Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Dec. 28.-The organized
speculation in control of the stock
market showed the courage of its
conviction today by buying stocks ana
putting up prices in face of rates for
call money at 100 per cent. and above.
Large amounts We're loaned on the
stock exchange at 10 per cent. and
funds were placed outside the ex-
change at 125 per cent. SO long as
money could be had at these terms
the rates were determined not to be
prohibitive of the holding of stocks
on margin, and they were paid rather
than sell out stock holdings. They
ere paid also on the assumption
that the high rate may hold or even
be exceeded on the remaining days
of the week. The argument was heard
amongst speculative operators that
this yearly rate of interest was Well
worth paying for the day or two until
the end of the year on the prospect
that prices were likely to advance IN
larger proportion than he dally
amount of interest represented at
this rate. 1t was asserted with eager
enthusiasm also that these days OF
stringent money would ofIer the oiiiy
opportunity for securing stocks at the
present level of prices. There was
something of a scramble to unload
stocks during the early transaction
in the market owing to an apprehen-
sion that it would be found impossible
to borrow money on any terms. PROB
ably the liquidation thus affected
caused some relief in the money ten
sion. Some banking funds were made
available from outside sources. The
strictly local character of the strin-
gency is a remarkable feature of the
| episode. Money on call at nearby
cities continues to rule at not over
| 6 per cent. There was an urgent de-
mand for time loans for the shorter
periods as we'll as for call loans anu
the commissions demanded to secure
so and 80 day funds made the In
| terest rate equivalent to per cent.
The late relapse in the money rate
| to six per cent was of no Signlflcance,
most demands having been satisfied
| before that rate was touched but the
speculative confidence was maintained
and the market closed active and
strong. Anaconda Mining was SEN
sational feature and other copper and
smelling stocks were conspicuous, but
such stocks as Union Pacific and New
York Central kept UP the representa-
ton of the standard railroad list in
i the days movement.

New York, Dec. 2S.--Buying in the
dry goods market today was of the
retail character, but it was evident
that the smaller buyers throughout
the country have not even purchased
a fair proportion of their require
ments for spring.
New York Cotton.
New York, Dec. 2S-The cotton
market was somewhat irregular, but
ruled more active than previously this
week, and during the late session was
quite firm on covering of shorts and
a renewal of Wall Street demand after
the decline in money rates. The close
was at a net advance of a to Is
i points. Sales were estimated at
100000 bales.
The opening was barely steady at
a decline of to points in response
to lower cables. The high money
rates ruling early in the day seemed
to be bringing out more wall street
cotton, and during the early session
the market eased off to a net decline
of about to 10 points. A round
11.51 for March, or within one point
of the previous low level of the month
a better demand developed and the
market slowly rallied. Most of the
support came from the covering OF
snorts who may have been influenced
by q desire to even up before the ap-
preaching holidays. and during the
middle session the market continued
TO present a nervous and unsettled
appearance, although prices held with
i'm a narrow range of last night's
finals. In the afternoon there was a
little demand from Wall Street bulls.
and with shorts continued BUYERS,
the market rallied easily and closed
very steady within a point or two OF
the top. Receipts of cotton at the
ports today 1907 bales against 20
O57 last week and 40,.364 last year.
For the week (estimated) 100000
bales against 241, ,634 last week and

by people other than Italians them
selves. Special preparatory services
were held on Palm Sunday and Easter
Sunday morning for the spiritual bene.

The Ubiquitous Irishman.

Rev. Daniel Quinn, head of the Leo
nine college at Athens, in Greece, who
is at present visiting the United
States, is native of Yellow Springs,
Ohio. Father Quinn has spent his last
ten years in Greece, and speaks bet
ter Greek than he does his mother
tongue. He tells story that no cor
ner of the earth is so remote that an
Irishman or 1rishwDman cannot be
found there.
Several years ago Father Quinn
sought a vacation on the Island Of
Cepalinia, one of the seven Ionian
groups off the west coast of Greece.
One day while wandering over the
island he came upon an institution Of
learning for women. Father Quinn
was invited in by the Sister Superior,
whose name proved to be Murphy. She
was reading a history of the Irish race
written in Greek. Father Quinn con-
tinued his journey to the principal
town of the island. There he found
the leading merchant and exporter
was a man named o'Toole, Of Irish
extraction, who spoke no other Ian
guage than Greek.-Catholic Tribune.
