MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec. 8.-Quotations in the
stock market rose the greater part of
the day but in the late dealings lost
part of the early advance, closing easy
with slight gains in most stocks. The
initial tendency was hestating and
and timid, perhaps sympathetically
with their regular tone of London,
which was moderate seller of Nor
folk & Western. Union Pacific and
Louisville & Nashville. The Changers
shook off their recent lethargy and
gave confidence to the rest of the list.
Americans strong foreign trade situa-
tion with it's effects on values as inter-
preted in widely published optimistic
statement of an operator who usually
controls a large following, was not
without sentimental effect. Reports of
improvement in both the hard and soft
coal trade and the possibility of the
enactment into law of the anti-scalping
bill were subjects of discussion and
acted as tonic on the railways. More
over important interests were openly
buyers of properties with which they
are Identified, large offerings being
readily absorbed and the market
broadened materially. In the later
dealings the Changers yielded sympa-
thetically with the weakness in wheat
and business slackened until near the
close when there was evidence of
weakness in a few railways.
The easy conditions of the money
market furnishes abundant evidence
of the vast amount of capital seeking
investment which is now being en-
ployed in the railroad miscellaneous
bond market. Transactions in this de-
partment were on very extensive
scale and considerable Improvement
was made in many issues. Total bond

To Honor Miss Gould.

General Joe Wheeler, congressman
from Alabama, and one of the real
heroes of the Santiago campaign, has
kept his promise by offering a resolu-
ton in the House of Representative
for a special medal of honor to be pre-
sented to Miss Helen Gould of New
York. This young lady showed during
the war a practical patriotism and
bounteous benevolence which won for
her the esteem and admiration of the
people of the whole country. She has
ever been active in philanthropic and
charitable work, but her services dur
ing the war made her the idol of the
soldiers and beloved by all the country.
She had vast wealth at her command,
it is true. but that does not in any
way lessen the praiseworthiness of her
deeds. Her first gift was a large
check to the government as her contri-
button to the cost of the war, but it
was when the troops came back from
Santiago, and were put in camp at
Montauk Point, that her money was
put to the best use. To those in COM
mand at that camp she gave an order
to draw on her for all that the soldiers
could need, and this gift was used in
such a way that those heroes in the
hospitals had many delcacies that the
government could not or would not
furnish, and received far better treat

Daily Kennebec journal., 1898-12-09

The statement given out by the COM
missioner of navigation containing
summary of the leading facts in his
forthcoming annual report for 1898,
contains the statement that the yes
sells registered for foreign trade num-
ber 1136 of 737,709 tons, compared with
1890, of SO5,5S4 tons for 1897. These
figures are the lowest since 1882.
Think of it! 1t is 66 years since the
number of ships engaged in the for
eign trade was as few as during the
past fiscal year! While our foreign
trade is increasing at such rapid
strides our foreign merchant marine
ought to be keeping step with it.

The Rank Of On Ambassad dor.

Tne elevation OF SenOr Romero,
Mexican minister at Washington, to
the rank of ambassador, just an
nounced from Washington. represents
the first diplomatic office of the highest
rank to be created in the intercourse
between republics of the Western
Hemisphere. 1t would have been inn
possible for the United States to in
augurate such a change, since under
our law governing such cases the other
party in interest must first elevate its
legation at Washington to an embassy
this government responding by SIM
liar action.
1t is matter for congratulation that
the leader in this continental departure
should be Mexico, most progressive of
Latin American countries. The fact
indicates an appreciation by Mexico of
the steadily increasing prestige of the
United States in the council of nations.
and the growing Importance of our
relations with our sister republics. 1t
it also significant of Mexican progress,
for the administration would never
agree to such a change with any coun-
try at standstill or suffering from
deterioration.
While the essential rights and powers
of an ambassador are not materially
y,.o tpr 70 of n
former rank carries with it distinctly
superior privileges as to precedence
and etiquette. And, since the nations
of Europe are sticklers in these mat
ters, the greater precedence now rapid
ly conferred upon the highest Ameri
can representatives abroad is eloquent
of the increased respect in which the
influence of the United States is held.
It was not, of course, the fault of
Europe that until five years ago we
had not a single ambassador in our
diplomatic corps. Congress barred the
way with persistent refusal to enact
an enabling law as provided by the
Constitution. AT the same time, it is
safe to assert that until within recent
years leading European powers would
have declined or heSitated to send
ambassadors in place of ministers to
Washington, and that Great Britain,
by leading the way in 1898, was largely
influential in persuading proper recog-
milton of our changed condition by
Italy, Germany, France and Russia,
who have since followed her example.
Now comes Mexico, as sixth in the
line of elevation, with Austria-Hun-
gary in officially announced prospect,
and Turkey tottering on the edge OF
acquescence. There is little doubt
that other Latin-American republics
will shortly strive for a diplomatic
standing at Washington equal to that
of Mexico-for it goes without saying
that, as Europe has made of our diplo-
matte rank a gauge of our internation-
al Importance, so will the United
States draw the line of precedence and
Importance with the countries of Cen
| trail and South America. LAmbassa- :
dorial expansion carries, therefore,
positive significance as a guide to our
commercial and territorial status.

When Senator Caffery of Louisiana,
said, 1.-The project of borrowing $780,,
900. 900 to open all the waterways of the
United States would be sneered at, but
the project Of borrowing s100 0,O08, 900 to
dig canal of doubtful value is jumped
at as the salvation of the country" he
was probably thinking of Representa-
tive Meyers proposition to expend $12,
100000 in opening the mouth of the
Mississippi and making clear passage
to deep water in the Gulf. No doubt,
he feared that if Congress adopted the
one magnificent project it would be less
inclined to favor the other and with
the true sectional spirit, which is one
of the weaknesses of Southern states
men, he supported his local interest to
the jeopardizing of the greater one.

The "sky scraper' fire in New York
has set builders, firemen and insurance
companies to figuring. There are so
many advantages connected with the
tall buildings in crowded cities that
owners of real estate are 10th to aban-
don the system; but abandoned it must
be unless some means can be found to
protect the structures from fire at least
as effectually as buildings half their
height are protected. OF course it is
a matter of little difficulty to pump
water to the top of any of these build
ings, and if it were known just where
a fire would break out, it would be a
comparatively easy thing to cope with
it; but that is just what is not known,
and the expense of maintaining power
full pumps in constant readiness to deal
with a fire that may never occur would
be prohibitive. The problem, which
was formerly theory, is now a condi-
tion, and must be met, or the insur-
ance companies will become fatal
enemies to the tall buildings.
