CLOSE DULL BUT STRONG

New York, Dec. 2s.-waT Street spent
a dull day and took great comfort there
from as a grateful relief from the pain
full activities OF last week. The fact that
the stock exchanges In London and In
lGermany were closed had an influence
toward dizziness in view Of the great i'm
portance attached to the course of events
at these centers. The London market,
particularly, will be eagerly scanned to-
morrow to get an idea OF the progress
of the settlement, which has caused
grave anxiety. The strength shown by
international stocks in this market was
an indication of confidence in a quist
settlement in London. The London mar
ket for Americans has become so narrow
and is so subject TO manipulations that
the cable quotations in other parts OF
the market were awaited before conclu-
sions were drawn. Sterling exchange in
New York was without quotable change
and tomorrow's steamers take only a
single shipment OF gold, amounting TO
$500 go. The sterling exchange rate In
Paris reacted fully ga confines, indicat-
ing a notable relaxation in the London
pressure on that center. Here the money
These various indications awaken some
confidence that the stress Of the prepa-
rations for the January first disburse-
rnents Of dividends and interest is past.
The depositing of the internal revenue
payments in banks here continues and
the course of interior exchange is in IA
vor of New oYrk. The quiet course OF
events in Boston today was also viewed
with much satisfa ction from Wall Street.
The consequence was market which dis
played many examples OF marked
strength although the dealings were very
dull throughout. That the demand was
considerably made up from the short IN
terest was evident from the large gains
shown by stocks which have been recent
sufferers from the bear manipulation.
There was some professional bidding up
Of prices in opposition to the bears, as
there was an appreciate demand through
commission houses. The higher range OF
prices did not bring any severe pressure
on liquidation having fair grounds for
confidence that forced liquidation at an
end. The market receded at intervalS 10
a semi-stagnant condition, but the closing
was strong. though very dull. A number
of specialties showed gains ranging from
to points and many railroads are
point or more higher Closing prices were

TIGHTS AT A FAIR.

a dispatch from Sausalito, CAL, says
Two little actresses, ,arrayed in heshlings
that set oil their figures to the best ad-
vantage possible, lave succeeded in
creating q scandal in local church cir
cles that seems TO grow sweeter in the
mouth Of Dame Grundy with the laps Q
Of time. For time the tale wa,
smothered, but the details have frally
leaked out to the keen embarrassment
of q pillar of the local Congregational
churcn, who has since been placed in
the role OF black sheep, though entirely
innocent OF any intentional wrong do
ing.
a few evenings ago Congregational
church fair was held at what is known
as the Exposition grounds in the north
ern part of the town in order TO assist
in paying the salary of the pastor. Will
laetz Johansen, regarded as one OF the
pillars OF the church, who is employed
in large metropolitan dry goods house,
took keen interest in the affair, and
informed some of his colleagues in the
establishment where he is employed
that he would like 20 engage talent for
the occasion. 4 few of these young
gentlemen thought it would be good
scheme to put up job" on their pious
friend, and, telling him they would rem
der what aid they could, engaged the
services Of TWO young ladies who could
be depended upon to create a sensation
when the time arrived.
Mr.. Johansen was informed in few
days that Miss Patterson aud Miss Ar
kanius, together with one J. L. Barr,
would furnish some Irish specialties"
at the fair, and the delighted church
member was instrumental in having this
feature of the programme given prom
inent place on the circulars issued. In
addition he took the three performers
to MS residence on the evening Of the
entertainment and escorted them TO the
exposition grounds.
Everything went smoothly until the
Irish speciality" part OF the programme
was reached, Mr. Barr and his two
female companions marched out and
did cake walk. The ladies were ar
reyed in tights and executed some fan
cy dancing on the side that would have
been heartily applauded at vaude
vile entertainment. With freezing
glances in the direction of Johansep,
whose face was the color OF boileo
lobster, the ladies present sedately
marched from the nall.
on, ii only had bouquet, would
throw it on the stage" facetiously re-
marked a young gentleman present as
be departed with his sweetheart.
And if had brick | would do the
same thing" answered the mortified
damsel.
A strenuous effort was made to keep
the affair from reaching the general
public and Mr.. Johansen has been kept
busy making explanations for week;
1t is asserted that his colleagues found
the story entirely too good for q limited
circle.
