STOCK MARKET INA
STATE OF HOLIDAY INACTIVITY
Mysteries of the Boom Climax Have Disappeared
and Season Of CaImness Prevails.
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The stock mar
ket has lapsed into state of holiday
inaction. Transactions have fallen in
volume away below the 1,0OO,o 600 share
a day point. The hysterical symptoms
which characterized the market after
and preceding the boom climax have
entirely disappeared, and in lieu there
of reigns a season of calmness and
price stability. Quotations have been
on rising scale and there is a signal
scarcity of stocks Offering For the
past several years there has been a
sharp advance in the market the last
of December, which the talent" at
tributes largely to a desire on the part
of the great insurance companies 10
wind up the year with favorable QUO
tation showing for the investment lines.
The rank and file of traders anticipate
a similar demonstration this year, and
the improvement noted recently may
in a sense discount the usual final
squirt. Trade conditions are extreme
ly favorable in every part of the coun-
try. and railroads report satisfactory
earnings. ..t,s

WARE d. LELAND'S
weekly Stock Letter.

New York. Dec. 24.-The stock mar
ket this week has been rather dull and
heavy caused by the approaching hol-
idays, and has been more of a waiting
one than anything else. Sentiment is
wonderful thing in Wall street. There
has been no radical change in the in
dustrial and financial situation. Con-
ditions are still improving. Railroads
and industrials are still making big
profits and paying extra dividends, and
the outlook for next year continues
bright. Yet three weeks ago buyers
were falling over each other to pur-
chase stocks from solo points above
the present level, whereas now no one
seems to want them. The explanation
is plain. Those who were buyers three
weeks ago were not investors, but were
small traders operating on slender
margins. That more than anything
else caused the sharp break in prices
and shook them from the market. Mr.
Lawson is now out of the way, and has
sunk to the dime novel level and sends
fake kilograms to himself and furnishes
sensational papers with fairy stories
about the market and attempts to pois-
on him. As a rule, prices advance In
January caused by investment de-
mands that arises in connection with
the interest and dividend disperses
About $150,000000 will be dispersed on
this account next month, and the larg-
est part of this will be invested in Sc
curities. Generally all the large life
insurance companies go into the mar
ket at that time of the year, and that
should hold it up. For the past four
months we have been very bullish on
the stock market. and advised out
friends to buy it, and we see no rea-
son to change our mind. Do not for
get that prices are a long ways from
being inflated yet, and there are many
bargains in the market.
Because prices have had a setback
and shoe-string spectators have been
frozen out, that is no reason to look
for bearish market. Stocks will go
much higher, and until conditions ma
terially change there can be no genu-
inc bear market. We strongly recon-
mend the Steel stocks Also American
Car Foundry. Among the grangers
Missouri Pacific and Rock Island look
particularly good. Southern roads
should have an advance. Louisville and
Nashville and Southern Railway will
undoubtedly sell higher. We have in
formation that A. d. I. american Dis
trict Telegraph Company, which is
controlled by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, will be put on a per
cent. basis We should not be sur
prised to see that stock sell as high
as so in the next few months There
Is nothing in sight to scare an inyes-
tor II he VIII hold stocks long enough.

ers have been working on the scheme

deed, dating back from the death of
John w. Mackay, although nothing
very positive was done until quite a
while thereafter, the part of wisdom
being not to press young Clarence
Mackay too hard in the beginning. Lat
terly the Mackay people have presented
a rather friendly front to those who
have interested themselves in bring
ing about a consolidation, and are list
ening with patience and interest to the
discussion of various plans which have
been Matched up for unihcation. The
main objection raised against the COM
bination is the expressed fear that it
would precipitate action at Washing
ton for a government telegraph sys-
tenn or government ownership of exist
ing properties. The latter alternative
is not as awesome to the telegraph COM
panies as might be imagined. Jay
Gould always entertained the belief
that the telegraph companies would
eventually lodge in government control,
the only point with him being the
price. He was always afraid that when
the time came the government would
not make the appraisement high
enough to suit.

keene's Copper Deal.
Lawson accuses Mr.. Keene of having
sold $4,000 shares of Copper for H. H.
Rogers William Rockefeller and other
insiders of Amalgamated Copper. Ev-
erybody has known for two or three
years that Mr.. Keene most successful
ly marketed 100000 shares $4,000 O00)
or more for that party. and that he
was able to obtain par or above for
the securities. He did the job cleverly
and to the entire satisfaction of his
clients. His compensation was not
wholly satisfactory and the deal ap-
parently left an unpleasant taste in his
mouth; not until recently have he and
Mr.. Rogers resumed former friendly re-
lations. 1t was on account of his ex-
traordinary abilities as a manipulation
and great market general that j. Pier
pont Morgan picked out Keene to pro-
tect the Steel stocks during the first
year of the history of the big trust
and to incidentally unload 1880 900
shares ($12S000, 000) of syndicate stock.
For him to have performed success
fully that herculean task without re-
sorting to every known manipulative
device would have been an utter i'm
possibility. 1t was as much his boun-
den duty to employ to the uttermost
his magnificent abilities in that line
for the benefit of his clients as it would
be for a lawyer to do his best for a
client in court of justice. According
to the accepted ethical code of the
street, there is nothing in this in the
slightest degree to reflect upon the
honor of Mr.. Keene. and in view OF
this acknowledged fact it is a little odd
that the great market stategist should
have been thrown into a spasm of mo-

Four New subways.

Plans which have been practically
approved foreshadow the construction
of four additional subways in Greater
New York within the next few years,
the Improvements to cost between $780,
100000 and SIPS, 100000. Two of these
tubes will be through Manhattan Is
land and two will be in Brooklyn.
There is to be an East Side subway
and a West Side subway to supple
ment the one which now extends north
and south midway of Manhattan Is
land. The people who were at first
inclined to complain about the subway
are beginning to like that method of
travel and the line is being increasing
ly patronized. 1t is found to be a
convenient, safe and pleasant mode of
travel, with distinct advantages over
the elevated and surface lines during
stormy and cold weather. Incidental
ly, all the various classes of traction
securities are holding firm, although for
the present speculative interest in them
has measurable subsidized. The finan-
cial plans for consolidation of the sew
eral systems promise eventually to
establish them on considerably higher
level.

Resumed 4 Per Cent. On Savings.
A majority of the savings banks of
New York have resumed the payment
of per cent. interest on deposits. With
hundreds of millions of dollars in the
vaults of the national and state banks
earning legitimately not more than ~
to 312 per cent, it seems more than
passing strange that the savings in
stitutiOns can afford to pay per cent.
on deposits. Great curiosity has been
aroused as to how the savings bank
can afford to pay this high rate and
the query is heard not infrequently:
Are the savings banks managers be-
coming inoculated with the virus of
frenzied finance and departing from
the stereotyped methods of conservat-
ism in the handling of the accumulated
surplus of the thrifty multitudes?'
With the great banking institutions
of the city buying deposits at figures
which on their face show a loss the
situation is sufficiently serious to in
vite unfavorable comment, but for saw
ings banks to outbid the other institu-
lions for deposits seems almost SIMS
ter. The action of the savings banks
in this respect is being severely criti-
cisco III conservative quarters.
Progress of Rock Island.
The listing of its preferred and COM
mon stock on the London Stock Elk
change marks another step in the pro-
gress of Rock Island. The securities
of the new company are now in the
international list and their market po-
sition is materially strengthened there
by. Large blocks of stock are already
held in Europe, and with the improved
trading advantages given by the Lon
don listing, foreign interest will be in
creased. Since the new management
assumed control Of the property near
ly three years ago it has pursued even
ly and inflexibly policy of strict con-
servatism. Its financial direction has
been singularly free from the faint Of
speculation and 1t has gained steadily
in the estimation of the banking and
investment interests.
