CLOSING PRICES OF BOSTON STOCKS
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

frluaV, Dec. sup m.
Every department OF tho Stock Exchange
market was affected by the fact that il was really
the last business day of the year There was
general clearing up Of contracts on both sides Of
the account. Small bulls were content in takinz
small profits ard a lingering shcrt interest was
closed. In anticipation OF a serious disturbance
of loans rates for call money were advanced to
0 per cent, and : per cent WAS the ruling rate
Tie hOuse-C leaning was so thorough that ship
ment Of 100000 gold was made on an order
more than week old. 1t was not justified by
the present rates OF exchange, and, perhaps, the
transaction resulted in loss. In any event, il
was devoid Of meaning IL is possible. OF
course, that the ease Of money wlich Is expected
to follow the turn Of the year may encourage
further exports of gold, but on the other hand
the resumption of business in London may be
attended with a fresh demand for American
securities The foreign markets have been closed
for q week. SO far our securities are concerneds
In the circumstances IL was not surprising
that the stock market was somewhat lrregulsr
The opening was strong. ana IN many eases @ tae
