Stocks and Ronds.

New York, Dec. 30.-The stock market
ruled irregular, but mainly lower, to-day.
Fluctuations were narrow and the dealings
were confined to the usual leaders. Lower
London prices and realizing by local trad
ers were the only apparent influences bear
ing upon the speculation. The contraction
of business was ascribed to the approach
ing holiday, the frequency of reports of
bank failures in the West, and the near
by reassembling of congress. Delaware &
Hudson exhibited further weakness and
lost 2 per cent on liquidation, due to the
theories of a probable reduction in the
dividend for 1897.
The market lapsed into extreme dullness
after midday and the dealings lacked signi-
ficance until near the close, when a brisk
purchasing movement in Sugar developed,
advancing the price per cent. The mar
ket closed steady at slight net losses gen.
orally.
The bond market displayed increased ac-
tivity and strength. with some notable i'm
provements in giltedge issues on invest
ment orders.

LUMBER AND IMPLEMENT MEN.
VIII Meet in This City on January 1s
20 and Fl.

The Missouri and Kansas Lumber Deal
ers' Association will meet at the Grand
opera house on January 10. 20 and q, in
connection with the annual meeting of the
Western Retail Implement and Vehicle
Dealers Association. The meetings are to
be held at the same time for the reason
that many dealers carry both lines of
goods, and If the meetings were held at
different times they would have to come
to the city twice. The membership of the
Lumber Dealers Association has grown
50 per cent since the last meeting and the
coming gathering will be the largest in
the history of the association. Nearly all
of the vehicle and implement dealers and
lumbermen of the two states are members
of the association, and it is expected that
500 people will attend the gathering.
