New York, Dec 4.-There was a Pc
Rod of excitement at the opening of the
stock market today. One thousand
shares of Manhattan were thrown upon
the market, selling at 1o4A down to
1851 simultaneously. Running sales of
1000 Chicago Great Western in the
meantime brought from Is to 15A. This
state of affairs was short-lived and the
general market became good deal
mixed, although the changes shown were
of small proportions. Supporting orders
soon appeared in Manhattan and worked
a full recovery in that stock. Sugar re-
sponded sharply to covering orders,
while the railroad shares were almost
entirely neglected and fiuctuated feebly.
In the second hour of trading the mar
kat was practically feStureless. Prices
moved narrowly throughout the list; but
it was apparent that the trading ele-
ment favored the bear side. There was
a degree of weakness and the close was
barely steady.

AS JAMES WEATHERLY
VIEWS THE QUESTION

I favor the calling of constitutional
convention; burt do NOT think the q,las-
tion should be put to the peopl- in such
way as to cause apprehension in tfelr
minds THAT unlimited or enlarged power
of local taxation for educational or other
purposes will be lodged with the clies,
towns, counties, or school districts of
the state. Indeed, lit should not be one of
the objects of a consitDtut 1onal convenr
ton aO do away with wise limitations
upon the power of local taxation, and
regulations which secure uniformity in
the subjects and rate of taxation
throughout the state. The question of
education is, of course, cine of prime
Importance to uhe people, of state
showing such a large per centage of i'll
ltteracy as Alabama, and should be con-
aldered i'm the convention, and some
change in the organic law effected where
by our free school system may be ex-
tended equally to all the school children
of every community in the state; butt
This doss not necessarily imply increased
power of local taxation. II thst is in

In Wnll Street.

New York, Dec. 4.-Today's stock mar
kea Was left almost entirely TO the room
traders, and thy seemed disposed to
depress prices during the ea.ly part of
tlpe> session by short safes. Their effort
met little response and they covered be-
fore the close, bringing prices in most
cases Slightly aboNe yesterdays close.
The movements of prices was, however,
trivial throughout TIN day, except in
few special CASES. Chicago Great West
em showed strength en- it's large in
crease of earnings for the fourth week
in November. Susquehenna and Western
continued to lose in price, ard Delaware
and Hudson of the same group syrnpa-
thfzed The days news, SO far as it Was
regarded was Favorable, eltatem fD1s of
fourth weeks earnings THAT We're pub
fished showing large earrings and hand
some increases.
There has been nothing in the opera
tbons Din the money market during the
week to account for tfse expansion of
So 476, 500 in the dc ans, and it Is probably
due to the borrowings en- the exchange.
Tt is estimated Mat over $4,000, 900 of
foreign exchange hills lflave bsen allowed
DO accumulate in this city during Jhe
week and THAT the fact THAT prices of
exchange have not been ma erially low
cred shows that 1t Is withheld and the
money loaned abroad. There was also a
coultirmanca of inv, stment buying of long
exchange in arsttc. PATTON of the return
of the movement of srade after the firslt
of the year If the import of general
merchandise becomes heavy during the
neqt few rnonuirs, long exchange must
prove poor investment in view of the
enormous olatgo of merchandise of The
last few months. London aRvicsls DUR
ingythe week have reached a very heavy

THE same demand has existed In the New
York market.
The activity of the bond market has
been a feature of the stock exchange
all the week, and the fetal dealings lin
bonds on Thursday aggregated nearly
81, 100, GOO. -.
The activity of the stock market has
been spasmodic. The week opened with
evidence of an awakened outside inter-
est in tn market, due Ito the sharp adj
vances of Friday and Saturday previous.
Rut the buyers of that period took coca
sion to realize on Monday and turned
prices backwards again. Tuesday and
wednesday the bulls loaded up again
and prices slowly hardened. Thursday
opened with great animation and higher
prices but while the animation contin-
ned the rise came to a stop, and soon
prices were falling quickly and sharp
Iy. The market showed no sign of re-
covery either Friday or today. The re-
actions have not, however, wiped out all
erains and the week shows net gains
between one and two points in many
leading shares and exceeding two points
in some. Free offerings of stocks ON the
advance shows today's position to await
