The stock market was active SO far as bid

board being covered with figures giving quota

noon dwindled to nothing.
The close of the year left bank stocks con-

stocks, owing to the many disastrous fires. were
rather slow and weak throughout the year. and
closed with a very slight improvement to their

shortages at the beginning of winter had a de-

the year materially lower than at the begin
ming. Other speculative shares also lost
ground.
The market closed year ago yesterday amid
q BABEL of noise and confusion. Fun and
frolic reigned supreme Scarcely a broker
went away with whole suit of clothes. Hats
were smashed, coats were torn, and the room
covered with water and sawdust. Yesterday.

The Year Oil

Trading in petroleum the past year was char
acterized, for the most part, by extreme dull
ness and depression. Various expedients were
resorted to to revive interest in the commodity,
but without success, as outsiders could not be
induced TO operate. The adverse influences
were manipulation, the uncertainty of the out
come of the Ohio product, and Russian compe-
tition in the foreign markets. Many are of the
opinion that American oil will soon disappear
as an article of speculation. The clearances
for the wear. bY months are annanded.
