ON THE DOWN GRADE Adverse Humors Took Away Strength in Wall-Street Stocks' Few Shares Failed to Give Way to the General Depression Some Deinaud for Indianapolis Oats. At New York, yesterday, money on call was easy at 1ft lVj Per cent., the last loan bing" at 1, closing at 1 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, Z'iZz per cent. Sterling exchange was dull, with actual business in bankers bills at $l.83UTi4.S5?4 for demand and $4,8314.83 for sixty days; posted rates, $4.814.87; commercial bills, Silver certificates, C3'H,c bid. Bar silver closed at 6&2c per ounce; at London, SJ-'ftd. Total sales of stocks yesterday amounted to 202,700 shares. Yesterday was a day of rumors and denials of rumors on the Stock Kxchange. The short interest had covered the greater part of its contracts, and the higher range of values established at the close of business Thursday night encouraged the professional bears to an attack on the market. True to the traditions of their class, they brought to their aid false reports and unfounded rumors, and the officials of the properties affected by these weapons were kept busy denying the statements put forth as a means of depressing prices. It was said that at a meeting of directors of the Missouri Pacific held yesterday steps would be taken looking to the appointment of W. S. Pierce, general attorney for the corporation, as receiver. President George Gould promptly denied the story, saying that while the company's earnings had decreased in common with all the other roads of the company, it was earning it3 interest charges, and he added that the February coupons would be paid at once, less 6 per cent, interest, to any doubting bondholder. A free selling movement was the result of the circulation of the rumor and the publication of the December report showing a heavy decrease in earnings, and the stock lost 2. with a rally in the late dealings of 4 per cent. The rumor that Ixvaisville & Nashville would pass- its semi-annual dividend was revived in connection with the publication of the December report, which showed a loss of over yuo.000. The stock rose to 44, and then took a plunge to 418. with scarcely a rally. A director of the company gave out the statement that the dividend question had not been discussed by the board, but the street has become imbued with the belief that no dividend will be declared, and though a rally of 1& was made by covering by timid shorts, a reaction of took Place in the ilnal dealings, making a loss of 2Vz on the day. London was a seller of the shares In. small lots. Chicago. Burlington Qulncy was also the victim of speculative Imagination, It being reported that the company had arranged to negotiate a 5-percent, loan abroad. Denials were made at the company's office in Boston and In this city, but after an advance of X'2 made in the early dealings the shares declined 18 Ier cent., with only a rally of Vx at th close. The other granger stocks fluctuated within narrower limits. Kussell Sage denied the rumor that he and President McLeod. of New England, had quarreled, and took occasion to commend that gentleman's management of the road. Western Union was actively traded In. Sugar was by no means neglected, but there was not the accustomed animation in the trading in this stock, the unsettled condition of tariff affairs rendering both sides cautious. It is reported that the Delaware & Hudson company will offer to stockholders the right to subscribe at par for stock to retire some four and a half million dollars of bonds. The general market was firm at the open iiS on fractional changes and moved upward. Durinsr the first half hour there came some sharp selling, in which the early Improvement was lost and a lower range of values established. A partial recovery occurred after 11 o'clock, but the speculation quickly became heavy again and held on the downward grade until after 1 o'clock. Then came a slight rally, but the market was too dull for any material improvement, and in these late dealings prices sagged off again, the market closing weak and inactive with a majority of the shares lower than on yesterday, the range being 'iftS'o per cent. Kvansville & Terre Haute sold at 5o, against 48, the previous sale. American Tobacco advanced 3, and New York, Chicago & St. Loyis seconds pre f erred 2 per cent. The railway and miscellaneous bond market was strong throughout the day, and most of the securities traded in recorded an advance. Government bonds were firmer. State bonds were inaciive.

Brad st reefs financial review to-day will pay: The year 1S33 closed, as far as speculation Is concerned, with an unpromising tone, and the resumption of business on last Tuesday was altogether kicking in the qualities which the beginning of a new year is expected to communicate to speculation. The latter portion of the week h;;., however, wltr.evsed a change for the better, with a marked recovery in stock prices and a slight, though sufficiently distinct revival of helpfulness. Pears of disasters of considerable importance seem to have cen the occasion, for the weakness and

despondency which accompanied the turn of the year, and the fact that the troubles which were supposed to be Impending turned out to be really of Insignificant character, furnished the basis for the subsequent Improvement. Trading has been, and continue: to be, almost entirely professional, outside participation being as narrow as ever, while the usual demand for reinvestment of January Income Is noticeably absent. The improvement of the past three days may, however, have been somewhat assisted by a reassertion of courage on the part of investors, the street being convinced that the plethora of money, and the exceedingly lowaverage of values cannot fail to create a demand for stocks on the part of such Interests. In addition to this speculative sentiment appears to be influenced more or less by the belief that railroad earnings have reached their minimum, and that Improvement In that respect, as well as in general business, cannot be longer delayed, and that the market Is prepared to discount any manifestations of this character, hewever slight. LOCAL GIIAIX AND PIIODLCC.

Trnde Hntlier Quiet ivith Few C'linngen In Value Yestenlny. Thus far thi3 year trade has been something of an Improvement over the latter part of December, but by no means what the wholesale men would like to see. Hopes are entertained of better things next week, as money Is more plentiful nd the retail merchants are meeting with fair success In -collecting bills, all things considered. In prices there were no important changes. Indications are to spring prices for eggs. Butter I3 already down to that point. Some choice apples arrived yesterday from New York, and met with fair sale at luxury prices. Vegetables are selling slow and prices easy. In the grocery line there is nothing new to note. The local grain market is dull, oats being the only cereal for which there is really a good demand. Corn rules st?adv at Thursday's bids.

Statement Made by the Clerk and Submitted to Residents. At the Town Board meeting of West Indianapolis last Tuesday evening the large number of citizens present demanded that the clerk and treasurer be Instructed to rrake a statement showing the exact figures of the town's indebtedness. At the meeting it was estimated that the sum of $20,000 ould just about put the town in working order. The statement since prepared by the clerk and treasurer shows that the exact indebtedness of the town up to Jan. 1 is $53,890.96. The estimated expenses of the tewn for the present year un to July 13 will raise the amount to $S3,S21.91. The town expects to raise ?5,M0 from all resources by the middle of Julv, and if th$20,000 of bonds are issued, all bills and debts can be paid and a balance of nearly $1,000 will be left In the treasury. The present bonded debt of the town is $44,0to, and with the $20,0o, the total landed debt will be within $3,000 of the amount that can at the utmost be legally issued by the board. The law allows 2 per cent, of the total amount of taxable property to be issued in bonds, and the taxable property in West IrdLinapolis amounts to $3,50.0ij0, not including the much disputed increased assessment of railroad property. This statement is being submitted to all the property owners, as the issuing of the bonds rests with their decision. INDIANA REE-KEEPERS. Various Subjects Discussed and New OHicers Elected.

ALL MARKETS LOWER

Smaller Decrease in Stocks than Expected Caused the Slump. Wheat Lost an Even Cent, While Corn and Oats Followed with Fractional DeclinesProvisions Down. CHICAGO, Jan. 5. Wheat was irregular to-day, and after sharp fluctuations closed ftc lower on a smaller decrease in flour stocks than expected, smaller export clearances and rather free selling after May had gone up to 67c. Corn is c lower, oats c lower and provisions closed weak after sharp fluctuations. Wheat opened easier, with May He lower at 6Gc on offerings at the start. Light receipts, higher cables and rather free buying by Bloom and others, however, firmed up the market, and May scored a substantial advance, reaching 67c. Operators were somewhat disappointed at the contradictory reports in regard to the stock of flour in some of the principal markets In the United States. Yesterday's postings by the secretary of the Roard of Trade made the figures show a decrease of about 235,000 brls during the month of December, but, It seems, there was some error In compilation, and that the actual decrease was only about 26,000 brla. As the buying yesterday was based, to a consderable extent, on the large decrease mentioned, the selling to-day waa influenced some by the contradiction. With this disappointing feature, the market began to decline. The clearances were smaller and also had the effect of creating an easier feeling. The aggregate clearances of wheat and flour were 195,000 bu, of which 1 17,00!) bu was flour. The selling became liberal and the decline was not stopped until prices had dropped lftc. Closing cables came Arm at higher quotations and ended the slump, but the market was weak at the close, and May rounded up but ftc above the . bottom figures of the day. It opened at CC'ic advanced ftc, then ftc, dropped lftc and reacted ftc, to close at Corn was lower In sympathy with wheat, and followed the latter in its fluctuations. Receipts were heavy; estimates for to-morrow also aided in the decline. May opened ftc off at 3S?sC. and after gaining ftc, reacted c to close, at 3Sftc at the bottom figures of the day. Prices in oats fluctuated entirely in sympathy with the larger cereals. Demand was light and sellers were numerus. May opened ftc lower at 30ftc, advanced &c and then declined c. The close was at 30c, the bottom figure. Provisions were in the main firm. Hog receipts exceeded the estimate, but this was offset by small estimates for to-morrow. There was some buying by outsiders which caused a moderate advance in prices, but the closing slump of wheat and corn caused a sharp reaction and a lower close all around. Compared wdth last night May pork Is 7ftc lower, May lard .02ftc lower and May ribs .02ftc lower. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 55 cars; corn, 425 cars; oats, 170 cars; hogs, 20,000.

Wheat changed lower and, after an advance of c, prices weakened and the close was ftc lower than yesterday. There was a fair amount of business in futures, with most of the transactions in May wheat. Receipts were smaller, amounting to only 163 cars with 27 cars shipped. Demand was good for track wheat and most of the sales were about ftc below the May prices. Considerable was sold to arrive at 61ftc early and later the sales fell in price to 61c for No. 1 rthern; No. 2 Northern sold mostly at 59fti COc; May opened at 614c. advanced to 62c and closed at 61c; July opened at and closed at 63c.

Give Interesting: Compilation of Percentages on the Industrial Depression of 1893. NEW YORK, Jan. 5. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The final classified returns of failures for 1S93 are not yet complete, but the report received from the latter part of December have swelled the aggregate of commercial liabilities to $338,493,4C1, of which $1C7,543,9S5 are of manufacturing failures, $123,716,960 of trading failures and $47,230,516 of other concerns. Complete returns wdll be given, it is hoped, next we3k. For the past week the failures reported have been 511 in the United tSates, against 323 lasti year, and forty-one In Canada, against seventeen last year. The classified liabilities In failures reported for the week ending Dec. 23 amount to $3,099,S49, of which $2,233,844 were in manufacturing and $2,703,919 in trading failures. Deferred returns also swell tha liabilities for the previous week to $9,0S1,930, in 319 failures. It is questionable whether the working forces' in tbe great industries has Increased as yet, though about the first of the yea considerable increase is expected. Th number of mills starting and stopping wgrk is about the same. Sales of wool for the week amount to only 2,431,800 pounds, against 4,453,200 for the corresponding week last year, and since May 1 the decrease has been 49.6 per cent. Prices are somewhat weaker and few works report satisfactory orders. Prices of cotton goods are further i educed to encourage purchases. Most-of the shoe shops are moderately employed and the decrease in, shipments for the week is 17 per cent, against 20 per cent, for the last seven months of 1S93. Still lower prices are recorded in iron and steel, both at rhladelphia and Pittsburg, without increase In volume of busiress. It is believed that the output of pig, though 40 per cent, less than a year ago, exceeds the present consumption. The volume of business represented by exchmges outside New York Is 18.2 percent, less than for the Fame week last year. Regarding the extent of decrease in various branches of business during the last half of 1893, actual sales have been reported by 1.117 houses or companies, aggregating $213,409,C24 this year, against $304,400,103 in the same months last year, a decreashe of 29.7 per cent. In the textile manufactures the decrease is 41 per cent, over 47 per cent In all woolens, 43 per cent in silk, and' 37.1 per cent in cotton manufactures, 29.2 per cent In hosiery, and 25.G In mixed textiles. In dry goods the sales decreased only 19.2 per cent, stocks previously held having been much reduced. The reported decrease la sales of clothing Is only 12.3 per cent; in iron and steel manufacture, the decrease is 39.8 per cent; in hardware, only 18.5 per cent: In boots and shoes manufacture the decrease is 16.6 per cent, but in the retail trade only 11. S per cent. The decrease In furniture is 27.2 per cent. In jewelry 24.8 per cent, and in sales of hats only 18.6 per cent It is an interesting and an encouraging fact that sales of groceries are slightly larger than last year, though a little less at the East and West, but greater at the South. The'fact that in most branches the decrease appears smaller at the West than at the East and smaller at the South than at the West is one curious result of this novel investigation. Ilnuleitreet'n Trade Ilevieir. NEW YORK, Jan. 5. Bradstreefs tomorrow will say: General trade throughout the country has bsen of somewhat smaller volume than last week, an indication of its character being found in a report from Chicago that small mail orders 6onstitute the bulk of the wholesale business. Stock taking Is also a feature, but the return of commercial travelers to the road 13 reported from nearly all points. Prices for iron and steel are declared to have been still further shaded at Eastern centers since the beginning of the year, and while there has been no further depression In wool prices, concssslons ar to be obtained on orders to buy. Resumptions of work in Industrial lines are very numerous, more than twice as many factories and mills having started up within the week as have shut down, but reductions of wages in industrial lines continue very numerous in establishments which remain at work. Woolen milH are doing a hand-to-mouth business on orders, and Interest In the cotton market Is centered on receipts, which have b?gun to fall oft rapidly, although still ahead of last year. The low cotton crop estimates call for a further shrinkage of receipts. Eastern dry goods jobbers are preparing for spring movement by odtring supplies, while agents have begun to get gooas forward. A feature at Chicago has besn heavy increase of bank deposits and noteworthy purchases of bonds. A DIVIDEND PAYER! The Gold Dollar Mining Gompany CF CRIPPLE CREEK, COLORADO.
