THURsDAI. Dec. 10.
Although the transactions both In stocks and
IN bonds we're the smallest Of any day this
week, the market really gave no signs OF q
diminutlon OF the bullish temper OF %specula-
tors and investors. 1t ia surprising that the
reaction both In the volume Of business and
in prices has not been more pronounced than
IL has been. In spite OF the comparatively
ANAL falling OF in the dealings. the distribu-
ton Of the transactions was the widest In the
history OF the Stock Exchange. In tho bond
department the number OF issues dealt In
broke the record. while In stocks the stats
tics we're we'll UP to the largest. Tn course OF
prices was naturally irregular, owing to profit
taking in some stocks and the awakening OF
frosh interest In others. For example. there
was heavy realizing in Missouri Pacific. partly
on donials OF yesterdays report that the con-
troll OF the Chicago and Alton Railroad had
been occurred In the interests OF the Missouri
Pacific Company. As a matter OF fact. no
change has yet taken place in the control OF the
Alton property.
Other stocks that yielded considerably at
some time during the day were Atchison pre-
forred, the Granger shares. Northern Pacific
common, Peoples Gas and Union Pacific pre-
ferred. Nearly all OF them. however. rose above
che final prices OF yesterday In the late dealings.
Il will be noted that Sugar Refining. for the
GTst time since the recent sharp uecIlne IN IL
began. showed a tendency to rally. and
closed nearly 2 points higher than yes
terday. Other exceptionally strong fea-
tures were Federal Steel common. which
led the list in respect TO activity and scored the
greatest net gain. namely az n cent. the pre-
forrsd stock. New York Central, Omaha COM
mon. Canada Southern. Central Pacific. Denver
and Bio Grande preferred. Lake Erie and West
ern issues. Chicago and Alton and p. O.. O. and
BE. Louis. Several OF these were dealt In more
extensively than they have been in many
months.
Practically the only noteworthy news to-day
vas the publication Of the foreign trade state
ment for November. which surpassed all ex-
pectations OF a record-breakinR exhibit. 1t Is
simply additional evidence OF the dependence
OF Europe upon tho United States as a source
OF supplies. while the growing independence
Of this country in commercial matters is shown
by the falling of in imports. particularly for
the eleven months ending Nov. 30. Foreign
arbitrage operations. though on a fairly large
scale. were not much OF a factor in the days
business. The closing was In the main strong.

CONDITIONAL WITH YALE.
Date for the Triangular Boat Race
VIII Have to Be Ratified by the
Faculty.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 19-Yale
undergraduates, especially the oars
men, are delighted with the outcome
of yesterdays boating conference in
New York assuring a triangular race
between the Blue, Cornell, and Harvard
this year At the crew practice this
afternoon the candidates were unanf-
nous In expressing their pleasure that
they were to be given another chance
TO meet Cornell.
One point relative to the conference
did not come to the surface until last
night. The Yale naval managers will
have to get special permission from the
faculty to hold the race either June %
or "a. The dates set in the agreement
were made conditionally with Cornell
and Harvard yesterday. When the
Yale faculty month ago voted per-
mission for the crew to go to New
London they stipulated tie races should
not take place before June 80. They
wished to have it deferred till after the
college commencement, June %. The
dates named yesterday will make It
necessary to row the race before the
final examinations close That will
make 1t awkward for the Yale under
graduates who wish to attend. The
last named date, June "a, will be lust
at the close OF the examination. The
crew managers expect the faculty will
regard ratifying that date as a mere
matter of form, and no opposition will
be manifested. The faculty action will
be taken next Wednesday.
Capt. Payne Whitney said tonight the
plans for the varsity race included an
arrangement for a freshman contest at
New London several days before the
varsity contest The Cornell freshmen
Will then train at New London with the
other crews. Cornell's quarters at New
London will be arranged for as soon
