NEW YORK, Dec. 9-Today's short
session Of the Stock exchange was an ami
mated one, due in great part to contin-
ued generalization among some of the
industrial stocks. The determined raid

brought out by this advance again decid--

broke prices throughout the list The
last sale of Sugar was at 1872, the lowest

the next and last sale at 104, a net loss

other points in the list of especialties, not

The steel and iron stocks continued
weak, but were not SO Vulnerable as they

railway stocks were relatively much

many railways above last night, and net
gains were made for a number of them.
Bears had commenced to cover before
the appearance of the bank statement
and their buying became rather more ur-
gent after the statement owing to the
unexpected small loss in cash. The gen
eral conviction that the return was I'M
trustworthy as an index of the real con-
dition of the banks helped to the final
yielding of prices. The outgo to the sub
treasury alone Is matter Of record,
whereas the statement indicates only
$2,675 400 altogether.
That there has been wholesale con-
traction of loans all week has been pal
pable in the stock market and that &C

the contraction so far as to bring the

DIED AT PHOENIX.
Sydney Porter, Formerly With the
Milwaukee Road Here.

Word was received in st. Paul yester-
day of the death of Sydney Porter, at
Phoenix, Arizona. Sydney Porter was the
son of D. w. Porter, joint agent at South
St. Paul, of all the railroads entering st.
Paul. and was himself one of the most
promising young railroad men Of the
Twin Cities having been associated with
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul as
secretary to Supt. H. R. Williams. He
was a victim of consumption, and re-
Egned his position with the Milwaukee
road to go to Arizona in the hope that
the change of climate would be of benefit
to his health. The news of his death
was great shock to his family, and was
received with deep regret by his large
circle of friends in st. Paul.
