stocks and Bonds.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The stock market
ruled about as dull as previous to the hol
idays, and although there were no intu-
ences that have not recently been operative
the tone was heavy the greater part of the
day. The professionals displayed the only
interest that was discernihle in the specu-
lation and the main argument against
prices was the unsatisfactory character of
the traffic returns, chiefly for the third
week in November. In the final hour the
market was enlivened by moderate burst
of activity on a covering movement and
prices rallied in many instances. London
quotations came lower but the arbitrage
operations were not noteworthy, owing to
a disposition to await the outcome to the
London fortnightly settlement which be-
gan to-day. The market closed firm, at
fractional losses generally. Railway bonds
were dull and fractionaly featureless,
aside from degree of frmness in Read
ing As.
Government bonds were in fair demand
and ruled higher on purchases of $4,000

CHINA TO BE ANGLIClZED.
Ii Hung Chang's Visit to England
and America Beginning to
Bear Fruit.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-According to news
received here from unofficial sources, Lii
Hung Chang's visit to England and the
United States has already borne fruit in a
decision of the Chinese government grad
ually to Anglicize the Chinese people. at
least as far as their language is concerned.
The Peking government recently issued in
structions to the various viceroys and
governors of provinces of the empire to
establish schools for the teaching of the
English language and Western sciences in
all of the principal cities OF the country.
According to the wording of one clause in
the general Instructions, the reason for
this is that China, in order to keep herself
on terms of equality and in touch with the
great powers of Europe must educate
the masses and encourage inventive gen.
ius and foreign learning umong her people,
together with that love of country and
home and that devoted patriotism SO con-
spicuously engrained in all the hearts of
those who have studied such languages
and sciences"
