MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Dec. 22.-There was a good
volume Of business in stocks today, and
tho market showed strength and breadth.
TIE large dealings and the notable
strength in few prominent securities
had notably sympathetic effect on the
whole market. The trading showed di-
minished animation as the day progressed
but the high level of prices attained was
pretty well held. although the closing
was slightly irregular by reason of a fe
-ersh movement in Sugar. The stocks
" hich led the market had individuGl
POUNDS for strength, mostly in the shape
ul rumors of probable increases in divi-
lrnds. The room traders on the Stock
T. change were somewhat skeptical and
ne advance and contested it in short
sales. There was evidence of activity on
and large professional operators were
supposed to be at work to life the level of
prices. Satisfaction was professed over
the status of Venezuelan questions and
confidence seemed to be felt in the money
situation. Concessions in rates for time
loans helped this confidence materially.
The 8 per cent rate was shaded for any
thing longer than 90 day periods. The con-
tinued downward course of sterling ex-
change gives rise to SuppOSitiOn of
some special development in the field not
yet disclosed. feature of the day was
trading in international mercantile ma
rine common stock in the outside market,
the first recorded business in this country
in the rev shipping cOmpany's common
stock. The bond market was broad and
strong. Total sales, par value, $3,02O,OOo.

The transfer is reported of the Lowell
House property at Washington, N. H..
from Edwin Gould of New York, to
Edward r. Otheman of the same city.
The consideration is said to be in the
neighborhood of $500, Mr.. Gould TAX
ing back a mortgage for $4,000. The
Lowell House was formerly managed
by Jasper T. Goodwin. who sold it to
Mr. Gould in 1899. 1t is situated on
the main street of Washington, and
has Accommodations for about $50
guests. Although the hotel has not
been opened during Mr.. Gould's owner
ship, we understand that he has spent
considerable money in enlargments and
repairs. Mr.. Otheman, we understand,
is not hotel man, but has purchased
the property for speculation or in
vestment.

Penobscot County. Burnham c.
T,ueworthy VS.. Cyrus w. French, Jr.
Bescript. Spear, ].
An action of assumpsit to recover
balance on account. The case comes
up on motion and exceptions.
The case shows that the plaintiff on
October Is, 1900, gave the defendant a
receipt acknowledging the payment Of
$50, 536.O5 on an order and the balance
1885 in cash. On October %, the plain
tiff gave the defendant another receipt
for $50.
The plaintiff claimed that the last
receipt was a duplicate Of the first and
that no money was paid to him on this
receipt. The defendant claims that the
last receipt is in accordance with the
fact and that he did pay to the plain
tiff $50 on this receipt.
The plaintiff offered testimony, which
was admitted, to show that the latter
receipt was given without cOnsidera-
ton and was duplicate of the first
receipt. To the admission of this evil
dence the defendant excepted. But the
evidence was clearly admissible.
The only question of fact submitted
to the jury was the contention of the
parties as stated above, whether one
receipt was a duplicate of the other.
The jury found for the plaintiff. The
verdict is not SO clearly wrong as to
warrant the court in setting it aside.
Motion and exceptions Overruled.

Don't think because you have taken
many remedies in vain that your case
is incurable.
You have not taken Hoods Sarsa-
parilla.
1t has cured many seemingly hope

tism, kidney complaint, dyspepsia and
general debility-many cases that may
have been worse than yours.

for others it can do for you.
