YEsTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET.
Struggle Against Severe stringency fin
 Money.

MOUeys
 New York, Dec. 1.-The stock market struggled against the severe stringency in the money market to-day and es- caped without serious damage to val tes. After the period of greatest weakness in the morning in fact there were general. recoveries under the in- fiuence of the sky rocket advance in Tennessee Coal and vigorous upward movements In other special stocks. Money on call was quoted as high as twenty-eight per cent, thus rising above. the previous nlaximum for the year touched last month. To-day s high rate in fact has not been equalled before since October, 1902. A general subject of comment was the slightness of the depression in view of the cir cumstances. Losses at the extreme low level of the day were not excessive in any stocks The deductions drawn from this state of affairs were that the organized speculation which had been conducted for some time past had pro- vided itself largely with time loans be- fore the scarcity developed in the mon- ey market. The absence of forced li~ quidation at the present time on the part of the large operators of the past few weeks is capable of no other ex- pIanation. The actual demand on cash reserves is quite sufficient to explain the degree of stringency in the money market, but there can be no doubt that the quality of some of the collateral offered for loans, especially some of the stocks which have undergone great imitation in the speculation has figured in the making of rates. The frenzy in the call money market induced decided stiffness in the time money market. There was evidence of large movement of funds towards this center, reports indicating a receipt of at least $1,000, 900 from Canadian sources. The sterling exchange rate also fell to below ,485, which is lower than the point touched during the last imports of gold. This led to expectation of gold engagements. The closer working of money in other departments than the purely specula- tive re-awakened the expectation that the secretary of the treasury would be moved to take some measure of relief for the money market, which he had refused to do So long as purely specu- iative requirements were restricted. Confidence that such action was immi- nent had much to do with the late ral- ly in stocks.

 Call money rose to 27 per cent. yes terday. The tense money situation de- veloped early in the session. Stocks, however, were strong, except for a shorts spell of weakness and price closed at the top.
 Those who want to borrow money have to pay the high prices. It often happens that a broker has not meas ured his money needs closely and has to resort to the open market after he has secured his daily accommodations at bank.
 Speculation was very wild in the clos ing half hour, almost every active stock on the list being bid up on really enor- mous transactions. There was much less distinction than has existed of late between active and idle stocks; rail- ways and industrials advanced fairly in unison.
 The 27 per cent. quotation touched yesterday appeared to measure both the weakening bank reserve fund and the continued drain on resources of the banks, to keep up the stock speculation for the rise,
 Run1ors were revived yesterday that Secretary Shaw would devote a part of the public surplus to the outside mark ct to help Wall street out. These rumors were not confirmed. When first put out which was in the closing hour, the market rushed up wildly. 4
 Loans that were made Wednesday at 15 per cent. were renewed yesterday at 20. The absence of offering on the floor of the stock exchange of bank and trust company money had bad effect and was responsible for the early rate of 27 per cent. The regular money brokers had smaller supplies than at any time during the money tension; Time money was very stiff. '"
 Call money has not loaned as high as yesterday in three years. On Septem- Der 29, 1902, loans were made at 35 per cent. and during the panic of April, 1901, the rate climbed to 75 per cent. On November 1s last 1t reached 25 per cent. l r ''- '" ~"~' '"

A Mysterious Name

Mystery surrounds the Identity and
history Of the marihumana. Even its
name is q riddle Linguists say it might
reasonably be supposed to mean either
one Of half dozen different things.
Its genealogical parts appear to war
rant the conclusion that the word means
either human marriage" human
Mary" or human ocean," But in the
use to which the word has been ap-
piled by the distinguished scientist the
meaning Is said to be for the human
man" This would exclude from its use
the goods and all other women, unless
the ingenious suggestion@-ef one OF the
goods is the truth-the suggestion that
the true meaning of marihumana is for
married humans"
Manifestly this would not leave the
goods any better off, excluding them
while they remained unmarried But it
appears that they will not consent to be
excluded on any terms They are said to
have tried" the marihumana quite fire.
