The stock market was less active to-day, with
a material decline in values throughout the en
tire list. Heavy sales in London caused a de
cline there which was taken advantage of by
bears and traders, who are ranged on that side
at present, to hammer the market here, and
though there was a good demand for all active
specialties, and the general temper of the room
was conservatively bullish, the pressure in the
afternoon became too great for the limited de
mand. The market opened heavy to weak on
moderate business, with prices generally off
from %@% per cent, from the final llgitres of
last evening, but the good demand caused a
fractional reaction, in the general list, while
Wheeling and Lake Erie rose 1% per cent. This
demand soon slacKed off, however, and the
steady pressure sagged the list off again, though
transactions were after the first hour on a very
limited scale. Vigorous dashes were ma le at
the list just after noon, and again at 2 o'clock
p. m„ which brought the list down to the lowest
figures at about the delivery hour. Union Pacific
and New Jersey Central were the most conspicu
ous in the raids, though the latter was very
quiet. A slight recovery was made in the last
tew minutes, but the close was heavy at or near
the lowest prices reached. The total business
was 263,000 shares. Declines are material, and
Kansas and Texas lost 1%, Union Pacific 1%,
New Jersey Central 1%, St. Paul 1%, Northern
Pacific preferred, Missouri Pacific and Norfolk
and Western preferred 1% per cent, each, Louis
ville and Nashville 1, and the remainder frac
tional amounts. Quicksilver rose 1% per cent.

was fairly steady, but domestic showing brought
uo encouragement, a comparatively full run of
receipts in paitieular acting adversely to the
bullish efforts, and a considerable portion of the
lon ' interest manifested an inclination to un
load. With no neutralizing influences iu the
\\>y of buying orders, the effect was depress
ing, and prices shaded some 6 to 8 points before
the supply was exhausted. Afterward a small
reaction took place, but the close was still 4 to 5
points under last evening, with the tone slow
and a tame impression left of the market lor
the day."

Chicago, Dec. 6.—There was a break In prices
on the Board of Trade to-day. It started about
10 o’clock. May corn, which had sold up to 504£c,
dropped to 54%c. May wheat, which touched
high at 8594 c, dropped to 84%c, and May pork,
which sola up to $l5 70, went bock to $l5 57%,
all before 10:80. it was attributed to the heavy
selling of yesterday. May wheat did not go
below 84Uc, and the reaction from the break
carrie lit back to 85c. It was found that there
were good many buying orders around this
figure, and it held pretty close to 85c for some
time, Trading was rather cautious after the
break, and the aggregate from 10:30 to the close
of the session was not as large as for the first
hour. At 12:30 May was steady at 84%c. Corn
sales were very few at M%c for May. and this
proved to lie the bottom price. There was
enough demaud for the stun at 65c to keep it
pretty close around that figure for practically
the balance of the session. Provisions furnished
a very uncertain flelu tor speculation. May
jiork went down to $l5 35 before toe break was
checked. From this figure it advanced to
$l5 60, and at $12:00 was back to $l5 47J4.
January option followed the same general
course as May. and the same was true of lar i
and ribs. At the close prices were: May wheat
May corn 53%c, May oats &%c

$7 45. January short ribs $7 45

the kind in the South. It is thoroughly equipped, having
five presses, and all the latest mechanical appliances in
the art, the best of artists and the most skillful lithog
raphers, all under the management of an experienced
superintendent.
It also has the advantage of being a part of a well
equipped printing and binding house, provided with every
thing necessary to handle orders promptly, carefully and
economically.
Corporations, manufacturers, banks and bankers, mer
chants and other business men who are about placing
orders, are solicited to give this house an opportunity to
figure on their work. When orders are of sufficient mag
nitude to warrant it, a special agent will be sent to make
estimates.
