FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Now York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Business was
more active at the stock exchange
to-day, but the activity was at the ex-
pense of values. From start TO finish
the bears demonstrated their ability to
control the course of prices. They
were favored by developments. such as
the liquidation in New England, the
advance in the rate for sterling OK
change and tho poor showing of tho
ST Paul for the second week OF Decem
her Tho b-est In Nav ENGLAND from
2o To 2i1a naturally led W =. good deal
uf talk.
1t was said that Philadelphia and Bos.
ton holders were sellers on account of
internal discussions. Officials here
knew OF no reason why the stock should
have suffered such decline as was re-
corded toe ay and stated without reserve
that the January interest would be met,
the bears at one time having circulated
stories that the payment Of fixed charge
about due January was doubtful. The
stock was heavily traded in, over 4s, 600
shares changing hands. The loss in ST.
Paul earnings had it's effect on the
others Grangers and this group reached
lower figures than for long time. ST.
Paul fell ~; North western, e; Bur
linRton, Is; Rhode Island, "a, and St.
Paul and Omaha. 1A
The trunk lines were also weak. par
ticularly for the higher priced Wander
bilt issues New York Central sold
down to 1919 regular. 1t brought e9A
SELLER sixty days and was offered at 9s u
seller ninety. The stock was influenced
by rumor from London that the COM
pany had arranged for the sale Of S.
DOC, 600 new per cent. bonds to pay for
tho New York and Northern and other
acquisitions in tho shape OF improve
ments. Lake Shore fell 21S on sales of
4l5 shares. Last week the total tran
sactions in the stock were 2,215 shares.

There are numbers of pretty devices in
small vases. There is, according To The
jewelers. Circular, IL demand for them that
springs from lesson we have learned from
the Japanese. This is that II single flower
Is worthy of attention and admiration. The
Japanese never form Il bouquet He groups
ut the most two or three flowers, more often
only one, that all the beauty of stem foil
age, the unfolding of petals color and per
fumc may receive due value. y large vase
Is not needed for this purpose, but one
adapted to the size Of the flower.
The large vases in Japan are used to hold
branches of Towering plants, such rs apple
blossoms, cherry, peach and plum. This
We have not arrived at, but the single
flower is now held in higher esteem than n
bunch of less perfect flowers. For these,
smaller vases of various sizes are required.
