STOCKS SHOW STRENGTH.
Excellent Bu.ine.. AdXise. and Re-

Excellent buslnebb huSiCcS hhsi ANc-
ports of Increased Earnings.
New York. Dec 6.-Decided strength
was shown by the stock market during
the greater part of the day. There was
a certain degree of hesitation in the early
dealings, but no disposition was evinced
on the part of any of the traders to take
the short side aggressively. The trading
was limited in volume agd inclined to
dullness. The undertone OF the market
remained firm and in the later morning
dealings assumed a strong tone, with ma
terial advances in a number of directions.
Strong features were the Pacific issues.
Northern Pacific advanced Ia points, and
Northern Pacific preferred and Union Pa
cifc each one point. Other stocks that
showed special strength were Pacific Mail,
Big Four and the coalers. There was no
explanation of the strength of the anthra-
cite. Metropolitan Street Railway early
advanced 1-2 points. the Improvement
being based upon the increase In the divi-
dend rate but the stock failed to retain
the full extent of the advance. In the in
dustrial group the declaration by the di-
rectors OF the American Sugar Refining
Company of the quarterly dividend upon
the common stock at the regular rate of
3 per cent was followed by moderate
selling of the stock, but the price rallied
quickly on the news that the various re-
fining interests had restored their posted
prices 1-Sc pound, and which extent
they had shaded them ws,nin the past few
days. American Tobacco was strong, ad-
vancing more than three points. Through
out the day there was an absence OF any
effort to liquldate stocks, and the reac-
tion of yesterday appeared TO have run
its course and the uneasiness then appar-
ent to have disappeared.
Among the favorable influences of the
day were increases in earnings reported
by number of railroad systems and ex-
cellent advices regarding the general bust
ness.
An incident OF the day which had no
material affect was the publication of the
annual report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, in which he reiterated opinions
previously expressed. favOring the retire
ment of United States notes and the sub
stitution therefor of national bank notes.
In the final dealings the stock market con-
tinued dull, but with the undertone
strong Sugar Refining was an exception,
selling off in the closing trading.

here in many moons, and the score of

the game. 1t was fast and snappy
throughout, and sufficiently exciting at
all times to keep the crowd of rooters
for both sides busy.
With an almost perfect afternoon, there
was little wonder that the brand-new
gr9adstand was filled with our prettiest
girls in their smartest and brightest
gowns and vari-colored bonnets. relieved
in a background of the dark clothing of
their escorts. From the field it looked
like an immense flower bed. To the right

off right field were traps and handsome
vehicles of all sorts, including big
Princeton tally-ho. 1t was, indeed gala
afternoon. and, under the conditions, the
players were inspired to do their level
best.
Georgetown played splendid game
and the errors charged to her players
were the result of bad throwing, and
were more or less costly. Bache Off
