New York, Dec. 2s.-The transactions
OF the stock exchange today were more
or less interrupted by the holiday frohcs
of the brokers on the floor, but there was
sufficient trading evening up accounts for
the close of the year 10 make quite an

were conspicuously affected, ~ common

specialties, including Sugar, the To-
baccos, and the New York City traction
stocks, were also inclined to react, al
though the undertone was strong and
there was a disposition 10 hold stocks
for the expected demand after the first
Of the year. The expectation OF this de-
mand is based on the sudden relapse in
the money market rates at all the lead
ing financial centers, the London discount
rate falling below the bank rate today
and the Berlin rate showing a further de-
cline. This gives ground for a hope that
the export movement Of gold will be
brought TO a stop. II IS possible, how
ever, that the relaxation in foreign money
rates may be based on expectations Of
further supplies Of gold from this coun-
try. That being the case, bankers believe
that there may be occurrences OF money
stiffness in January. The days trading
demonstrated that the level Of prices still
offers inducements for investment buying.
The sales of small lots of less than 100
shares continued even more conspicuous
than on recent days. All grades OF stocks

ton has reached the war department
showing that considerable difficulty will
be encountered In the payment of the

A ROYAL FUNCTION
Tint Delighted the People of London.
The Queens Drawing Room-Scv-
cral Americans Presented.

- -A'S''~' ibst'''
LONDON. May l6.-In spite Of the
showery weather large crowds of peo-
pie gathered In St. James park to-day
In order to see the carriages containing
people bound for the queens drawing
room at buckingham palace. They be-
gan to arrive at noon. and when they
were allowed to take places at o'clock
double line had already been stretch-
ed from the palace to the Horse Guards
parade. and another from the palace
along Buckingham palace road to Vic
torial railroad station. The unusual
eagerness to reach the palace was due
to the hope Of the debutantes OF being
received by the queen personally, as,
generally, her majesty only receives tho
diplomats md the first few of the gen.
eral company and then turns over the
duty OF receiving to one OF her dnugh-
ters. The queens presence also was
the occasion for an unusually large as
semblage of the members of the dlplo-
matte corps.
The general display OF state carriages
and the gorgeous liveries, etc., delighted
the onloOkerS.
Neither the prince Of Wales nor the
duke of York attended the drawing
room. but the duchess Of York arrived
shortly before 3 o'clock In drenching
rain. which eifectunlly dampened the
enthusiasm of the crowds.
Inside the palace all the state apart
ments. including the ball room, were
opened owing to the exceptional at,
tendance.
Promptly at 3 o'clock Queen Victoria
was wheeled from her own apartments
to the throne room. followed by the
other royalties and conducted by the
great officers Of the household. The
function then began.
Mrs. Choatc. wife Of the United States
ambassador, presented Mrs. Parish. her
sister. and Miss Jennings, both Of Phil
adclphia: Miss Nora Neaf. of Chicago.
and Miss Mary Stillman. of New York.
In the diplomatic circle Mrs. Choate
presented Miss Choate and Miss Eliza
beth Choatc. niece Of Mrs. Choate,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Leishman. the wife
and daughter OF Mr.. ]. C. Lieshman. the
United States minister to Switzerland.
Mr.. Chonte and his son were among
those present.
