stock Market.

New York, Dec. lS.--Last weeks exs
perience in the stock market was a severe
one to show such small improvement in
the money situation. 1t is evident that d.
large part of the money called in has
been put out again, under the urgent
stress of circumstances. 4 large amount
is known TO have been transferred to Bos.
ton TO strengthen the monetary situation
there. The local money outlook was the
determining cause of the late break in
prices and withdrawal of support.
1t is many months since the stock n.a-
ket has been subjected to so drastic
liquidation as that OF the past week. At
intervals it was met with some aggressive
support by friends of different sto:ks and
the professional bear operators have oc-
casionally iclosed out their short contracts
at the inviting profits offered, but at other
times all other support seemed withdrawn.
while heavy stocks of securities were be
ing forced to sale by the wiping out CT
margins, competent estimates placing the
figures in the hundreds of millions. As
a consequence credit facilities We're heavily
cut and stocks placed as collateral were
forced to sale for the protection Of money
lenders. The bear operators were very
bold and aggressive and offered prices
down in a seemingly reckless manner
wherever any indication could be had of
large speculative holdings. In some of
the industrials, which have been mauipu
lated by speculative pools, the violent de-
cline in prices dislodged some enormous
holdings and the bears reaped sensational
profits. The combination of circumstances
threw the market into conditions border
ing on panic several times during the
week.
The markets quick response to any de-
velopment in the London money market
pointed strongly to that as the seat of
trouble.

New York, Dec lS.--A special from
Washington says:
General Otis has now in custody many
important persons who were connected
with. the so-called Filipino government.
but no decision as to their future dis
dent.
A member OF the cabinet says that the
time has not yet come when the tate Of
these men could be determined. 1t is pro-
posed to treat them humanely and with
consideration, and it is believed such a
policy will lead other Filipinos to sur
render. Any Filipino caught directly i'll
unprovoked murder or looting will be
summarily dealt with.
1t was reported this afternoon that Gen
eral Otis had sent to Secretary Root a
communication from prominent Filipinos
which was read at the cabinet meeting to-
day saying there was no organized IN
surgent force and that the army had been
broken up into small bands plundering
and numbering n-combatants, and sug-
costing the employment of natives in gar
risoning towns. 1t is said at the war de
partment that the quota of troops allowed
by law is complete and no additional ma
tives can be enlisted. General Otis will
soon have an ample number OF men to dc
garrison duty, and it is to the interest o
this government to have Americans rather
than Filipinos garrison the country fol
the present.
