Tunkhnnnuck, Dec. 5. J. A. aalleU,
president of tho Empire State Con
struction company, of Olean, N. Y.,
und K. MacKenzle, contractor ami
builder for this company, are In town
to make arrangements for the erection
of the new canning factory. Mr. Oal
lets and Mr. -MnoKenzle are both of
the opinion that the Nicholson lot
which was selected by the location
committee Is not na desirable a. site
as the committee seemed to think and
are endeavoring to get the stockholders
to' agree to change the location to the
lot adjoining the electric light plant.
Messrs. Burnette and Emmons, who
are associated with Mr, Outlets In tho
business and who solicited the sub
scriptions tor stock, were members of
the committee on site and were so
pleased with the Nicholson lot that
they closed a contract with Attorney
('. O. Dershlmer for It before they left
town. Tho chief objections to this lo
cation seem to be the price $S00 and
that the surface of the ground Is soma
six or eight Inches below the level
of the railroad track. They also claim
the lot Is not lurgp enough. The other
piece of ground suggested will cost NiO
company nothing and Is plenty large
enough nnd on tho lino of the Mont

of the stockholders, however, Is In fa
vor of tho Nicholson lot.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Dec. 5. Today's event In
tho stock market brought additional
discouragement to those who had bee.i
uttemptlng to maintain advance prices
of securities. Liquidation was the or-
der of the day and caught orders that
have wnited for weeks on deferred
hop?s of the situation clearing up. Tho
weakness was most apparent In the In
dustrials nnd specialties, but the rail
road stocks were very generally sold.
There was some buying of stocks last
week on tho presumption of specu
lative professionals that the president's
message was to bo a bullish document
and ItH publication today brought
profit-taking from those sources In the
natural order of events. The para
graphs of tho message bearing on th-j
subject of Industrial combinations was
thf ground for the special weakness In
tha Industrials. Quite a number of
theso securities are from 1 to C points
lower on the day. A single lot of Unit .hI
States milling preferred sold nt 12
against 22! on the last preceding sal".
But the principal lnlluer.ee In tho weak
ness was tho money situation. Th"
spasmodic character of the selling and
the exceedingly dullness of the Inter
vening periods rellectcd tho operation
of loan contraction by the banks, tho
successive calling of loans throwing
blocks of securities upon the market,
which found no support awaiting them.
There were come slight signs of firm
ness In the early dealings, especially In
Sugar nnd some of the railroad stocks.
The trunk lines remained comparative
ly firm throughout, but the slight evi
dences of strength elsewhere gave way
to the general tide of weakness. Call
money reached 8 per cent, early In tho
day and receded to G before the clo.e,
but the easing of the rate did not brln?
any strength to stocks, In view of the
general outlook. The closing of tho
stock market was generally easy nnd
near tho low point. Total sales today.
D02.700 shares.
Prices of bonds declined In sympathy
with stocks. Total sales par value, $1,-200,000.
