Stocks were weaker to-day. At the opening London was a seller and cables reported a general decline iti American railway securities abroad. Following this $2,000,000 in gold was engaged for shipment to Europe to-morrow, and this had a disturbing effect on marginal holders of stocks. Besides this the street was inclined to take a less hopeful view of the prospects for financial legislation at Wasli ington. The result wasa general decline of Vi@ j 11-2 ;er cent in the first hour of trading. In the j downward movement. Sugar, the- Grangers, Louis- ; ville and Nashville, Manhattan, the Southweaterna j and Jersey Central were most prominent. . At the decline brokers representing bear opera- i tors were liberal purchasers and the early loss was j recovered. hicago Gas was especially strong nt ! this time and advanced to 67 : *4 on the decision ■by Judge Bischoff in the Whitner case, which, it j was claimed, removes all the legal obstacles in the way of reorganizing the company. In the afternoon trading Baltimore and Ohio showed great weakness, and nnder ikjuiriat ing sales fell to 83. The final transactions yesterday were at 401/2- The break in the stock was due to the revival of the rumors about an impending receiv ership and ai issue of ten millionsof new preferred stock to provide for the floating debt and other purposes. These reports led to the selling of Western Union, and this stock fell from 86y 2 to 831..,. the nrgument having been advanced that If the rumors afcout Baltimore and Ohio were true the company . would necessarily have to sell its block of tele • graph stock. Pittsburg and Western preferred in sympathy fell 2 per cent to 18. Tne Baltimore and Ohio hold a controlling interest in this pro]> tny. The general list held well for a time, Dut finally the depression in Baltimore and Ohio and the.decline in Western Union had a demorallzlm: effect and in the last half hour there were sales of all the leading issues, speculation closed weak in tone with prices anywhere from y± to 314 per cent lower on the day. Baltimore and Ohio, how ever, lost 71/2 per cent. Tota! sales were 233,168 shares, including sl,6oo susar, 20.200 St. Paul and 13.900 Western Union. Bonds were weak. Sales footed up 1.859.000.

CHICAGO, Iy., Dec. 27.-At wide Intervals during the day's session the wheat market gave signs of slight animation, hut with the exception In eact instance of a few orders 'of no particnlar consequence the trade again fell in'.o a soporific state. There were no English markets, and the absence of cables, in - conjunction with ' a more or less disabled condition of Eastern telegraphic facil ities, ' gave a most pronounced character to the dullness. The market opened easy, par;ly In con- ; tluuaiiou of yesterday's weakne-s and partly by tbe indifference of operators, but later rallied to aboutyefcterday's closing figures. ■ Keports at UntoagO were 270 cars and 73,858 busbels were taken from store. Northwestern ar livuls were 480 cars, against 729 last Friday and 217 a year aco. Continental markets were lower as compared \vi h .Saturday's quo:ations. Export clearances of wheat and flour aggregated 275,729 bushels. Nothing particularly important devel oped during ilie session, a fairly slfiudy to flrni tone prevailing throughout. May wliea: opened from 57c to 57V4C, advanced io 5734 c, closing at 575h<\ *4c higher than yesterday. .Estimated re cclpta for to-morrow, 1!8 cars. CORN— There was nothin,' lively or interesting about corn. Precisely the same couis.' that wheat pursued was followed by this gram. The range of prices was res ricied. Receipts were 402 cars. 27 raore than estimated, a-nd .74.989 bushels were taken from store. No cables were received. Export clearances amounted to 439,520 bushels.

Dun & Co. will to-morrow say in their weekly review of trade: failures for the week have been 322 in the United States, against 350 last year, and 40 in Canada, against 41 last year. The failures for the fourth quarter and the year 1893 not yet finished cannot be definitely stated, but tile n-rgresrate of deferred liabilities for the ' year, while much smaller than in 1893, will vary but little from that of 1891. The year's aggregate of commercial liabilities will probably be about 1 * 170.000,000; In manufacturing over $73,000,000, or 10 percent mor^ than last year, but in traaing ' nr.out $j>B,OuO,OOO, or 96 per cent less than last I year. I The foreign and financial messages of the Prf s' dent were followed by vioW nt reaction in thes ock market last Saturday, with grave fears of mone- ; tary trouble. The sudden panic checked business in many departments a.".d the industries cannot be expected to show signs of improvement until the : new year begins. Orders have tor months been much" smaller tban they were in the summer when production was expanding and prices nioun rapidly, that new causes Of uncertainly have the i more influence. Bessemer pig has declined 25c more at Pittsburg. ! Tte bar-iron association has reduced its price, hut j not yet to the rate at which steel as" well as iron bars are actually sold, and in most departments I this industry suffers irom the speculative advance i in prices and production last slimmer. It is noted > that bessemer and open-hearth steel were offered ! at the same price in bids on 6000 tons which a Pittsburg mill will produce for the appraiser's ; stores here. Minor metals are a shade lower. Anthracite coal is selling at $3 40 in New York harbor. In the great textile manufactures the '■■ usual holiday dullness is increased by delay of or ders, though there is some accumulation of goods for the demand expected soon, standard brown j sheetings and drills are 1 s lower and cotton goods average Vi of 1 per cent lower. For woolen goods the market is extremely dull; soft wool dress- j goods and ladies' cloths are a shade lower and the average of quotations is about l^g per cent lower for the week. - The shoe and leather business does not improve, ! and both leather and manufactured goods decline 1 slightly, though exportation is again hoisting hides about 10 per cent for all In two weekß and for some kinds 25 per cent. Wheat and cotton were depressed by last week's panic and have had little time to recover. Wh°at receipts continue enormous for the week, 3,794,072 bushels, against 1,7)2.908 last year, »n1 Atlantic exports. flour in cluded, have been 7.526.960 bushels in four weeks of December, against 7,763.690 last year. Russian and other supplies are moving freely. Oflicial estimates nre wholly forgotten, and the men : who predicted SI wlicat have disappeared. Cotton has remained at Bi.4c since last Saturdaj', and enormous commercial and mill stocks here and abroad, with a demand for goods much smaller than in September, hinder an advance. The quan tity which has come into sight is 30 per cent less than last year to date, but slightly larger than in i 1892, when the crop was 6,700,000 bales. Railroad earnings in December thus far are 6.4 ! percent larger than last .< ear but. 5.8 pec cent less than in 1892. Payments through clearing-houses were abnormally swollen by lost week's panic, so that the average daily for December at all points is 18.0 per cent more than in 1h94 and 12.2 per cent in exports from New York for three weeks of December, which Is decidedly encouraging, and a decrease of 18 l/ 2 per cent in imports here. BRADSTREET O.V TRADE. NEW YORK, N. V., Dec. 27.— Bradstreefs to- ' morrow will s»y: As i.i the rule in Christmas . week, wholesale trade has been quiet. The holi- i days, • the close of the year and stock-taking i tend to make business slow and promise only i a light trade until late in January, liusiness j failures In the country for a completed year mini- i her 13,013, an increase of more than 26 per cent, I notwithstanding that this is the second year fol ! lowing the panic, in which, as shown by the rec- j I ords. it is usual for the number of failures to de- ! cline. The increase in the number of failures are at the West, Northwest and iv the Middle States, de creases being shown in New England, at the South and on the Pacific Coast. Exports of wheat (Hour as wheat) from both : coasts of the United states this week amount to 3,457,000 bnshels, as compared with 2,056,000 : bushels last week, 1,814,000 bushels in the corre- j sponding week one year ago and as contrascd 1 with .06.000 bushels in Christmas week. 1891. i This week's foreisn shipments of wheat (flour In- j eluded) are the largest since the third week of j January last.

"Aroma and bouquet," said a. well-known ■ wine expert, "are too often taken to mean i the same thing in wine. Flavor pertains especially to the lingering after taste of 1 wine when swallowed. Aroma and bou- I quet appeal only to the smell, and the for ! mer exists in the grape itself, while bou- q uet only manifests itself long after 1 fermentation is completed. Bouquet is j never present except in the purest wines. I It seems to arise from the union of several i agreeable odors, any mixture would surely i destroy it. There are no truly line wines without a strikingly marked agreeable bouquet, and where all other qualities are of equal perfection the bouquet makes the ! distinction that gives to the wine possess j ing it always the preference.'' Much Reading Made Him Mad. "So you don't call at Miss Blyken's house any more," said one young man. "No. She reads too much to suit me." "Makes you feel ignorant, eh ?" "Not exactly that. She reads in one of the family magazines that it is not proper for a young man to invite a girl to the theater without inviting her mother, too." — Washington Star.
