and persistent liquidation In United Stt't'-n
Steol prof cried. The fuel.that much ot

account fjavo It a elnlster Import to tho
speculative mind, owing to the ,?P??ai
faclllt.es of information as to trade con?
ditions at that 1/on and steel eonteiv
The weekly review by the leading au?
thority In the trade wus also regarded
rh decidedly unfavorable owing to lho
continued accumulation of stocks of pig
irori, notwithstanding a contraction In
production In tho last two months un?
precedented for suddenness and amount.
The Increases In ncoumulntiori Is'sa.d to
onnly to the Southern furnaces us well

States Bt-icl preferred ran off three P'-.nLi
in the final dealings, thus deciding -ho
tone ot the market, which hnd been,vv:iv_
erlng and uncertain up to that lime.
The furious speculation In BrooClyn
Transit continued but served rathe- to
cause distrust than to foster an ndvirc-ft.
owing to a lack of authoritative Informa?
tion of iinv substantial grounds for the
huyln-r of this stock. The slock oinrn-d
at a decline .of 3-i, and after numerous
fluctuations up to 53 C-3 fell back to the

It was not until near the close of the

(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)
NEW YORK. Dec. 10.?Tho market opened
irregular with lower quotations for m si _
lho stocks, hut an early appearand, of slren-rth
in the tractions and Atchison. The lower quo?
tations from I-ondon hnd some Influence,; hut
lers than might have been expect. d. " ,
PROFIT-TAKIXO PROFESSIONAL: '
The pront-taklng seemed to be mostly Pro?
fessional.- Brooklyn Rapid Transit opened low
.-r. but rallied quickly. Tho movement does
not se'-m to bo over, and ono of tho strong-cat
pools which sold out on Wednesday rep Html
that the stock was very well taken.
The earnings and tho concession of a loop
connecting tho bridge aro considered as sufll
clent bull arguments by very fair Judges.
AMALGAMATED COPPER:
Alraalgarraued Copper imptfived;.ea?M>V after
nil ..met. tain opening, but Is said to avc R-en
w.il fold. Boston is still t_lking bulls, but It
Is thought that some of tho Lawaon sto.k'hai
been recently distributed.
Tho Internatlonal Banking Corporation Has
encaged for Imports from Japan 1.000.000 yon.
?rlie sum ot MO.MO yen hn? nlr.ad/ bosn re?
celvod This makes thu total amount engaged
l,K?,00O yen or SSW.OOO.
HEAVILY SHOTtT OF STEEL:
Apparently the bucket-shops in lho Western
cities are heavily short of Btot-I prifcrr d.
I very kind ot bear news on Unite, S.ates
Steel has been wired to some of the mos. im?
portant houseB on the Idea that the/ would
communicate the news to their customers and
influence them. The point Is<-. Irniurtanr. ??
allowing that tho customers of the -bucket
Shops must be long of tho stock or th. rro
prlutors would not be bo an-l-uj Lo g.-t It
dT.w street was flooded with adverse fnreiaats
of the next United States Steel, atatomeiit. It
looks as If the shorts ill Pennsylvania woro
being put out again.
6H0RT. OF STEEL SELLING LESS
Tho* sourc.Nof' the short Belling were fairly
Well known, and It was. therefore, less r?.n
vlncliig than It might have been otherwise.
ERIE (SHOWED STRENGTH:
KrU, again showed strength. alH t would
.r-em that tho foreign position oil th,. long
Md" has not been changed. Tho London mar
' |-et was regarded as the most Important factor,
as they artT generally In fairy close touoh with
lho HIH-Morgan Interests. It Is genera ly ex
peeled that the .November stntcmont will miko
^o^movement In Consolidated Gas attra?tte.l
less attention than that In the tractions, but
was probably sympathetic, and some o the
buying almost certainly had a political origin.
American Sugar was bought for Washington.
Tho Western houses wero tho heaviest onrl>
.?Hers of Steol preferred.
MARKET BATHER HEAVY
The market was rather heavy after 13
o'clock, although prices steadied a little when
London selling wis completed. The tractions
wero about the best s>pp rt*d gr up. and
after these Amalgamate jrCopper, but the- *Aest
seemed to be aggressive.*- bearish eliewhure.
GENERAL ELECTRIC FREELY ABSORBED:
General Electric waa in request an I has
..boon freely absorbed for " somo week - p i?,
_t\.i? believed that ony dcvelo->mcn la the
traction Bituatlon must necessarily help --en
einl' Eloctrlc, and the old story ot melon-cutting
crops up with fair regularity.
RESUMPTION OF LIQUIDATION:
One ot tho significant features of tlio market
wus the resumption of liquidation In u mo
of tho minor Industrials, which recently rallieJ.
VTho weakness In Republic Steel and Tonnes
?.c Coal and Iron was significant In conn-c.lon
with the bearlBh rumors on tha trade outlook,
The market'closed ut a'small rally from tho

by a renowal of hull support and reports that
northern spinners have been buyln. .flry
fn-ely recently, and with outside buying or-ie"
thu market was advanced until mar the end
nt the first twenty minutes prices were net
4-JG points higher. The advnnco was tho signal
for considerable hear pressure, und a. tho

at Ing that a strong hour clique had be ;; |
formed on tho theory that tho continued l-ul |
movement is offsetting in the pip-lar nilml .
the government's small crop estimate! While? R
was also reported that demon 1 In the South- |
em spot markets was falling off. Interior;-re
celiits also wero running full, although 'he
port movement shows a subsiding tendency, and
the accumulation of stocks at Interior towna.U
believed to point, to a good Increase Io ho

Court Meets' Monday.
Tho last of the Henrico election excite?
ment will probably be dissipated to-rnor.
row, -when the two remaining warrants
In tlio list of ton will be called up for
trial.
Tho troubles of Mr. Todd, the treasurer
elect of' the county, aro at last at an
end,, Ho has won ?at every point,, and
on the first of next month ho will assumo .
the reins of government. Beforo Justice
Crutclifiolc! yesterday tlio Richmond caso
against him was called. The two wit
-nesses, Thomas, and Hlndle, wore ex?
amined, and on the strength of their tcs.
tlmony tho court refused to Issue a war?
rant, and doclnred Mr. Todd a free man.
Phomnn said he saw Todd pull money
trom his pocket nnd hand It to Hlndle,
while drinks woro being bought for tho
crowd. Hlndle denied that ho over got
ruiy monej' 'from Todd, and said that he
paid for the drinks and sandwiches out
of his (Hlndlc's) own pocket.
The cases to bo heard to-morrow are
those of Treasurer XV. H. Brauer and
Pat McDonnell. Tlio very greatest In?
terest Is taken In the Brauer matters.
The testimony that will go before tho
court will bo tho same as that which
was given before tho county commltteo.
The specific charge Is that the trcasuror
paid to one L. D, Green certain sums
of money with a view to influencing his
vote, Mr. Brauer says ho feels no con?
cern, and that an Immediate acquittal
will result from the trial. He will bo rep?
resented by Mr. H, M. Smith, Jr..
The result of this Brauer case will
bo Interesting, however tho decision goes.
If Mr, Brauer Is acquitted tlio action of
the court will sustain the position of tho
State Committee, and will be a hard
blow at tlio county committee. If he Is
not, the situation will bo just reversed.
These considerations add very greatly to
the Interest of the hearing, and-the entire
county Is awaiting tho. result, "Squire
Friend will probably not sit any more
with his colleagues. Tho magistrates
who wlli try the caso aro 'Squire Lewis,
of Tuckahoe, and 'Squire Thomas, of
Fairfield.
The County Court.will meet on Mon?
day. All of the recently elected ofllcers
will qualify unless they have already
done so,
Ono of the most Interesting matters be?
fore the court will bo tho resolution ot
tho supervisors coiling attention to tho
failure of the constables to enforce tho
dog laws. The resolution will suggest
un Investigation, nnd one will probably
bo ordered. The evil Is becoming a very
aggravated one. and a number ot people
aro reporting damago to flocks by stray
canines.
Judgo Wiekham will also, at thla..
court, consider the grand jury report'
charging contempt of court against C.
XV. Childrey, commissioner of tho rev?

A white,man named J. P. Dlllard was
