built; compared with 24O, of 61,923 gross
tons for the previous year.
This falling Off in construction on the
Pacific coast, in spite of the fact that
the Alaskan trade next year will be very
large, is due partly to the belief that
American merchant vessels hitherto en-
ployed as transports to Manila will be
released, and enter the coasting trade In
the spring.

Free Masons of lodges of the sixth and
seventh Masonic districts in st. Pauls
chapel. The Masonic services at the
burial OF Washington were held in the
church Dec. 81 1899. Today's services
were held at o'clock. The church
was filled far beyond it's seating ca
pacity. The service was conducted by
the Rev. DR.. G. Van de Water, grand
chaplain of the grand lodge, assisted by
the Rev. Montague Geer, the Rev. Rob-
ert Morris Kemp and the Rev. j. 7.
Crosby. With the exception of the
Christmas greens there was no special
decoration Washington's pew was
draped with the national flag and was
unoccupied. DR.. Van de Water preached
a brief sermon, in which he referred
to the life of Washington, the influence
of his life on the American nation and
the lessons taught by his career.
Memorial services Were also held by
the lodges of the fourth Masonic dis
trict in the grand lodge room of the Ma
sonic temple this afternoon. Grand Mas.
ter Phillips told of the services held 100
years ago in St. Paul's chapel. On the
table was the Bible, preserved by ST.

took the oath of office at his first inau-
guration in this city. The Bible was
the one then In use in st. Johns lodge.

The improved tone of the stock exchange
continues in spite of three additional fail
ures Yesterday. making eight for the past
account. 1t is fact that many lame
ducks would have gone under had they
not been assisted. The failures, however,
are of small firms, whose liabilities are
not important. Investment buying now
predominates in all departments, and
speculative business is restricted TO the
lowest level, which will probably be the
case as long as the uncertainties of the
war In South Africa continues to rule the
market. Prices have generally improved,

Feature in the Weeks Trading
Money Market Easier, and Pros
poets Are Good.
There Is no accurate comparison OF
the wheat market for the two weeks pos.
sible, owing to the holiday recesses. Fig
ures arc not necessary, however, to show
that there has been improvement in con-
ditions so far as the general grain mar
ket is concerned. Prices of wheat have
fiuctuated somewhat during the week
closing Saturday, but there is reason to
believe that the future has more in store
for betterment than for a falling off in
strength. The only bear news of Sat
urday in Chicago was report to the
effect that the visible would show gains.
but even that failed of verification and
had little If any effect on the market.
Wheat Saturday closed shade higher
and firmer in tone.
CORN AND OATS.
Corn has ruled fairly steady and hrm
throughout the week. There have been
but few changes in quotations from day
to day, but such as have occurred nave
been in the direction of advances. The
demand for corn has been good and hold-

paid for holding off, There has been
little disposition to make sacrifices In
the direction of meeting imaginary fu-
ture possibilities of a weakening or the
market.
Oats have done fully as well, If not
better. than corn, and at the close Sat
urday an advance of an eighth was
recorded.
STOCKS ARE STRONGER.
While the stock market was not so
strong Saturday as it had been on sew
eral previous days, yet there was lnsuA-
ficient falling off in prices TO lnoicate
that there would be a setback similar TO
the one that came with the panicky fea-
lures that were produced the previous
week in Wall street. Friday there was
general advance, some of the better nked
stocks advancing more points than at
any time for many weeks. During the
week Baltimore & Ohio was a prominent
feature in the market, and the bull ele-
ment came out of the changes with col
ors flying. Some of the gains added dur
ing the week were wiped out Saturday,
but the stock closed at a higher hgure
than at the termination Of the previous
week. All other stocks were IN better
demand, with prices showing strong.
The money market Is in much easier
condition, and the outlook is that 1t will
remain So At least there is no longer
fear of a recurrence of the tghtness
that caused so much CONSERVATION the
previous week.

ton Of this demand Is based upon the

further decline. This gives ground for the
hope that the export movement OF gold
