14 EVERYTHING DROPPED Losses Sustained on Chicago 'Change List From Top to Bottom. Early Briskness Rapidly Van ished on a Scarcity of Buyers. Short Sellers Hammered and Pardridge and Cudahy Unloaded. Intense Dullness and a Ten dency to Droop in New York Stocks. CnicAGO, N0v.28.— wheat market mads » little show of strength early in the day, mainly on some higher private cables and rumors of a cold wave forming in the North west and threatening the winter wheat re gion. For a time there was a fair amount of buying, largely by th 3 short interest, and December touched 9:tVbc and MaySl.oo%. But the business was exceedingly dull, and In the absence of buyers heaviness soon ruled, fo'lowed quickly t.y decided weakness. Some of the early buyers began to unload their purchases and short fellers commenced to hammer the market. Pardridgc and Cud ahy, who had been good buyers early, after ward sold generously, an 1 the market, fail- Ing to get much support, prices soon gave way. December touching 9.2V«c and Hay93%C There was no life or animation in the trade, and the weakness was more tha result of the dullness than any especially bearish features which were developed. The board's early cables were undecipherable, but private ad vices were that foreign markets were strong er. There was a slight reaction after the re cession to the figures last quoted, but there was renewed weakness during the last hour, December going to 9Wic and May to "Wfcc on reports of lower prices at Berlin and Ant werp. The close was steady at y.'^ic for De cember and OftViic for May. Corn was low and weaker, the squeeze in November and December seemed to be grad ually subsiding. Shorts have either gener ally covered or have resolved to stand out and face the consequences. At the start there were sellers at 70c, but there was no transactions until it had fallen to 7Jc. and finally at C6c. There is a rumor that shorts will tender new No. 2 on their contracts. With very light transactions and no excite ment, the close was steady at GSc. It was rumored that the weakness in this mouth was due to the only remaining heavy short having settled with the clique. At any rate, the closing price showed a drop of 12c per bu, com pa-ed with the opening price of yesterday. The deferred futures were also weak. Slay opened unchanged at 43c. touched 4'4l'sc, weakened to 4".^c, and Closed at 4-% c. Oats were very dull and closed Vie lower than on yesterday. With large receipts of hogs at the yarns. and prices li(?£l.~c lower; with grains"weak lind with an Immense stock of pork on hand, provisions were naturally weak. The tend ency was slowly downward throughout the session, and the close was at about inside figures. The leading futures ranged as follows: Open- High- Low- Clos- Articlks. ing. est. est. Ing.

New York, Nov. 23.— The stock market today was asuin intensely dulFand remained without feature of any kind other than the continued weakness of Chicago gas. which was sold freely by the bears and scored a final loss of 1% per cent. Another increase in the bank reserves shows that the tendency in all important financial centers is in the direction of easy money at low rates. The [Movement in the position of the associat ed banks, however, had no immediate effect upon the stock market today and dullness and stagnation were the only char.ictciistics of the general Vat throughout the session. The opening was from Vi to % per cent higher than last night's figures, but the pres sure 011 Chicago (;as began immediately and while it was powerless to effect any material decline in railroads, it checked any disposi tion to operate even on the part of traders which may hove existed. As a consequence a drooping tendency was given the list though the fluctuations were insignificant. Chicago lias was forced off to s!>c from Clc and failed to rally more than \a per cent; it closed J% per cent lower. The Post says: This morning's two-hour market was encouraging, at least. in a nega tive way. It reflected no. uneasiness over the possible results of yesterday's failure; and. indeed. It is already quite clear that tl - e serious losses, if any, will" fall upon individ uals and not upon institutions or upon the community as a whole. Aside from this the market was absolutely dull and flat. Not even the unexpectedly large sain in bank re- I sources, reported in the weekly statement, had any noticeable effect. This was very generally taken as a confirmation of the idea which has gained currency of late that no - business of consequence will be done until the opening of 1893. Doubtless there are good reasons for holding this opinion; amount them th 3 traditional dislike of brok ers to begin new undertakings of any mag nitude just before squaring accounts for the year But It should be kept 111 mind that in such markets as this the speculative project! of Wall Btreet are of infinitely less impor tance than the actions of the outside com munity. From their standpoint the develoD ments of December will exceed in impor ance those of any recent month.

Among my neighbors at home In Bill ings county is a plain, poor and not over strong-minded individual who is com monly known as "Judge" McDougaid. He is not a lawyer, nor did he ever pre side in any court of justice, or even at a county horse trot. Newcomers always stare when they first hear him addressed as juclge.but they soon find out that the title is tied as fast to him as is Dr. Green's or Elder Jordan's. Sooner or later they always ask how it happened, and the following story is repeated if any of the neighbors happen to be about. The process of his rise to judge ship was, indeed, rather unusual and peculiar, having less to do with a sheep skin than with the hide of a chestnut sorrel filly. Thf way of it was this: When McDougaid— then plain Elihu without any title— when McDougaid took inventory of stock at the end of a certain hard winter, the ro'ind-up con tained just one article that his neigh bors would have accepted as a present —a neat and tidy sorrel mare, three years old. They were not likely to get her as a present, however, or in any other way except by the payment of a handsome price, for Mac had a deep realization that his possessing a mare like this was an anomaly only to be reck oned on as we reckon on comets and dollars rolling up hill, lie was firmly determined to make the most of this opportunity, notto get "took in" in a trade, as Ins wife declared he was sure to, and to hold on to the mare through thick ana thin until he should receive. Rash in hand, the price he had placed upon her. Well, she was a good deal above the average, cut from an altogether differ-' ent piece. She was pretty gaunt from living on cornstalks all winter, and mor tal man couldn't keep her coat smooth, in Mac's old shed, but if you knew any thing about horses you could see in a minute that she was a prize. She was tall, rather ieggy yet, but" bound to be come a beauty. Her head was as pretty as a picture, and she was full of "spirit and style. In a city market she might have brought almost any price, even' to one of four iigures. for she was just the kind fancy dealers like for their fash ionable customers, but in our back woods Macs chances' for selling were limited, and he felt that he fully appre ciated her value whan he fixed her price at ?175. "A hundred and seventy-five — not a cent under!" he was wont to declare as he brought her out for the inspection of neighbors. It was a frequent, remark ami a frequent oceurr.-nea. We wer^ having an early spring that year, but too wet to work yet, ami as Mac lived o:i the main roid wa used to stop in often. Several of us were sort of keep ing track of things, not knowing what might hanpen. 1 myself had M 23 in the bank that I didn't invest for just that reason. Among others in a similar situation was Sam Ayer, the richest man In the neighborhood. Sam was an English man, and a true son of his nation In being a thorough horseman. He was attracted to a good piece of horseflesh as steel tiiing3 are to a magnetic needle, and if he once coveted an animal, he was bound sooner or later to make it his own. He had his own peculiar methods of dealing, which were so aggravating and annoying to the other party that the victim was ap! to become glad to close dp the transaction at almost any price. Ana so Aver generally made a go;d trade. 1 once know a book agent who sold cart loads of nselesa books on the same principle. He v.as such an ex tivmely disagreeable man to have around that everybody bought to get rid of him. bain Aver had been coming frequent ly to see the mare and was alwnv- dick ering with Mack to effect a trade. But be was not wMlinitopay the price asked and Mack doggedly refused to lower it. He was no match for Aver in the way of argument, but he met every ple.i with his persistent "hunrterd an' seven ty-five, not a cent under," feeling that in strict adherence to that principle was his only safety. . - It was one of the last days of March that the matter came to a crisis. Ayer had strolled into McDongaM's and the two had rambled down to the barn. The Englishman had l>ev-n advancing some of his old arguments and Mack had be come slightly irritated. "Not a penny under" he repeated sharply as he clung to the mare's halter and vainly endeavored to direct her course over the soft soggy ground, sink ing to his ankles every step- "A hun derd an' seveuty-five dollars to Gabril himself." .. "Weil, ye can't sell to ? er." said Sam Ayer composedly, jingling the change in his trousers packet. "Aid as humans can't pay no Mich price, I'll give ye a 'undred and fifty dollars for that mare and that's all I will give. It'll lake the bother twenty-five to fill 'er up." "Well, when ye tret a chance to fill up that man' for a hundred and fifty dol lars, yell jest let me know, won't ye?'' Mac "with withering sarcasm. "Yell jest wiite me a letter, will ye?" "1 s'pose ye couldn't 'ear by word o' mouth!'' suggested Ayer without change of expression, but Mac was zigzagginsr his way back to the stable with the restless filly, and soon disap peared. Mr. Samuel Ayer. however, cared nothing foe such* rebuffs. He calmly loitered along toward the house, stopped to peer into the euro-crib and pig pen, and presently presented hhnself before the superior half of the establishment. Mrs. McUougaid was visible only through a mist, darkly, said mist ema nating from a pot of burning grease where she was tr\ ing doughnuts. She received her guest cavalierly, and to his statement of the case and his com plimentary insinuation that he didn't like to go further before consulting her. "fur the bargain wouldn't b» bindin', and wiinmin was halways more difti culter to please than men," she tossed her head and replied snappishly that •'We don't put up with everything. We don't put up with a hundred an' fifty dollars for that mare." "Now, looky 'ere," said Ayer, includ ing the approaching husband amoitic the victims, "you uns scetn to thiuk that because that mare looks a little better'n some others she's worth twice as much money, Mid that's jest where ye're foolin' yerselves. Good looks don't draw the plow nor co to mill. Fifty pounds o' muscle is worth more'n 500 wounds o' swell. Ef ye was in some city hit 'ad be a different thins, but ye can't sell to bisr-bngs that'll pay for style— ye've got to sell to hus that'll pay fer bizness." The undeniable facts and sense of this speech made a visible depression on the McDougaid spirits. Mac mut tered his usual refrain, aud Mrs. Mac, savnjrely spearing a cake, remarked tha-t "aiiyway, sorrel was a good wear in' <-olor." Aver was not slow to follow up his artvaiitaae. A trader quite as much as a blacksmith knows the desirability of hayinir his iron hot, and Ayer prepared for an all-night's campaign if necessary. r J]hts afternoon passed In arguments and badgering depreciation on one side and dodged but gradually fainter-hearted resistance on the other. Supper was eaten, but it did not interfere with the conflict. Finally, at 9 o'clock Ajer thought it expedient to rise from his chair and make a feint ot leaving. His oiler had risen to a f 170. "Well," said McDjugald, with visible relief at his guest's departure, "if we decide to take >er offer we'll let ye know." "No, ye won't," said Ayer promptly.' "Ye'il take it now or never. 1 was a fool to make it. an' my fool-hoodum ant a goin' to last. That nlly ant worth no such money, an' it's a nighty good thinir for me ye didn't take me up. I'm much obliged to ye— l must be goin'." But he did not sro immediately, nor for half an hour, and he played the cords of his speech so well in the" meantime that when he did finally step over the thresh hold, homeward bound, he carried with him the pleasant consciousness that his lonur-sought object was attained, and h«j left behind him his note for §170 and a prjmise to send for the mare after the next Sunday, when his stabie should be cleared of some tat cattle. Aud so ended the first lesson. The second lesson opens In the same place twenty hours iater; that is to say. the next evening after supper. The MeDougakb again have a visitar, one Kelly, a Yankee-Irishman with a great turn at devices, a bitter rival of Ayer's, and also a candidate for the possession of the sorrel filly. He had heard nothing of the consummated trade and Mac was very loth to tell him, feeling that he had weak ened somewhat from his much vaunted position and dreading Kelly's well-known temper. He tried despair ingly to keep the conversation away from the mare but was unable to do so. Kelly spoke of her incidentally and then mentioned, with the buyer's in stict, that the chances of getting rid of her at that time, of year were small. The conversation drifted on to her points and pedigree until Kelly said in a lofty neanner that when they jrot "ready to sell they could just let him know." "We'll tack up a notice three years ahead," answered Mrs. McDougaid sharply. "But if you want a sorrel critter now yev'e come to the wrong conip'ny." "We told Ayer he could have er," ex plained Mac apologetically, "He'd a boarded here till we did; didn't ye hear that babby?" turning to his wife. But this meek suggestion did not have the effect of even a very small vial of oil on the troubled waters. The storm arose promptly, and McDougaid soon found the wife of his bosom joined in the fotces against him. "A hunderd and seventy dollars" cried Kelly anf.rily when Mrs. Mac had indignantly informed him of the price received. "I thought ye had more sinse. I'd a give a hunderd an' siveuty five any minit." . "And we ain't got cash neither." ndded Mrs. McDougaid, but on showing her husband's infamy to the last shred. "We've got about four inches o' paper to show fer that mart.*." "Ye know we get int'rest, M'ri', v said McDougaid feebly. "Six percent. It'll be sonittconsid'able by fall," "i, s'pose she's goue?" said Kelly sul icily. "is" pose she ain't," retorted the mis tress of the man»e. "We can feed 'er fur Dim if we couldn't for ourself. Ourn eats more, likely." Kelly turned in his chair with a queer expression on his face. Presently he spoke, incidentally, of course, but with bitter nature, of the insecurity of notes in general, and the vital necessity of backers— "one mail's like to die, ye see." He told ot a neighbor who had held a man's note and the man died. The heirs fought over the property so long that the note actually outlawed be fore th i y got done, and the neighbor nerer got a cent, besides having to nay lawyer's fees, lie lauded the mare to the skies," aud amplified on the big prices th;it horses "was bringin' this spring." Be mentioned that Ayer had beat Peters in that suit, as he alias beat everybody. And again he returned to the merits of the colt, repeating in dole ful accents, '\aid only f 170. If he'd only known!*' "Well, I wish you had," said Mrs. McDousald bluntly. "I could a' used that if Mac couldn't. 1 could a-bought some up-stairs window curtings." "A note," began Keliy again with something like pulpit oratory. A note is simply a contrac'. it ain't money and it never will be. It ain't nuthin' more n'r less than a promus, and Where's tiie proiiius that's got the ring o ? metal? Aver mebby'll pay, if he lives long enuogfa and has the money, but if ye should lose that note where'd ye be? That is. of course, after the man's gone. .Now if ye lost ye could jist siud to me and Initnejetly have uiore'n its equal cash in hand." "Might as well talko' losing the itch."' said Mrs. Dougald with much disgust. "That pocketoook's big ez a meetiu' 'ouse." Then receiving no answer she looked up and a meteoric rayofjintelli geqce made her add: " 'nless we lost it intentional." The cat was out of the bae, but it took time to run her to earth. Kelly needed ail his arguments, botn iv number and variety, for Mac realized that the Dro posed scheme was "all-tired risky." Mrs. Mac, however, was soon openly championing the opposition, and of such a conflict there could be but one re sult. The clock was striking midnight when the lady tucked the note into the old stove. Kelly promised to go to town for the money on the morrow, and < to bring it and take away his property at 4 o'clock the uiorniug after, .ill. i But when three nttn make a pie let not two think to eat it unmolested. When McDouglald opened the stable doi>rin the dim twilight of . that March morning ami Kelly pushed ahead to Hecate his prize, they suddenly turned ami Jooked at each other with wild «yes. There .was an ominous vacuity before ithenV— the stall was empty, the mare was tone. It aid not take Ions: to find out where. Ayer had cot wind of the proceedings, ■aiid..-thinkiu? it well to be on the safe side, 'had sent his boy late the evening befofe, who had brought away the filly ■ unslght and unseen. During the rumpus thai followed she was further spirited off to a neighboring horse fair, and she newt came back. j Of the four persons concerned in this iraUi£r extraordinary transanction Mrs. ."MclJoueald secured, perhaps, the mo?t .valuable result— a tiny strain of humility Ayetcame next with $223. He will tell you with a smile that fifty-five repre sents his advance, meaning to pay his note like an honest man when it is pre sented ; but since that cannot be until the last trump levies upon sea and land he will probably have the use of the purchase money for some time. Kelly won a treat deal of ridicule and the lasting enmity of the McDou^alds; and Mac himself, who had shown such ex traordinary ability in netting rid of the finest mare in Billings county— Mac was by neighborhood insoiration presented with the title of j udtre. i " Theodora W.

Railroad Presidents Combine to End the Free Ticket System. Meeting: Called for Tuesday at Which the Big Guns Will Act. Eastern Roads Are in Line With the Western on the Subject. Chairman Walker's Latest Order Creates Dissatis faction. Chicago, Nov. 28.— The indications are that there will be a notable gather ing of railroad magnates in tins city next Tuesday. The movement to re- : strict the issuing of free transportation has been taken up by the highest offi cers of the roads, ami instead of leaving the settlement of the ques tion to their general passenger agents they have decided to come to gether themselves and endeavor to adopt an agreement that will practically abolish the pass system. A call lor the meeting has been issued. It is signed by Presidents Marvin Ilughitt, of the Northwestern; Rosewell Miller, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; Vice Presidents .1. C. McMullin, ot the Alton; George B. Harris, of the Bur lington, and Welling, of the Illinois Central. It has been sent under cover to the presidents or managing officers of all the large railroads iii the United States, several of whom have already signified their intention of. being present. There is reason to believe that .lay Gould, Chauncey M. Depew, Collis P. iluntington, George B. Kob erts, M. E. lngails and many others of similar rank will respond to the call. Although the Western roads took the lead in this matter, the Eastern lines have joined heartily in the movement. The meeting is to be under the auspices of the Western Traffic association, and the object is to limit the issuance of passes to such an extent that they can only be given in exchange for advertising or services actually rendered. As railroad officers seem to be unanimously of the opinion that the pass system has become a great nuisance, there is little doubt that the meeting will be a harmonious one and that it will result in an ironclad agree ment. . WILL, THEY OBEY? Chairman Walker's Latest Order Creates Dissatisfaction. Chicago, Nov. 28.— 1t remains to be seen whether the transcontinental lines will obey the order of Chairman Wal ker, of the Western Traffic associa tion, limiting commissions on emi grant tickets to 13 from Chi cago and $2 from the Missouri river to California. Some of them make no attempt to conceal their dissatisfac tion, and declare that if the order is obeyed it will shut them out of Castle Garden entirely and give all the busi ness to lines outside of the association. This they admit may be avoided to some extent it their Eastern connections will enter into some arrangement to divide the business so that they can get a share of it. The order is one that puts the strength of the association and the power of the commissioners to a severe test. : Struck by an Old Blast. ; \ , Bei.videre, N.
