STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Nov 30-There was narrow
which resulted in only small net changes,
except in special cases There was some
depression manifest during the early part
of the day and this was aggravated by,
II 1t was not entirely due, 10 a disturb
ance Of sentiment III London over the
reiterated rumors of trouble between
Japan and Russia. Professional traders
endeavored TO extend the decline here,
but thy Succeeded in bringing out little
stock and so covered their short con-
tracts.
The market of the latter part OF the day
was decidedly firm, but the movement
was small. owing to the dizziness of the
dealings. The prevailing premiums on
some of the industrial stocks in the
loan crowd kept the shorts uneasy. Es-
pecially in some OF those stocks which
were sold most freely last week. Shorts
in Pennsylvania covered freely.
The rise in the money rate to per
cent was practically ignored in the trad
ing, as it was attributed to the arrange
nents for the December settlements,
which funds, it was expected, would re-
turn in a few days to the money mar
ket. The various movements in the
money market We're on a large scale,
but SO nearly Offset each other as to
have little net result. Te!egraphic trans
fer of $4,000 was made to San Fran
cisco and authority exists for the trans
fer tomorrow to The same point of s.. CO.,
600 Such a movement is not unusual al
this period of the year. Last year IN
the week ending December the sum of
1850, 600 was telegraphed through the sub
treasury to San Francisco. The require
ment is for the crops. Arrivals of foreign
gold to figure in next Saturdays bank
statement already amount to over $l,50G.-
GEO. leaving upward of a million engaged
previous TO today. but not received. In
addition, about $1,000, go was taken in
the London market for New Nork today.
There is a feeling of assurance, there
fore. against more stringency. But there
is not much expectation of any consid
cradle rise in the money market during
the month of December, as funds are
likely TO be retained at the interior over
the yearly settlements. The demand for
crop moving purposes however, is be
lieved TO be over for the present. The
market closed exceedingly DULL but steady
and near the best.
Little was done in the bond market but
the tone was firm. Total sales, par
value, s2G24,0oo. United States As de-
chned Il per cent on the last call.

HOGS Fifteen HIGHER
Light Receipts Which Is Rule
for Monday.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.35
Cattle Supply Mostly Feeders
of Good Quality.

The hog market went up yesterday like
n rocket propelled by a powerful ex-
plosive. Provisions were also higher and
that fact convinced hog sellers that the
strong upward tendency of the market
was not altogether due to light receipts.
There is a pretty widespread impression
that the light hogs coming to market
means shortage of hog products later
and that is of itself a very good excuse
for higher prices. The wagon deliveries
came in early and they were sold ten
cents higher, but tine car hogs went 121l
and u cents higher. There were about
eight car loads reported to arrive after
the market closed and they will all get
the full benefit of the rise because the
buyers viii take this morning at yester-
days prices without any regard to todays
market. They Were all sold last night,
but the price viii be fixed when the buy
ers see them this morning.

have already been built and this is the
first important step of building the local
lines on from Monongah to clarksburg.
Tie firm of Frank Biodgctt & Co.,

!sfactory manner. 1t was commenced
early last spring and has been rushed to
completion. As is the NIonongah line
the new route is built more like u steam
than an electric road for the reason that
the company hopes to do an immense
freight business in the future.

Henry Cohen, manager and owner of
the Clarksburg Junk company, was &C.
quilted Monday morning in Squire N. S.
Riley's court Of the charge preferred
against him in warrant sworn out by
w. G. Hester, accusing him Of the theft
of copper still valued at $50, and The
warrant was dismissed.
Mr.. Cohen showed to the satisfaction
of the court that he had purchased the
still without knowledge Of its being Gtol.
en- property and that there was no guilt
on his part. The purchase, it appears
from the facts produced by Mr.. Cohen,
was made last Friday morning. The
still was cut in pieces before it came
into Mr. Cohen's POSSESSION. The phr-
chase is said to have been made from
boy, whose identity the interested par
ties refuse to disclose at this time. 1t is
believed he has left the city.
As will be remembered, the still was
stolen from Mr.. Kester's yard at his
home and it was found in freight car
here, which was about to be shipped to
Cleveland, Ohio Mr.. Cohen, after buying
1t, had placed it in the car for the pur.
pose OF shipping it to that place to, sell
it. There being no definite knowledge
as to the theft, Mr.. Cohen was charged
with having stolen it, because it was
found in his possession, and the burden
of proof was on him to show where and
how he got it. Doing this to the salts
faction of the court, the warrant against
him was dismissed, as has already bNn
stated.
While the still was valued at $50, Mr..
Cohen paid but SO for it.
