NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The market has spoken for itself today. Stocks which have been held on to through the constant decline have been thrown overheard. the buyer taking them at his own price.

A statement attributed to the secretary of treasury intimating that this country was in d critical con dition in regard to tho foreign cOmph- cations accentuated the distruct and brought heavy selling which might otherwise not have come. Always in a market like this it looks worst at the bottom. Plenty of these industrials which were over-bought at fancy prices are now selling below their value and will be picked up by those who know their intrinsic value.

SAFE CRACKERS
 WORK IN TEMPE

Officers were securing the valley yes terday in a search for one or more safe crackers who operated on the safes of the 0. C. McNary Drug Store and the A. A. Jones Cash Grocery store, in Tempe, during the early hours of yes terday morning. The doors were badly smashed on both safes but fortunately no entrance was gained, and to date the only thing missed from either store is about $4.50 in small change taken from the cash register at the drug store.
 The men were bold in their opera tions, and how they escaped without being seen or even arousing nearby sleepers seems peculiar. From all in- dications they worked at the Jones store first. Entrance to the building was gained with pass key through the front door and they worked in plain

 The McNary store was also entered with a pass key from the front, but extra precautions were taken here to have the rear door open too, in case of being discovered from either the front or rear The safe stands in the rear of the store and well out of sight of passersby. The same procedure was taken as on the Jones sate, but with the combination handle off, an explosive was used in an effort to break the lock. Two different parties who live near the store claimed yesterday morning that they heard two distinct explosions about three a. m. and one thought she heard the sound of somebody running up the alley. Neither party paid any further heed to the noise though, and it was seven o'clock yesterday morning before either affair was discovered.
 Both of the Tempe officers went to work on the case at once. and aided by the county officers. they followed up possible clues all day At bit of evi- dence began to creep out last evening and the officers thought taey were on the right track but no arrests have been made yet.
