New York stock. Money and Grain
Market Rcview

Nav York. December "A favorite
psradox in Wall street is That surprise
IA always expected In sugar. In the pur-
suit OF their professional avocation, STOCK
traders are always trying to disoount
what they expect and the consequence is
that in sugar they are Invariably sur
prlssd and disappointed. Today was no
exception. Action on the quarterly divi-
dend has been looked for at any time Tor
several days past, and the news as TO
what the dividend would be, has varied
all the way from an increase in the regu-
lar rate from / "a to 2 per cent up 70 the
regular l94 and an extra disbursement OF
two per cent The speculation has gone
on right merrily on that basis. Ane
price was run up to 1856 this morning
when It was said that no action would De
taken on the dividend today. Consequent
ly the announcement a little later that
the directors had met and declared divi-
dend of only 5-4 FER cent came Ike
bombsheIi upon the speculative eontin-
gent. In their rush to save losses, they
forosd the price down by rapid stages'
The stock touched III Ia In the last
hour. The violent slump in this stock
had depressing influence on the whole
market, bnt the movement elsewhere at
no tine approached Generalization
In fact there were points Of siren 9Th
hers and there in the railroad list, notably
In the Erie stocks and in the low priced
southwesterns. In the early dealings the
principal weakness was shown by the
specialties and especially the steel stocks
The pressure to sell the railroads grew
steadily during the latter part OF the day
and large number of them show net
losses Of about a point The general
weakness while partly due to sympathy
with tire violent decline in sugar was I'M
doubtedIy based for the most part on
anxiety as to the ability OF the money
mar ket to carry speculative accounts safe
ly over the new year. A noticeable feat
ure OF the situation is the steadiness OF
sterling exchange. The foreign selling OF
our securities, which was continued to-
day to the extent of about 5000 shares,
Is supposed to account for this The
opinion is expressed among some foreign
authorities that this process has teen car
risd SO far as to leave New York without
future power to draw gold from European
sources.
The bond market shared in the reac-
tionary tendency of the stock market,
but was varied by new points of strength

Conscience or PaIicx1

A certain fond mother of Memphis
is worrying herself over an incident
which occurred few days since. She
is trying TO decide whether her 4-year-
old son, who figured so prominently
In the incident, made display of deep
penitenee or whether he worked q
icon" game on her. Some time ago
the boy In the case was presented with
toy hammer, which he appreciated
very much. He appeared before his
mother about 80 minutes after receiv-
ing the hammer, wearing a woebe-
gone expression.
Mamma" he said. 81 feels awful
bad"
"Why. what is the matter. my sonT
asked his mother.
81 feels bad right here, mamma" the
lad answered. putting his hand on his
heart.
"Well, tell mamma what 1t is, son."
Il feels like do when you are going
to whip me-" He was whimpering by
now, and his mother was so sorry for
him that the tears were yelling up into
her eyes.
'What have you done, darlingT
"I'ye hammered hole in your bed
stead" he said and burst into tears.
He was not whipped, but his mother
is wondering whether he will be a
preacher or a wise gazabo. Men,

Tnnrht Him nLeason.

In the life of Henry Bradley Plant is
a story which shows that mercy may
sometimes temper justice to good effect
by awakening in an offender loyalty
which he has never before shown.
Mr. Plant was one day travelling in a
baggage war when he saw an express
man, in handling a box marked
"Glass. turn it wrong side up.
''Herer' ne called to the man. THAT
box is marked Glass and should be
kept glass side up as indicated =
''Oh, / know it's marked Glass, =
said the expressman, '.but / never pay
any attention to that. .
Mr. Plant said no more, but later.
when the superintendent of the Office
was alone with the man. he asked him:
do you know who that gentleman
was who spoke to you about the box
marked Glass =
mo, sir .
"Well. that was Mr.. Plant. /"
''Then that means my dismissal. =
al think it does. shall have to dis
miss you
Later the superintendent said to Mr..
Plant, Il shall dismiss that man. OK
course -
"No. said the president, don't dis
charge him. Call him into your Office
and impress it upon him that that is
not the way the company does It's busi
ness. He won't forget it. I"
He did not forget it. No more loyal
employee was to be found in the COM
