New York, Dec 31.-The stock mar
ket today was essentially professional
one, in consequence of the closing of
the year and the evening up of contracts
incidental thereto.
The dominating influence was the i'm
pending government bond issue. The
price of the bonds is expected TO net
the treasury about 324 per cent. The
agreement covers the delivery to the
treasury of gold from outside sources,
equivalent to 800, 600. 900 with an option
of an equal amount. To be exact, it
calls for a first installment Of 5,075,00
ounces of gold, and for a similar sum
in case of necessity. ]. P. Morgan &
Co, the managers Of the syndicate, will
apportion the allOtments to the other
members, receiving a commission OF /
per cent for their services. The all
important point about the new deal is
that the syndicate does not guarantee
TO guard the treasury gold reserve.
The confident sentiment that the
treasury relief measures would be ef-
fective caused the traders 10 disregard
lower quotations for Americans in the
London market. The dealings for that
account by the arbitrage houses were
insignificant. Prices in the local mar
ket improved sharply, chiefly on the
covering of short contracts. Some
stocks. however. on special influences,
attracted buying for the long account
Sugar for instance. gained is per cent

foreign and domestic sugars. In the rail
way list. the advances were greatest

exchange rates were easier and il was
reported that the last consignment OF
gold TO Europe now on the way would
upon arrival in Europe. be Immediately
re- shipped 10 this country TO be en-
ployed. presumably, in purchases OF
government bonds. Only $500. 600 in
gold was Withdrawn for shipment 70

l.. WoOds-MerriIl at n Big
Turkey Dinner.

The feast given the newsboys yesterday
by J. L. Woods-Merrill at Staley's restau-
rant. near Tenth and Main streets, was
one long TO be remembered by them and an
occasion to which they demonstrated fully
their ability to rise with ease. At , o'clock
the newsboys assembled at their hall the
home of the Newsboys' Union. 2lS West
Seventh street. and prepared for a march
through the streets to the festal board.
\ few moments later the parade started
There We're $50 boys in line and their happy
faces told what was in store for them. Up
through Walnut street from Seventh they
came, like StOnewau Jackson's rebel horde
marching through Frederickstown,- but
their yell was not that of the rebellious. 1t
was the voice of approval that enanated
from 10 throats in answer to the cravings
in 80 hungry Cullets about 20 be filled with
turkey, cranberry sauce. coffee, milk and
other good things. There was very little
hesitation, as a colOred band led the way,
and a great deal less backwardness when
the boys got settled good and plenty al
the tables. At the close of the meal they
did the right thing by Mr. Woods Merrill
and voted him the best fellow that ever
lived He deserved the distinction
