important changes in the days fundamen-

of probability to the predictions OF some
of the market critics that after the dis
burSements of interest and dividends have
begun in large volume there will be a
good advance in prices due to large in
vestment buying.
The Reading Report.
Aside from the advance in call money
rates, the only piece OF news worth men
tioning yesterday was the November
statement OF the Reading company. The
figures are most encouraging, as are the
total figures for the five months Of the
fiscal year to November 80. The surplus
for dividends for the five month period
was 81 200, 900, an increase from $500 1000,
or nearly 300 per cent. The statement
shows earned on the common stock some
thing like per cent.
The December figures, It is promised.
Will be even better than the November
showing. Moreover there is no reason
TO believe that the remaining winter and
spring months will show any diminution
in the earnings of the line from their
present big showing, as the systems
traffic is not affected by the shortage of
the corn crop or the small cotton crop.
The Outlook for Reading stocks.
The advance in the Reading securities
did not continue yesterday. They held
their own fairly well. but showed net de-
clines for the day. Apparently the people
that engineered tl.5 bulge in the stocks
On Monday did so to create enthusiasm
among the PUBLIC buyers and give them
selves a chance to unload on the fine
showing of the monthly report.
There is no reason to become dscOur-
aged over the outlook for the stocks,
however, on this account. The business
of the system is immense. and whatever
may be the dayto day fluctuations in the
securities, there seems to be very fair
chance that their general tendency viii
be upward for some time to come, if the
general market is in the least favorable.
In other words. they have as good a
chance as any other railway securities.

Sne of the ..DeaT' Humors.
The street is very seldom satisfied with
a simple reason like prosperity for a .
sharp and steady advance in price. Near (

NEW YORK. Dec. 31.-There was no
surprise today at the continued high rates
which prevailed for money on call, and
while they had the effect of holding the
trading in check, particularly during the
forenoon, they failed TO produce more than
irregular movements in prices. By far
the bulk of the days borrowing on call
was arranged for between 10 and 10 per
cent
The banks again made considerable
gains in actual cash, and while it is still
too early in the week to formulate def
mite ideas in regard to Saturdays bank
statement, it would appear probable that
the figures will show a further large ac-
cession 10 the reserves of the associated
banks.
Sterling Exchange Easier.
Sterling exchange was a shade easier
today the tone there being due to the
high rates prevailing for money, the pur-
chases of stocks in. this market for foreign
account. and to the conclusion, for the
time being Of remittances to Europe
Londons operations in this market were
on both sides of the account and at the
opening OF business foreign houses were
quite heavy sellers here. but subsequently
reversed their position and were buyers
on balance OF some 10000 shares.
Price movements throughout the fore
noon were shifting and uncertain and gem
orally toward lower level. st. Paul and
Union Pacific were particularly weak fea-
lures of the railway list, and in other
quarters OF the market there were sharp
declines in Sugar Refining and TO a less
extent in the Copper stocks.

to Reading second. 1t is said, too. that
there is a fair probability OF full divi-

ton.
Some Rock Island Gossip.
The street yesterday pointed ont what
has recently seemed to be an affinity be-
tween the movements OF the anthracite
coalers and Rock Island. They have ad-
vanced together on several occasions
this may be due to Morgan
buying in both the anthracites and Rock
Island, his activity naturally bringing
them both into prominence on the same
days. Not satisfied with this, however.
some brokers yesterday circulated the
story that there is another deal involv-
ing the Rock Island in a transcontinental
plan.
Rock Island is selling relatively some
what lower than the other high priced
which may, perhaps, induce some
commission buying, especially as the COM
Dany is making an excellent showing OF
and will probably do even better
with its Ell Paso branch.
Copper and Sugar.
Amalgamated Copper and Sugar were
weak at the opening but recovered some

BIG HOSPITAL SUNDAY FUND.
Collections This Year Likely TO Be Larger
Tlan Ever Before.

Contributions were taken up in all Of the
churches yesterday for the Hospital Sat
urday and Sunday Association. The total
amount collected will not be known for
several days, but George Macculloch Miller
expressed the opinion yesterday that the
amount would exceed that taken up last
year This was over $4,000
In one church l am sure the contribu-
tion will be larger this year" said Mr..
Miller. THAT one is st. Thomas's, the
rector OF which has taken great interest
in the collection. All the indications are
that the churches will contrib ute more
generously this year The weather is
fine to-day and consequently the church
attendance was large. Then, there seems
to he greater public interest in the move
ment to support the hospitals properly
1T seems TO be recognized that the people
Of this city have to support the hospitals
IL they want them TO remain. OF the forty
hospitals represented in this association Il,
only one, the New York Hospital, has a
sufficiently large endowment TO permit
it to keep expenses within its income. With
the rest the expenses exceed the income
and they are obliged to Use a part Of the
principal, II is to prevent this that this
association seeks TO raise sufficient con-
tributions TO avoid driving the hospitals
