FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
REACTION IN MARKET.
New Haven and Other Issues Yield to
 Bear Pressure.

New York, Dec. 2e.-A reactionary tendency developed in the stock market today. Traders were more inclined to swing to the short side and at times the popular stocks were under heavy fire from the bears. Pressure was not applied steadily, however. and trading dragged much of the time Only q few prominent shares were forced down as much as a point.
 The downward tendency of the mar ket was influenced by realizing sales in stocks which have made large gains recently and by the especial weakness of individual stocks. Canadian Pacific dropped to 204, the lowest price in two years. New Haven was offered free ly. and at one time sold 1-2 below it's best figure of the day. Weakness of these issues gave the bears an open ing and for a time they made head way. In the final dealings, however the list stiffened, and net changes were above the low level.
 European selling was a factor in the days movement, about 15,00O. shares having been disposed of for foreign account Canadian Pacifc's weakness was due largely to pressure from abroad This stock was sold on direct orders from the continent as well as by London.
 Sales of copper metal at fifteen cents were reported here and the metal mar kets abroad improved. The copper shares felt the stimulating effect of this change for a time, but ultimate ly Joined in the general movement. Sales of the metal were said to be prin- cipally for foreign account, domestic consumers still holding back
 The uncertain outlook for money during the closing days of the year played a part in restricting specula- ton in stocks on the long side Call loans were renewed at 1-2 per cent but later the rate rose to six per cent.
 Bonds were irregular. Wabash As jumped 1-2 and some high grade bonds were fractonslly better. Total sales, par value. 8, 15O, ,000-

Fastest Pacer of 2.05 Class Once Sole
 for $90.

It is not often that $9O horse is able to go forth and battle with the vesry best of the grand circuit bri- gade. and it is not customary for a country merchant to campaign the fastest pacer in the POS class. The records for the racing season just closed however, proved that to the lot of a cheap horse and the country owner have come the honor of leading the list of money winners in the 2.05 class, and the big stables are now casting a longing eye in the direction Of Converse, Ind, and wondering how 1t happened.
 When William Maple. a. cheese mer- chant and huckster of Converse, Ind, bid 80 for a tall, long-legged and father coarse black colt at the last sale of the Daugherty Bros in Wabash, three years ago, he builded better than he knew. Few men about the/sale ring considered the colt worth a seoson's training, but Mir. Maple did not regret his purchase when the following spring the colt. under the name of Walter Cochato, took a re- cord of 2.17 1-4as three-year old over the half-mile track at Russia

New Haven Conn, Dec. 2S-Jess Willard of Kansas knocked out George Rodel of south Africa in the ninth round of a scheduled 20-round bout here tonight. The knockout blow was a right uppercut to the jaw
 Willard weighed in at 229 pounds, while Rodel tipped the scales at 190. AffeT inc first two rounds there was no question of Willard's superiority. Twice he sent the Boer heavyweight to the mat for the count of nine and once for the count of one. Rodei did most of the leading. Willard remaining on the defensive.
 Tonight's bout was the first 2O- round light scheduled in the east since Thanksgiving day. 1901. when Young Corbett knocked out Terry McGoVern at Hartford.
