New York, Dec. 31.-The stock market

United States Steel stocks started up

On the other hand, Detroit Southern pre-
ferred advanced and Westinghouse Elec-

The market was dull and sluggish but
firm. A rise OF IL. in Anlalgamated Cop

Steel Spring preferred and Minneapolis
st. Paul & Sault Ste Marie lost point
and Westinghouse Electric reacted ~
Bonds were steady at noon.
The uninteresting character Of specula-
ton caused a number OF room traders to
withdraw entirely from the market. Tri-
vial fluctuations only marked the dealings
in the favored stocks.
The absence OF pressure rather than
any demand caused fr1ner market in
the face of an 8 per cent call money rate.
Amalgamated ruled dull around the high
est, and there was some buying of Sugar,
Atchison and the Pacific. A few minor
stocks moved point or more up and
down The Colorado & Southern stocks
rose l to 2.
Atchison was run up IL in the late trad
ing, with some heavy individual transac-
tions. Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha rose 51A, Consolidated Gas 2A

Remarkable Sea Monster.

A remarkable sea monster was re
Gently caught in Port Fairy bay by
some Fishermen. 1t measured nine
feet six inches in length, had a tail
like that of a screw tail-shaft, no
teeth, q nose like rhinoceros. head
like az elephant. two dorsal fms, four
side irs and two steering fms. The
skin was black and very soft. The
most experienced fishermen say the
specimen is altogether new to them.
They cannot hazard a guess as to the
species. The fish has been sent on to
the Melbourne museum.
