GENERAL MARKET REPORT
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 16.-The buying
of stocks during the opening hour th.s
morning carried prices well up to the best
records of the present market. London
traded in some 20.Ua0 shares probably sell
ing slightly more than were purchased, but
showing a tendency to realize over the holi-
day period This tendency is growing in
prominence in the local market also and
interest is almost always shifting from one
group to another. This frequent change of
interest is, and probably will be, severe
test of the markets ability to endure at
tacks.
Prices are marked Up wherever the pro-
cess meets with no material supply seeking
a market but where such supply Is en-
countered the movement is abandoned and a
new group selected.
Federal Steel issues were selected during
the morning and made to reflect substantial
gains Just how much of the movement
was based on actual merit and how much
was manipulative is a mooted point, but
the price responded easily and helped the
entire list TO some extent.
The iron and steel conditions are 50 thor
oughiy encouraging that it is a source Of
some surprise that earlier aggressiveness
did not appear in this group Of stocks
Taken as whole however, there is a
trifie less confidence in the speculative fea-
lures of the industrial list than in those of
their more conservative ncighbors in the
railroad department.
This feeling is in part tracable to the
rather erratic action of the industrial group
and the growing tendency toward wide
fluctuations. Sugar, for example, declined
per cent under a good volume of selling,
and later the entire industrial group was
in accord with the reactionary movement
Rubber, Leather and enterprises similar
In character have been advanced sharply
of late. but once protit-taking begins prices
fall off sharply. The ordinary risks of spec
ulation are consequently increased because
of the allowance which must be made for
the difference between the market price
and the probable price obtained for the
last hundred shares of any considerable
block.
There is no doubt that the strength of
the present market is most pronounced in
the dividend ying railway issues.
On all sides commissions to buy the latter
stocks on declines seem to be plentiful, but
the indusrials have once more returned to
professional hands.
Manipulation is doing for this group what
growing merit is doing for Atchison, the
Pacific issues and Panhandle. The buying
Of the latter stock today was liberal In
volume and made a decidedly new impress
sion on the price. The protactorate Of the
Pennsylvania system is making up for the
temporary absence Of dividends

PARIS. December 16.-The entire Ameri-
can peace commission leaves here for the
United States, via Havre and Southampton,
tonight and sails for, New York tomorrow
on board the American line steamer St.
Louis. z
1t is learned that Agoncillo the repre-
sentative of Aguinaldo, the Philippine lead
er' has lodged a strongly -worded protest
With the commission. which thus becomes
part of the records.
IL begins with saying that "the very
nople and gallant General Aguinaldo, pres
ldent or the Philippine republic had hon
ored MIN with the post of official repre-
sentative to the very honorable President
OF the United States.' AgonciiIo then re-
views the case AT length, saying that at
the time of "imp1orfng the armed co-opera-
tion Of Aguinaldo and the other Philippine
chiefs" both the Commander of the Petrel,
captain Wood, in Hong Kong, before the
declaration of war, and the American con-
suis general, Pratt in Singapore, Wildman
at Hong Kong and Williams at Cavite.

SEVERAL DEALS IN PLAYERS,
Pretty Much All of baltimore Men to
Go to BROOKLYN

NEW YORK, December 16-Although
official confirmation cannot be obtained, 1t
is pretty well established fact that deal
has been consUmmated. whereby the best
players of the Baltimore club are to be
drafted to the Brooklyn club. The players
involved in the transfer are Kelley, Keeler
Jennings. McGann, DeMontrevilIe, Joe
Corbett AL Maui and McJ&mes.
This will naturally weaken the Orioles.
who will drop to near the bottom of the
list, provided that the Baltimore club Is
still retained in the National League. The
statements to the effect that two leagues
of eight clubs each will be formed for the
coming season has been revived again. and
those who ought to know are very positive
that it will be brought into effect.
Deals were made today by which the
Minneapolis club secured the services of
Second Baseman Abbatiachio from PhiIa-
delphia and Shortstop George Smith from
St. Louis. Both men were purchased but
the amount of money paid was not made
public.
The first business to be taken up by the
board of arbitration today was the ques-
ton Of territorial rights for the Newark
N j., and Hartford, Conn, clubs each of
which has applied for membership in the
Eastern League.

Our New Colonial Army.
From the I.ondea Chronicle.

The figure of 100000 men, which Mr..

coupled with the wise suggestion that n
considerable number of the rank and file
