Brooklyn tonight. said that 1t was true
that the company had ordered all its
factories closed. He said that 1t was
done on account of the present corner

company did not care to purchase corn
while the corner is on, but would wait
until the market became stable. He
said 1t was simply case of business
protection, and he thought that the
shut down would not last long.

tailed comparison Of the methods of
British and American rolling mills. with
no fattering deductions for Great Bril-

low the example of the Americans by
combining. and also by only manufac-
turing at points most advantageous for
shipment and using the most economic
cal methods the manufacture OF iron
and steel would become a lost art In
Great Britain.
The chairman, in announcing Mr.. Car

than in any time. The comparative
ease in call money rates, the announce

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Market Closes Active and Buoy
ant Near the Top.

New York, Dec. 26.-The bears in the
stock market beat a precipitate re-
treat in the later hours of the days
session at the Stock Exchange, and
their eager rush to buy in order to
cover short contracts developed a
fairly buoyant condition before the
close. There were some relapses in the
more volatile stocks, but the closing
generally was strong and active and
near the top level.
The volume of dealings showed a
material increase over that prevailing
for the last few days. The bears were
inclined to continue their campaign
when the market opened this morning
and they affected a number of serious
in-roads upon prices. But they soon
became aware that their offerings were
being absorbed in a volume and conf
dence which sounded warning.
Sugar continued to be the leader of
the market but by no means in so over
whelming proportion as of late. The
vigorous support accorded this stock
and the success achieved in driving the
bears to cover in it were important
factors in turning the general market
upward and in swelling the demand for
other stocks to an extent which les
sened Sugars proportion of dealings in
the market. The bears in the stock
showed growing evidence of acute dis
tress and of having over-extended their
accounts, apparently in the confidence
that the recent experience in copper
was to be repeated in Sugar. Rumors
got abroad that negotiations were in
pr ogress for patching up truce in the
trade war. There was a growing sus-
picion that while both crude and re-
fined sugar are selling at very low
prices, the margin between crude and
refined is still sufficient to afford
