•VEW YORK. July 23.— There was a fur
ther decline in the stock market to-day, th«
industrials being the most affected by the
railway lift, including a number of high grade
Issues which suffered In sympathy. A num
ber of causes contributed to to-day's break.
In addition to adverse crop reports and fur
ther wild speculation In cotton a building
trade failure created a leellng of alarm. The
break of 5 1 ' points in Amalgamated Copper
is rather more far reaching than is generally
supposed. Much of the stock was purchased
outright at prices fully fifty points above to
day's quotations, and the shrinkage to-day
was as a last straw to many holders. Large
quantities of copper were . thrown overboard
at practically any price that was offered. Bos
ton, according to all accounts, was forced to
let go at least 20.000 shares and the same
doubtless applies In a lesser degree to numer
ous places. Sales of Amalgamated Copper ag
gregated over 80,000 shares out of a total
business of esn 000 shares. Some new low rec
ords were registered to-day. The list em
braces United Statas Realty. Colorado Fuel,
Tennessee Coal and Rock Island common.
This by no means covers the ground. Net
declines of 2 to 5 points were numerous.

Gravenstein Apples and Bartlett Pears moved
off well and the best offerings readily command

small Pears were offering freely and dragged
at easy prices. Plums, Prunes, Peaches and
Apricots in small boxes and crates stood
as previously quoted. Basket Peache*
were in more liberal supply than
previously and prices were shaded. Prices of
Aprlruts in bulk were unchanged, but the can

to be strictly fancy to bring $30 per ton. As
high as $35 was obtained from the regular

A conference yesterday between th*
heirs of the estate of the late Major "W.
B. Hooper and the representatives of the
various cartles Interested In the Occi
dental Hotel property resulted In an un
derstanding: regarding the future of the
Mon,tgomery-street hostelry. It waa
agreed that the Occidental Hotel shall be
maintained for a number fcf years practi
cally under the control of. the Hooper
family, although ostensibly Frank I*
Hooper, nephew of the late Major Hooper
and at present steward of the hotel, will
be the lessee and manager. This arrange
ment, it . is said, is satisfactory to the
members of the Hooper family and the
papers necessary to prolong the manage
ment will be signed to-day. It was also
announced that the representatives of
the owners of the property will recon
struct the interior of the hotel In order
to modernize it. Something like fllO.OCO
will be expended In new sanitary arrange
ments, modern bath tubs, a new elevator
and the Introduction of an eleotrlo bell
system and other new appliances now in
use in the more modern hotels.
George Hooper expects to assume the
management of the Occidental on the first
of the new month and will make few
changes In the corps of assistants who
served for many years under his uncle.
The arrangements for the continuance of
the Occidental Hotel were made through
Attorney Gavin McNab. acting for the
Hoopers, and the Donohoe-Kelly bank,
representing the heirs of the Donahue
estate, which owns the major portion of
the property. 3
The old lease of the Occidental Hotel
expired on the first of this month and
since then there has been much specula
tion among local people. Interested In
real estate, as to what disposition would
be made of the valuable property. The
•sickness of Major Hooper prevented hia
securing a. renewal of his lease, as the
bank people declined to act without hia
presence. It was finally decided that the
Hoopers should continue In control of
the hotel until Major Hooper grew better
or died. When he died it was reported
that the owners of the property were a
unit In the determination that the old
building should be torn down and replaced
by a modern office structure. Yesterday,
however, an entirely new plan was
adopted and the Occidental Hotel, one
of the most famous in the United States,
will continue to exist for another ten
years and under the management of a
Hooper.
Another car of Western Hens, making the
fourth for the current" week, was on sale and
moved off slowly at easy prices. Receipts, of
domestic stock were moderate but ample. There
was a steady demand for large young stock.
but second-class offerings, especially of Hens,
were neglected. Game sold oft well at un
changed prices, the supply and demand about
balancing. '
