket could not be characterized as irreg-
ular In its movements. The local con-
ditions offered no valid excuse for a
bear movement; on the contrary, the
news Of the day from commercial and
Industrial centres was very favorable.
The report of the United States Steel
Corporation showed an increase in I'M
filled tonnage of 1,042,S74, the largest
in its history or total Of I,594,3Sl
tons. The local money market did not
exhibit any unusual strain, and the
bank statement displayed a compare
lively favorable movement. CONNER
cial agency reports continued to be en-
couraging, and on the whole for the
day in an individual sense the stock
market should have absorbed some in
centive 10 a betterment. But its action
ignored the home assistance and dem
onstrated its professional character as
on other days.

Queen Alexandra is delighted to

children under her care while the king
and queen are in India at the end of
the year.. Christmas will be passed at
Sandringham, and almost Immediately
afterward her majesty will bring her
grandchildren to Marlborough house
In order that they may visit the pan.
tomimes and other entertainments.
Though somewhat indulgent, Queen
Alexandra maintains discipline among
her grandchildren, and even the prince
of Wales will find that he has to sub.
nit to her ruling. 1t had been sug.
gested that the prince of Wales and
Prince Albert should have a small
household Of their own at York cot.
tage in the absence Of their parents,
but his majesty has decided that they
are too young for this, so that the two
princes will stay at Sandringham with
their sister and younger brothers.

Mo Tainted Money for Laferty.

Congressman Lafferty Of Oregon,
who has gained notoriety as a letter
writer, and who was described the
other day by a fellow representative
as "a young man who spoke himself
into congress and who has written
himself into oblivion" usually eats his
breakfast at a certain Washington no.
tel every morning. Mr.. Lafferty has
introduced a new custom which is OF
great interest to the walters. He is
always served with a finger bowl at
the end OF his meals, but he does not
use It for the purpose of rinsing the
tips of his fingers. He waits until his
check mas been paid and the water
returns with the change. He then Sc
lects whatever coin is to be given as
a tip and hands it to the man with the
apron. After that he takes the re
naming coins, carefully washes them
in the finger bowl. dries them on his
napkin and puts them in his pocket
Mr.. Lafferty's friends say that he
V did take any tainted money
and never will. He won't eve stand
for germs.-BroOkyn Eagle.

80 years Of age, was among the first
vestrymen chosen when Fairfax par
ish, to which the town Of Alexandria
belongs, was created about the year
1765. 1t was a couple Of years later
that the congregation decided to build
a church and the edifce was not fin
ished to the last detail until a few
years before the firing Of "the shot
heard round the world" From that
day to this the exterior Of the church
has undergone practically no altera-
ton. At one time some alterations
were made in the interior, but later
this was wisely decided to have been
a mistake and the church was re-
stored to the style Of Colonial days.
Some of the original fittings. notably
the sounding board and the wine-glass
pulpit. had disappeared In the course
Of the transition, but these were re-
placed by fac-similes Of the originals.
Many of the most interesting OBJ
jects in Christ church are the gen
uine originals which were here In
Washington's time. For instance,
there Is the elaborate crystal chande-
lier Of solid brass with its twelve can
dlesticks typifying the twelve Apos-
ties. Nor, indeed, is this the only re-
hinder Of the days when the church
was lighted by candles, for on the pill
lars n may yet detect under the
paint the marks Of the finder boxes.
The chancel rail and mural tablets of
the Lords Prayer and the Apostles
Creed, which always arrest the at
tentiOn Of visitors, are relics of the
days when George Washington was a
leading member Of the congregation,
and so likewise are the communion
table, reading desk and chairs. Aft
er all, however, perhaps the most

Amusing Instance Of Efforts to Stop
Terrestrial Commotion Comes
From Mexico.

While an earthquake Is a phenom-
enon Of a nature not likely to be treat
ed with discrespect, still less with in
dignity, an Englishman nevertheless
tried, "a hours after his arrival in In
dia, to kick one. He was writing at a
table one afternoon when he became
aware Of an annoying unsteadiness in
the furniture. Thinking that this was
due to the rubbing Of a dog against
the leg Of the table, the Briton kicked
at the beast several times, and it
was only when he looked under the
still shaking table and saw nothing
there that he realized his inability
to stop terrestrial connections.
An American woman who resided
for some years In Mexico also had an
experience with an earthquake. She
was the mother OF two lively small
sons. One day they had been especial
ly obstreperous and did not grow
quieter as the time for her siesta and
theirs approached, After rousing her
from her nap two CT three times by
their antics, she gave them fair warn
ing that II there was any further COM
motion severe punishment wodld
result.
Again she dropped OF into sleep.
