Daily Record of Commercial and
Financial Proceedings.
NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest of Exchange News Mining Stocks,
Metal Quotations-Wool Prices and
Movements-Grain and Pro-
duce-Review of Trade.

New York Dec. 22.-There was nothing
In to-day's stock market to refute the
opinion generally held in Wall street that
speculation in securities will continue
dull until after the first of the year and
the release of some of the funds at pres
ent locked up in large financial operations.
Sagging prices are generally the accom-
paniment of such market. but there
was sufficient strength in special stocks
due to special causes to act as a sustain
ing force on the general list. and net
gains are the rule in consequence.
The marked features in the trading
and the centers of greatest strength
were the local traction companies, Man
haitian rose three points, but lost a frac-
ton. The coalers were also aggre ssively
strong and showed net gains of between
one and two points the Reading issues be-
ing especially prominent. The industrial
specialties generally showed net gains of
quite large fractions. The statements %
estimated earnings for the last quarter of
the year of several of the Vanderbilt rail-
roads were viewed unfavorable and ac ed
as a drag on the railroad list. In viow
of the large business known to have
been done by these roads, the small i'll
creases in gross earnings. and in the
case of the Canada s ,usheln. an actual
decrease, were taken as indicative of
rates for traffic such as promised only an
unsatisfactory return to owners. This was
partly offset by the November statement
of the Northwestern, showing an increase
in gross earnings of S725.S71.
Reports OF the adjustment of the differ
ences between Uhio soft coal roads were
heard with satisfa elton among holders
of railroad securities.
The present stiffness in the money mar
ket 1t is believed, will be only temporary
and the completion of the operations con-
nected with the Union Pacific settlement
and the disbursements incident to the
beginning of the year will give relief. For
this reason the weakness of exchange
has not induced talk of gold imports at
New York. Gold is, however, on the way
from Australia to San Francisco.
The bond market was comparatively in
active especially in some of the fayorite
speculative issues, but prices were well
maintained. Total sales, $1.400, 900. Z. s.

also largely bought here late in the day.
Gand Trunks were bought by Montreal.
Mines were also lifeless. japanese bonds

A further large business was done by
the Bank of England to-day in loans at
81 per cent. and discounts of bills of all
dates ranging up to 60 days at 3 per cent.
The policy of the bank in raising rates
for loans is easy to see and is very COM
mendable. BY attracting discount bust
ness in preference to short loans they in
crease their chance of keeping control
OF the market in the early part of next
year. Signs are constant now of the
banks more vigorous and up-to-date pol
icy.

he. there was a case down at Fort
Benton which well illustrates the mis-
takes jury will make. There lived in
the town. or rather on it's outskirts. a
man and a woman. They were not
married. and to add to the immortality
of the thing. they were regular dis
turbers of the peace and it was finally
decided to get rid of them. Complaints
were sworn out against each. charging
them with adultery. The warrant for
the woman was very easily served and
she was caught and came up for trial
almost Immediately in the district
court. After the testimony was all in,
the jury retired, and after a very short
stay in the jury room, returned with a
unanimous verdict-such was neces-
sary then-of guilty. The woman was
sentenced to a term in the pen.
1T was not quite so easy to capture
the man, but he was finally brought in
week after the woman had had her
trial, and his case came up at the same
term of court. Five members of the
first jury sat in this case and the testi-
mony was precisely the same, but to
the surprise of everyone. that jury
brought in a unanimous verdict for ac-

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Decision in the Campbell Suit
Against the City.
PLEASES NEITHER PARTY
He Sued for $500 Damages to His Prop
erty Caused by Flooding-An APP
peal Will Be Taken to the
Supreme Court.

Great Falls, Dec. 22.-The suit of John
l.. Campbell against the city, after oc-
cupying the attention of the court for
parts of three days, went to the jury
this morning at 10 o'clock. After about
an hours absence the jury returned and
found verdict for the plaintiff, award
ing him the sum of $31670 as damages.
The verdict was unsatisfactory to both
sides. The plaintiff claims that as he
showed by testimony that the actual
damage to his property was $500 and
as there was no controverting testimony
he should receive, if anything, the full
amount.
The position taken by the city attor-
ney is about the same. The city
claimed that the house stood in a natu-
raj drainage basin and that it was not
responsible for the fact that during one
week or last spring an unusually large
amount of rain fell and damaged Camp
bells property. But If the city was re-
sponsible for anything it was responsible
for the entire amount of damages. The
suit is OF Importance, as there were in
the city numerous instances of damage
to property by the flooding of the
streets during the heavy June rains and
il this suit is successful it is likely that
others will be filed. The city will take
the case to the supreme court if mo-
tion for new trial is not allowed in
