TUESDAY. Dec. 81.
The holiday character of the stock market
was even moro pronounced than yesterday. the
transactions being only q little in excess of
16O. 900 shares. 1t Is hardly necessary to add
that these very moderate dealings were almost
entirely professional and that the dulness en-
couraged some selling for both accounts. but
particularly with the view Of depressing prices.
The most effective selling. perhaps. came from
London, where fears Of political complications
over the Chinese situation unsettled the mar
kots. Still, there was really no pressure to dis
pose of stocks. and the net declines recorded for
the majority Of the list were due fully as much
to the presumably temp rary apathy of leading
bulls as to any other cause. The Indications are
that, as for some time past, moderate pur-
chases by substantial interests or by commission
houses would rout the short interest in q very
few hours. The call money market was less
active than yesterday, ruling at 2lad3 . cent,
with exceptional transactions at 4 y cent. and
at / y cent. at tho close. The higher rates, it
should be understood. are paid only by borrow
ers with Indifferent credit and collateral. A
noteworthy incident of the day was tho declara-
ton of a semi-annual dividend of 2o q cent. on
st. Joe and Grand Island first preferred. The
declaration of the dividend has been fore
Swallowed by the earnings of tho company, and
the statement for the current six months, made
public to-day. shows that it was warranted, as
the company earned the full 5 . cent. upon its
first preferred stock within the period men,
toned. The closing was in the main steady, at
fractional recoveries from the lowest prices.
Final sales compare with those or yesterday

Wheat was more active to-day. but the increased &C.
tivity was at the expense OF prices. At the opening
prices declined on disappointing cables and local real
fZing sales, but subsequently, the loss was recovered.
