NEW YORK, jan 2-The strength de-
veloped in todays stock market in tbs
degree to which it extended was sur
prise to traders. Last weeks very con-
siderable advance in prices offered invit-
ing profits and it was expected that sell
ing on this account would be sufficient to
seed the new demand. TIE selling to take
profits in the first hour OF the trading
was IN fact on cry large scale, sharp
advances at the opening helping along
the process. Last weeks persistent de-
mand and the large gains in prices we. e
paradox in Wall street eyes, and the
professional traders were very persistent
in selling the market on any advances
This element was watchful today for any
opportunity to swoop upon the market
and break prices TO point ct which they
could buy in at profit. When the
profit takings became manifest they made
vigorous attack on Brooklyn Transit,
forcing it down over three points and
bringing the rise in the general market to
halt. So far The course of the market
was about as had been expected.
The tone Of the money market was Arm
at the opening and the demand incident
to the active speculation in stocks pushed
the money rate up to IL per cent during
the day. Thus all things seemed to con-
firm the expectations of the reactionists,
who, however, failed entirely TO properly
gauge the outside demand for stocks.
This absorbed the sales tc take profits
and then proceeded to swallow up all
other offerings available. The bear party
became alarmed at the proportions of
the advance and FASTENED to cover. The
money rate ran down late In the day to
per cent and the tone Of stocks became
buoyant. The grangers showed the
largest advances owing to the rebound
from last weeks weakness, due to the
ST. Paul and Burlington statements Of
earnings, and the trunk lines including y.
& O., Norfolk & Western, and the great
trunk lines, were all notably strong. So
were the central traffic lines, such as P.
c., c. & st. L., Cleveland. Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis, and the Lake
Erie G. Western stocks. Chesapeake d
Ohio failed to respond.
There were sufficient points of weak
ress in the bend market TO give an tr-
regular appearance, although the gen.
eral tone vas strong Total sales, par
value 81 ,255, COO. U. s. IS declined rs In

A GHOST IN PARIS.
Proved to Be a Swindler Much Wanted
by the Police.

NJ. Cordicr. Il retired merchant o.
Paris, much given to consulting spir-
It's in emergencies, has been trickcd in
a rather amusing manner by an ann
ateur ghost, who resided in rooms con-
tiguous to those Of the exclusives,
man. The latter lately told friend,
and acquaintanccS that he had mel
anchoIy message from spiritland to
the effect that his son, who traded in
Tonqun. had been murdered by pi-
rates. The dishonest ncighbor, hear
ing this, knocked one night AT NJ.
Cordicr's wall and announced that he
was a spirit who wanted money 70"
ma,sc. to be said in certain church
for the rcpose of the soul of the re
tired merchants son. \ sum Of ICE
franc, was required. and the phan-
tom asked NJ. Cordicr to be gooo
enough to put it under the first chair
on the left side Of the Virgins altar
in the Church of St. Sulpicc, ltap-
pear, that NJ, cordicr deposited sew
eral donations for the ghost undcr the
altar. and the money was regularly
taken away. In thcmcantimc, the soa
supposed to be dead came home from
Tonquin unframed and unhurt. The
young man had, in fact, no adventure
with pirates, and was engaged in very
prosaic business matters during hi
stay in the far east. The son laid a
trap for the ghost, who was invited hy
Cordicr. senior, to walk into his flat
