YESTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET.

Closing Weak and Aetive-HIghost
 Prices Not Maintained.
 New York. Dec. 29.-The rise in call money rates to a ' per cent. maximum to-day marked the unmistakeable effect of the preparation for the annual settle ments, and made itself felt in the stock speculation. An effort was made to re- trieve the reaction in the late dealings by some very vigorous advances in the United States steel stocks and in Southern and Union Pacific, but the general list did not respond effectually to this treatment and prices fell back again, making the closing weak and &C., tive. The days net changes show some fair gains in the active list and some striking gains in the inactive speciality list. But the highest prices of the day were not held in any case, and the gains were wiped out in conspicuous stocks. The furry in the money market had more effect in spending the buying and the biddoing up process than In fnduc- ing any extensive liquidation. The fev- erish and excited tone of the cotton market probably reflected also a pro- cess of clearing up sor the year end settlements. It has scarcely been ex- pected the year would be turned with no perceDtible pinch in the money market especially since the revelation of the heavy loan expansion last week. The fact that requirements for January disbursements call certainly for $1S0, ,000,- 900 and up to an estimated maximum of $150, 100000 point to the inevitableness Of 8 temporary pinch while this huge sum is hanging hands. It was well un- derstood that while the sums accurnu- lated in preparation for these needs were lying on deposit and idle they were put out on call until they were wanted, with the clear prospect that loans would be called in very large volumes about the first of the year. But the market has advanced in face of these sureties in the conviction that the furry in money would certainly be brief and that the resources in hand would quick 1 ly return to the channels of the money market. The action of prices to-day brought some reconsideration to the speculative mind. The new bond offer ings os the week are accompanied by rumors Of still other offerings to come after January 1. Rumors were revived of a Rock Island refunding. Westing- house electric relapsed suddenly on the announcement of note issues to the ex- tent of $2,000,O00 to provide partly for a railroad purchase and the deposit of Chicago and Alton ps stock with au- thoritv to sell offered another prospect of new security issues. The New York Central requirements for terminal changes comes up easily for considera- tion in such a condition of sentiment. The movement of gold l1ither is still uninterrupted, a small engagement hav- ing been effected in London to-day, while San Francisco remitted to New York over million of gold received from Asia.
 Bonds were active and firm. Total sales par value, $2,995,0 ,000.
 United States old As coupon advanced A and the new As registered declined A 1 per cent. on call.

ated a panic and hundreds of longs threw their holdings overheard. Prom inent bulsl came to the support of the market at the decline, bidding for lareg blocks, forcing prices up 1S to 75 points. The landslide is said to have resulted from a report that the meeting of the English spinners had decided to run their mills on half time. This report, however, was not confirmed. Aside from this weak threat no trade could give any good reason for the break in prices. The market closed fairly steady, the net losses of the day being 49 to 54 points.

Some "cuss," who deserves little

many that Martin Harris, ST., died in
this county some years ago and was
buried i'm Charleston. There Is a move
on foot to have the remains removed
to Logan and laid beside those of his
brother, who is also buried here. A
suitable monument will be placed
over the remains here.
