: YORK COTTON MARKET.
Wall Street

New York, Oct. 23.-Stocks declined
abruptly at the opening on a resump-
ton of selling. Heaviest selling was
in Steel All Of the most active stocks
with the exception Of Reading broke
1 to 11-2. The intimation of Chair
man Elliott Of the New Haven that
the dividend rate probably would be
cut to four per cent caused a slump
in that stock Of 3 points to 81, a new
low record
Urgent selling went on All classes
of stocks sagged with equal ease
When losses were recorded approx
mating two points in some instances,
bears let up on the pressure TO see
how the market would act when left
to It's own devices. Prices made only
a feeble recovery and business came
almost to a standstill on the upturn.
The pessemistic feeling which has
been chronic among stock market
operators for weeks, despite occasional
upturns such as occurred a few days
ago was brought into full play once
more today. Owing to the accumula-
ton of unfavorable influences the bears
experienced no difficulty IN attracting
a following when they began to ham
mer the list
Depression in the iron and steel in
6ustry, with expectations Of further
slowing down in business and price
reductions, gave the bears their chief
argument and selling Of Steel on a
heavy scale did more than anything
else to lower the market. The situa-
ton in Mexico, expectations Of a fur
Their cut in the New Haven dividend
and impaired prospects for the cotton
crop were other adverse factors.
The fall in prices occurred in the
first hour and the market trend there
after was slowly upward on largely
reduced dealings. Bonds were easier.
The recovery in the market contin-
ued in force until we'll In the afternoon
and much of the earlier decline was ef-
faced. Union Pacific and Reading
gave the best demonstration of recu-
perative power but the effect Of their
rally on the general list was counter
balanced by the relative bacl1wardness
Of Steel. Relief from the pressure Of
foreign offerings helped the interna,-

The market closed steady. Selling
orders made their appearance after de-
livery hour stocks coming from traders
who had a good profit on earlier pur-
chases. Lassitude OF the market on
the rally also encouraged short selling
again which was rather large in Steel

since Mr.. NJ. L, Mullen was transfer.
red here from Rowlesburg, as fore.
man, there has been quite a change
in affairs. While he has not revolu.
tionized things he has made a great
improvement. He keeps the engines
in such condition that they are al

prevents any delays because of hay.
ing nj motive power.
This morning a railroad man stat
ed that under Mr.. Mullen's supervis-
ion more work was being done than
ever. and that it was of a more sat,
isfactory nature. The repairing OF
the freight cars is still claiming the
attention Of the carpenter gang, and
while it is being rushed with all pos
sible haste it seems almost impossible
to get the cars ready for use on
schedule time because of the largo
number demanding attention.
The trains today are running on
schedule time, and no further de.
lays are expected as the tracks along
the Ohio river have been placed in
good condition after the food.
So far no word has been received
here as to the rate to Washington
during the Inauguration, and It is be
lieyed that the regular rate viii be
charged. Other cities in the state
have been favored with special rates.
