 Hearty Thanks.

The stock Market.

New York, Dec. 27.-Stocks were strong and higher to-day with busi- ness well distributed. The improvement in railway quotations was from 1 to 2 points, generally, and even greater in the specialties. Shifting of speculative accounts and profit taking were at times responsible for fluctuations down. ward, but the tone throughout was con- fident. Among the many reasons to ac- count for this were favorable traffic statements for the third week in De- cember, especially St. Paurs, where the gross increase was over $1T00000; Sat- lrday's good bank statement, the North Dakota decision in favor of the rail- ways and continued ease in the money market. Moreover, the advance in Americans in London had a stimulating effect, although later there was moder- ate selling from that quarter on the ad- vance here. There was a continuation of the tendency to discount January dividend disbursements, a larger pro- portion of which will remain in this country than hitherto because of the absorption of large blocks of lnterna- tions formerly owned abroad. The grangers were more largely traded in | than of late at advancing prices, Rock | Island making an extreme advance of 8 points. St. Paul 15s, Burlington 1A, and the others a point each. Many or I ders accumulated over the holidays were received to buy at the market caused a wide opening in many stocks, | American Steel and Wire stocks rose about 8 points each and retained the | greater part of the advance. Federal Steel also both common and preferred
 was up over 2 points, but eased oil somewhat. Peoples Gas and Brooklyn Transit were very strong, the latter on the theory that there would be an nouncement in January of the consoli- dation of competing lines. Sugar Refin- | ing was an exception to the genera

POULTRY SHOW OPENS TO-DAY
LANCE NUMBEB OF ENTRIES HAVE
 BEEN RECEIVED.
Prize Winners VIII be Announced This Afternoon-Many Fine Individual Ex- hibits Are to be seen-Exhibition Closes Saturday Evening.

htbits Are to be Seen-ExhibitiOM Closes Saturday Evening,
 The sixth annual exhibition of the New Haven Poultry association opens in Music hall this morning at 10 o'clock. About fifteen hundred entries have been received of all kinds and conditions of fowls, and as one opens the door to the nall his ears are assailed by perfect batch of sounds. The deep, hoarse notes of the Asiatics, including Brah- mas, cochins, cartridges and langshans, are heard in direct contrast to the shrill notes of the bantams and the squawk of the geese and water fowl
 The quality of the birds entered is of the best, a great many coming from New York state, and it will not be very easy matter for the judges to an- nounce the winners. An attractive dis play is that of two pens of wild geese one, the property of A. N. Farnham of New Haven, containing birds from South Carolina; and the others, the property of G. D. Tilly of Darien, Conn.,, containing two from Canada. A fine display of large turkeys comes from the farm of D. s. Hartwell of Wash ington, Conn.,, and some fine Hamburgs are the property of Charles E1dredge of Rye, N. Y.
 John D. Nichols of Branford exhibits fine display of barred Plymouth Rocks, and display of the same kind of fowl, the property of A. Storer of Fair Haven, is looked upon as prize winners.
 Other noticeable entries are some fine bantams of six or eight different varie- ties, the property of B. c. Thornton of South Vineland, N. J.; display of rose comb brown leghorns, owned by Frank Fowler of Meriden; some fine dark Brahmas, owned by w. A. Pease of Middletown, and a fine display of black Minorkas from Melrose, Conn.
 An incubator, the property of c. P. Jordan of West Haven, in which the work of matching chickens from the eggs can be noted in all it's stages, will be quite an attraction.
 On the lower floor are the salesrooms, in which almost any of the fowls on ex- hibition may be bought.
 Some of the entries will be judged this afternoon and cards announcing all the prize-winners will be up by to- morrow afternoon. The judges are D.. s. Miles of Sag Harbor, the Hon. D. A.. Nichols of Monroe, Conn.,, and F. L.. Edwards If thic nitv
 feature of the exhibition will be a prize-guessing contest, the prize being large turkey and the one making the nearest guess as to his weight winning the prize.
 No pains have been spared by those in charge of the exhibition to make 1t the most successful of any thus far, and from all indications it will be far ahead of those of previous years.
