Utter Lack of Resisting Power in the Markets Declines Range From Two to Over Six Points. NEW TORK. Dec. 12. The speculative de mand for stocks seemed to be completely par alyzed today, and confidence entirely departed from all of those who were such eager buyers up to a week ago ot prices far above those pre vailing today. The feeling of doubt spread more and more to holders of stocks during the course of today's market, and the pressure to soil long stocks steadily Increased. The only buyers in evidence were those who had first sold, mostly bear operators; who went short Of the market, and then bought to cover at the Inviting profits. Buying of this character caused occasional feverish rallies from the vio lent declines, but the selling was constantly renewed on the rallies, and the foil touched new low levels at each renewal. The range of the declines compared respectably with those on last Thursday's panicky break, but there was far less resilience to the market. The prices hardly got as low today as the low prices Thursday, but owing to the violent re coveries en that day and the weakness of to day at the lowest prices, the range of values is substantially lower tonight than it was on last Thursday night. The most striking feature In today's market was the utter lack of resisting power in the market. It only needed a slight increase in the rate of activity to start prices precipi tately downward. Changes in the conditions of the properties affected or In the general conditions of finance, commerce and industry were not suggested Vby any ot the leading sellers. Money on call lent down to 2 per cent In the late market, and pressure for funds did not seem to be the motive for sell ing any stocks. The comparative Immunity of the high-grade investment bonds from weak ness was an evidence of this, as bonds of that clacs are almost Invariably brought to market In any real emergency for call money. There can be no dispute that the enormous prestige acquired by the loudly proclaimed leadership ot last week on the stock market gave power to the renewal ot the same mthods today and causd widespread timidity. Last week's quick recover aroused distrust. In view of the demonstrated Inability of prices at the height to which they had been lifted by the Injudicious speculation which produced the break. To attempt an Immediate restora tion of this level was regarded as an indis creet speculative enterprise, and this had much influence in cutting short the buying for a further rise. There was an expectation again that the Northern Securities decision was imminent, and this helped to depress stocks, notwith standing the effective use that has been made of it on former occasions to boom the mar ket. There was revived discussion also of the unsettlement of values threatened by the ef fort to establish Federal control of railroad rates. The heavy fall In values of November exports of agricultural products, reaching $17, 727,696 for all products, was a minor cause of depression, especially with a renewed advance In the price of sterling exchange, and the mooted question of a further export of 'gold. The wintry weather suggested railroad block ades, but weekly traffic reports from officials were In the recently prevolllng cheerful tone, and decided expansion In the belated mov ment of corn to market was reported. Prices on the curb were as violently disturbed as on the exchange. Copper in that market reveal ing the break in Amalgamated Copper on the exchange. Tho day's losses in stocks of all classes, including standard railroad and Indus trial properties, runs all the way from 2 to over 6 points. The tone at the closing was as weak as at any time during the day. Bonds were weak. In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $5,340,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

PORTLAND. Dec. 12.-To the Edltor.)-The Oregon Prisoners' ' Aid Society finds if neces sary to make a- direct appeal to the' public for funds to carry on Its work, and the sum of $345 Is necessary to provide for the expenses of the society "until March. 19C5. With the Winter before us, .and the usual. scarcity cr worjt at this season of the year, the organization feels justified In asking for aid. When It Is remembered that each man dis charged from. the prison at the expiration of his term, receives In' addition to a suit ol clothes, but $3 In cash, every thoughtful per son will readily understand the necessity for some help to tide over the time between re lease and finding work. Unless the man walks to Portland, he has such a small sum left that unless he has friends, or finds work Im mediately, or Is assisted by the clety, he quickly drifts back into the hands of the police. The Oregon Prisoners' Aid Society helps the man to regain his place In society by financial assistance In payment of lodging, board, clothes, tools, transportation, and lest, but not least counsel and encouragement. A man who has been In prison for any length of time Is. upon his discharge, helpless nnd bewildered, out of touch with the busy world about him. The eoclety feels that it is cheaper to care for him until his readjustment Is an assured fact, than It Is to let him clip back Into evil ways. It is estimated by criminologists that the ar rest, trial and Imprisonment of the average criminal coats society $5000. This sum 13 about four times as much as It costs to main tain the Oregon rrisoncna' Aid Society for one year. Out of a total of 43 men assisted, so far as known, but four have gone back to their old criminal habits. In addition to helping the discharged men. the society maintains a superintendent, who in the prison keeps in constant touch with the men. and through" this personal relation is able to determine who Is sincere In his de sire to reform. E. W. St Pierre, who has been tho superintendent elnce the organization of the society. Is a man peculiarly fitted for this work, and through the courtesy of the officers of the prison has access to the men at all times. The work is strongly Indorsed by Governor Chamberlain and Superintendent James, and on the executive board are J. D. Lee. ex-Superintendent of tho prison: Judge A. F. Sears, of the Circuit Court and Judge Hogue, of the Municipal Court. The society, through Its committees, keeps Informed as to modem methods, and bills arc being prepared looking toward a more humane system of dealing with our criminal population. The committee on indeterminate sentence and parole law consists of Dr. S. S. Wise, J. D. Lee. J. N. Strong. Judge Sears and Superintendent James. The committee on Juvenile court is composed of Judge Hcgue, W. T. Gardner, Mrs. B. H. Trumbull. The society must have $345 for its-work be tween now and March, 1905. The various churches will be asked to present the work and gather offerings for It on Christmas Sunday. Individual contributions arc solicited, and may be sent to the president Rev. W. S.

Owing to Light Receipts Northern Apples Arrive Freely, but Are Well Taken Care Of. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 12. (Special.) Rainy weather caused dullness In most lines of farm products. Receipts of potatoes from the river districts were larger and mostly composed ot low-grade stock, which dragged at heavy priccs. Fancy Salinas and Oregon Burbanks were in light supply and good demand at the highest quotations. Five carloads of sweets arrived, causing a lower range of prices. Fancy Oregon and California onions were firm at the recent advance, with first-hand stocks closely cleaned up. Receipts of garden vegetables from Southorn California were liberal, but choice offerings sell readily at sustained prices. Freshly arrived dresced turkeys are in good demand up to 25c Larger stocks left over from Thanksgiving are In cold storage, await ing an opportunity for unloading. The cold wet weather checked business In 'fruits. Four carloads ot apples arrived from the North, but were well taken care of, and the market will probably do better unless re ceipts again become heavy. Oranges are ar riving freely and accumulating in stores.. The demand Is very moderate and prices weak for ordinary Offerings. Other citrus frulta are easy. The grain markot was a shade lower for futures, owing to rain and easiness In Chi cago, but spot prices ot all cereals were quite ( steady; Fancy creamery' butter is temporarily scarce, and ' prices had a further advance.

BEARISH SENTLMENT IN PIT. Wheat Market Fnctorn Tend Toward Lower Prices. CHICAGO. Dec. 12. Extreme weakness was manifested In the wheat market at the opening. Initial quotations on May were down He to Tic at $1.004 to $1.10. Sev eral elements tended to create bearish senti ment One of the factors was the largeness of tho world's shipments, especially tho lib eral lot from Russia. Another Influence was the snow that had fallen on the drouth stricken fields of the Southwest Tho lead ing cause of the opening weakness was the remarkably large receipts from the North west arrivals today being nearly double thoae of tho corresponding day a year ago. From the start there wa3 fair scattered sell ing. The market lacked any good support As a rosult. additional weakness developed. May selling off to $1.09 1.00H- Through out tho day the market here was affected by the weakness of Northwestern markets, prices at Duluth and Minneapolis being down 1 to 2 cents. Dullness in the flour trade was one reason assigned for the weak ness in tho Northwest A temporary rise to $1.10&1.10tt to $1.10U. was made toward the middle ot the session on covering by shorts, who were apparently surprised at the comparatively small Increase in the vis ible supply. The market, however, soon turned weak again. May declining to $1.00. A heavy tone prevailed throughout the re mainder of the day, final quotations on May being at $ 1.08 i 1.0S a decline of lit? X. Considering' tho weakness of wheat the corn market held remarkably firm through-" out the entire session. May closed He higher at 44c. Oats were Arm. May closed He up at 30Hc Early In the day the provision market was weak, owing to, large receipts of hogs at the yards.
