OF UNI
THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Review.
New York, Dec, 13. The market
yielded to demoralization during the
latter part of the day nnd stocks were
thrown over wholesale on tho down
grade. Prices went below tho low
'point of Monday nil around and the
market closed In a highly excited con
dition. The few rallies that were ef
fected were due to the hasty taking
of profits by the bears, which were
suniclcntly attractive on the day to In
duce the closing out of short accounts
by the professional operntois, who per
sistently sold tho market at the higher
level. Tho market made some head
way against the depression during the
early dealings nnd at one Time hud
very largely overcome the opening
losses, which were reflections from
the foreign exchanges. The weakness
abroad was duo to the growing seri
ousness of the sltuntion of the British
campaign In South Africa. London
was a very heavy seller In tho New
York market, but Its offeilngs seemed
to be pretty well nbsorbed. The grang
ers rose notably above last night's
level and sugar and nrooklyn Itapld
Transit nlso made conspicuous pro
gress towards recovery from the re
cent depression. Hut during the later
part of the day the operators In stock
shut theli eyes to everything but
gloomy apprehensions over the future
Tho violent Jump In sterling ex
change intes both heie and at other
points made it sulllrlently evident that
London was the real seat of trouble,
and npprehenslon was expiessed of
future dllllcultles there. Total sales
today, 1.071.6U0 shares.
Honds went off sharply In the late
dealings, but declines were relatively
small compared with those In stocks.
Totnl sales par value, $1,759,000. Unit
ed States fis advanced In the bid
price.

JONAS LONG'S SONS' STORE NEWS
Christmas and Prices.
Three splendid examples of our price-lowness became manifest yesterday and all referred to
holiday things.
We repeat the remarks for your benefit:
"Only $1.10 for Ben Hur," said one l.idy, "why it's a dollar and a half in other stores" and
she bought it.
1 his Irom a man: "Your price on that rocking horse is $3.25, you say? Why, they wanted
five dollars for the same thing where I came from" and the horse went away with the nun.
Another man men are pretty good judges on some things and this concerning a silver toilet
set: "Aren't you mistaken in the price of this set?" he remarked. "I saw one just like it in another
store marked fifteen dollars, and your price is $12 I'll take it."
And so it goes.
You'll find this a very inexpensive holiday store and qualities faultless no matter what you
buy. If not so your money back.
The Toy Store
is very, very busy. No need to

BASEMCNT.
Silver Novelties.
Ebony is much in favor, but
to be correct it needs to be gar
nished with silver. So jou see
many pretty things in ebony
here, with fancy silver trim
mings. And the sterling things, too,
attract much attention. There
arc darners, blotters, shoe horns
and hooks, cuticles, paper knives
