If, on the other hand, these reduc-
tions were caused by the suppression
of the free coinage of silver, will not
reversion of policy enable the railroads
to advance their freight rates and rob the
people, as will be claimed, by exacting
80 per cent more than at present? And
will not some supplementary provisions
to the free coinage act be necessary to
prevent their so doing?

MARKET FOR STOCK STEADY
BEAR INFLUENCES DISCOUNTED

NEW YORK, Dec 4-The stock market
to-day displayed increased activity and a
broader distribution of business The tone
was mainly strong, owing to a variety of
influences calculated to advance prices
These factors included an improved demand
for choice investment stocks and bonds, ex-
ceptional in money call funds being
nominally quoted at the close at 101H per
cent. and dividend disbursements, actual and
anticipated. The speculation in miscellaneous
securities also exhibited improvement and a
wider range The constant accumulation Of
funds at this center and expectation Of i'm
provement in general and railroad business
conditions on the part Of many investors
leads them to take up securities of favorably
situated properties. Investment bond houses
report heavier business than for some
time past and good-sized blocks of the bonds
OF reorganized roads have been sold. The
declaration of a dividend of l per cent. on
Southern preferred exerted particularly en-
courag1ng influence. In general way it is
asserted that the prospect of continued un-
favorable traffic reports by some OF the rail-
roads and the sentimental effect OF the reas-
semblage of congress, have been discounted.
The course OF prices was somewhat irregu-
lar, but in many instances the tendency
toward Improvement was well defined, par
tlcularly in the specialties The expert analy-
sis OF the accounting and reports OF the pre-
vious Baltimore & Ohio management caused
a decline Of about 4 per cent. in the stock
The upward movement in the general list
was accelerated by foreign purchases, chiefly
of st. Paul and Louisville & Nashville. Com
mercial cable conspicuous for a jump
to 1859 on a purchase of 100 shares as COM
pared with 1913, the last preceding sale. The
market closed steady at slight net gains in
the principal stocks.
The railroad and miscellaneous bond mar
ket displayed considerable animation on a
broader movement, which included many of
the gilt-edged issues Speculative bonds
were also strong and more active. The sales
were $2,264, 600. The gains ranged from 1 to A
per cent, the last in Rock Island debenture,
5s. Governments were in moderate demand,
but were generally Arm. The sales were $51,
0O0 The total sales of stocks to-day were
186,907 shares, including: Sugar, q, 100; Bur

DuIuth Firm Sued.

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. An. j. Clark, Of
Saginaw, has instituted large suit against
the insolvent B. B. Richards Lumber COM
pany, of this city. The company had a con-
tract with Clark for the standing timber on
lands in Carlton county. He sold the timber
to the company for $265, 000 He was to be
paid in installments, and the title was to be
his until entirely paid. Only a small part
has been paid, and he claims the company
has broken the agreement by disposing of
lumber without having paid him. He claims,
also, in September he gave the company per-
mission to sell 600 worth of lumber to pay
it's men, and that 1t did not do this but kept
the money. He wants the contract annulled
and the timber returned to him. This CON
tract is the company's best asset.
