KEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Oencrnl and Pronounced Collapse FVom the Recent Firm Undertone. JEW TORK, Jan. 23. The stock market was most barren of any well-defined issues bearing on prices of securities, as for several days past. Nevertheless there was a general and quite pronounced collapse from the firmness which has been characteristic of the undertone or the market for several days past. The re action took Its initiative from the European courses. The foreign selling here was In very considerable volume, and was accompanied -by rumors of new disasters to the British, military forces in South Africa. The denial of kthese reports failed to check tne reactionary tend ency. The decline caused the taking of profits "by speculators who have held through several days of rising prices and were weary- of wait ing for further advances. The halt In the advancing- tendency also en couraged the putting out of short lines by the professional bears. Even allowing for all of these professional movements, the volume of the dealings on the dachne was of rather Im pressive proportions, and the losses sustained especially by the leading international stocks, were quite severe. Only a few of them escaped with less than 1 point loss, and in others it extends to nearly 2 points. In some of the prominent speculative specialties the losses are even greater. Sugar, Brooklyn Transit, To "bacco. Leather, People's Gas and some of the Iron and steel stocks were notable sufferers. Consolidated Gas. Metropolitan Street Railway, Third Avenue and Manhattan all showing early strength, yielded to the later weakness, the gains being entirely wiped out. There came a halt to the decline early in the afternoon with a demand of the shorts to cover, but the selling was renewed before the close, which was at the lowest of the day. The board-room traders expect to get their stocks hack in London in the morning at -a profit. There was no quotable change In money rates today, but the tone of the market was a trifle firmer, and sterling exchange Also rallied a fraction. h The addJUontofthe .New Tork bank reserves FINANCIAL NEWS was believed to show somt falling oft from the recent large rate of Increase. , Prices In the bond market started upward In the morning, but reacted quite sharply, in sym pathy with stocks, during the afternoon, bonds which resisted the decline twine the exception. This development was attributed to the les sened accumulation of unemployed funds. The total sales were, $2,090,000.

The Commercial Ad vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets hero were becalmed and dull to day. In the absence of definite news from. Af rica, and reports from Paris of the capture by the Boers of a large part of General "Warren's forces. These reports were thoroughly discred ited, but made some Impression for a time, be cause they were accompanied by a heavy fall In Band mines. This decline, It was learned later,, was due to exercloe of a large option. Americans were forgotten, dealers in them standing around idle all day, wondering why New York sold. The bank bought 12,000 in German coin, and 15,000 arrived from South Africa, probably Boer payments. Tomorrow's bill allotment Is awaited as a clew to possible gold shlprrents to India.

May wheat opened ?c under yesterday's close, at 6600c, actuated by an initial decline at Liverpool of d. The dip was only momentary, as the English mar ket steadied early, and Paris showed another advance. -Trade was active, foreigners and local people were good buyers, and traders covered lines let out early. May advanced to 07c. where for some time the market ruled firm but rather dull. Later a spasm of profit-taking depressed the price of May to 66?836c, but a sharp recovery followed, as outside markets were firm. The Northwest was a. good buyer at this stage of the session.

In the wars of the beginning of the century people at home heard of victory or defeat pretty quickly, but always from sources more or less official, and as regards results exceedingly accurate. The total loss In killed and wounded was also known, but details, except as regarded very great per sonages, straggled home slowly, very much as they now straggle to Boer villages and farmhouses. The general effect of the news, therefore, was but little broken )rito fragments, and the people judged results very much as historians do, Instead of judging them, as at present, like members of a family, who have suddenly, heard of a calamity befalling their own klnsfqlk. There was little opportunity of criticising generals', and none of watching individual officers, both of whom were therefore left free to pursue their own plans and do the best they could with the means avail able. Y.nmcvotet-wKallasmen mht mht mht h Today all this is changed. Our generals fight under showers of detailed criticism, and our officers hear the shouts of the people almost as clearly as the roar of the batteries. It Is almost impossible for generals to feel Independent, or for offi cers to forget that millions of eyes are following them, and that if they are reck lessly daring millions of voices will ap plaud. Correspondents by the half-dozen are present in all camps. The smallest "moves are reported as soon as made. The cables so annihilate distance that news even two dayg old is considered belated, while the competition among journals is so fierce that nothing reaches the public except in most misleading snippets. a p i CATTLE ON BICYCLE PATHS Wheelman Offers Suggestions ,tp Remedy the Evil. l PORTLAND, Jan. 22. (To the Editor.) As a wheelman who has paid his bicycle tax and is willing to pay it for years to come, in order to assist In securing good paths, I desire to register a kick about the manner in which the paths are being used by 'persons who pay nothing toward their maintenance, especially on the Section X.lne road. Sunday morning, four others and myself rode 'out to the 12-mlle house, and we were very much annoyed going out and coming in by the horses and cows which, like bad populists, Tvould not stay in the middle of the road, but would stand right on the path. We also witnessed a young man driving seven cows along the road and allowing them to line up on the path. This Is a practice that will make any wheelman disgusted and cause him to feel that the bicycle path Is a good thing for the path contractors, but not lor those tliat ride wheels. It seems to me that something might be done In the way of protecting the paths, and if it is attended to now, there will be much less expense incurred In repair ing them wherr the season opens. I would offer, as a suggestion, that the county commissioners consider the matter of plac ing patrolmen, who ride wheels, on the paths. They could look up the owners of f the stock and report to the, proper authori ties; that Is, If tlie path fund is, not? ex hausted. The money might just as well be expended In this manner as to go over the paths again in spring when the season opens, and virtually do the same work over again. It will be appreciated by 'all wheelmen If a stringent law Is enacted at the next session of the legislature requiring peoplo to keep their stock off the paths. Then, perhaps, after a few arrests have heen made and fines have been Imposed, the owners of stock will arrive at the"conclu slon that the -pasture on the outside of their fences'" is very expensive. W. H. B. QngUsli Rhymes to Eorelgn Words. f Notes and Queries. Byron rhymes robe de chamber with am ber, empressement with chessmen, the Lat in male' with gayly, and entombus with domos After these specimens no one will bo surprised to find In Pope, the most correct of writers, as a rule A frugal mouse upon the whole, Yet lpved his friend and had a soul. Knew what vas handsome and would do It, On Just occasion, coute qui coute. Or again The guests withdrawn had left the treat, And down the mice sat tete-a-tete. Our courtier walks from" dish to dish, Tastea for his friends of fowl arid fish; Tells all the names, lay down the law, "Que ca est bon! Ah, goutes ca!" j But perhaps Popewas only ridiculing1 the pronunciation of French that he heard in the society of his day. As will be obvious from the above, neith er the author of "Hudibras" nor Byron appears to have had any qualms about pronouncing Latin in what is called tno English fashion.
