YESTERDAYS sToCK MARKET
Increased stringency i'm Money Has It's
Effect.

New York, Dec. 4.-The increased
stringeney of tho money market had
some effect on stocks to-day, in spite
Of some strong sustaining influences
y and prices host ground as the day
Wore on. There was marked show of
strength in the early part of the day In
an exhaustive list of special stocks, but
the trading in the usual active shares
was dull and the movement narrow.
The Vanderbilts enjoyed notable adj
I Yances, which were sufficiently explain
ed by the announcement shortly after
noon of the dividend increases on the
two subsidiary stocks of the New York
Central lines, properly 50 called. The
lake Shore semi-annual dividend was
increased 2 per cent. to 6 per cent and
the Michigan Central semi-annual divi-
dend was increased l per cent. to ?
per cent. Other Vanderbilt stocks NOV
ed upward in sympathy. The material
addition thus effected to the other in
come of the New York Central gave
rise to a general conviction that an in
crease in that dividend was intended
The increase In other income of tho
New York Central, which will accrue
from to-day's Increases on the subsidi-
airy stocks will amount to nearly 2-3
per cent. on the stock. Stocks of other
companies in similar subsidiary posi-
tion were most affected in sympathy
with the Vanderbilt rise. For the rest
the notable advances were amongst
stocks of the obscurer class, and usual
ly dormant in the trading. The news
of the day offered no explanation of
these movements. Increasing atten-
tion centered on the money situation
The stringency instead of relaxing as
the first Of December receded, became
aggravated The ruling rates for call
loans We're higher than yesterday or
on Monday although the % per cent
maximum did not reach yesterdays
highest. The known movements of
money indicated a sufficient decrease in
bank reserves since Saturday to more
than wipe out the slender surplus
shown at that time The days trans
fers through the sub-treasury amounted
to Sl25000O of which 100000 was to
San Francisco and S5O0,000 to New Or
leans. The sub-treasury's absorption
from the banks since the last bank
statement amounts to $2,973,OO0. Very
soanty amounts were offered on time,
and the demand was eager, especially
for funds carrying over the end of the
year, for which 10 per cent. was paid
Fir sixty days, s per cent. was bid, and
for ninety days, IL per cent.
The calling Of loans by the banks
caused increasing liquidation and con-
siderable decline, and the closing was
but slightly above the lowest. The read.
ing Of the presidents message in Wall
street was not a factor in the days
market
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
value, s1,9S2,OOO.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

had any serious effect on prices, ex-
cepting that near the close there was
a reaction.
Time money rates touched the high
est level of the season, and it is very
evident, as President Roosevelt sug-
gests, that the business man, fully as
much as the operator in stocks, is bear
ing the burden Of this high tax In
view of the presidents recommendation
and Secretary Shaw's known willing
ness to help out, it is doubtful if the
level of stocks will be greatly changed
by the high rates. There Is about $780,
100000 in the treasury now. Undoubt-
eddy some of this will be at the dis
posal of the New York money market
soon.
A rumor that gold would be imported
was promptly squelched, as gold i'm

Wall street did not find in President
Roosevelt's remarks on the subjects Of
cooperating regulation and tax on ex-
cessive wealth anw cause for alarm.
On the whole the document was looked
upon as not likely to disturb capital
A help to the market was the news
that directors Of the Lake Shore met
yesterday and increased the annual
dividend rate from to 70 per cent. The
dividend on the Michigan Central an
other New York Central company, was
increased from to per cent. Ru-
mors were heard that decision had
already been reached to increase the
New York Central dividend from s to 6
per cent. and the Nickle Plate distribu-
ton from to 4 per cent. Although
the directors of the two last-named
companies met this week. NJ confirma-
ton of such rumors could be had The
increase was obviously made from the
surplus of other years and because 1t
was thought the New York Central,

SOUTH PENN
MAN ROBBED.

j. j. Wilkinson, rental agent Of
the South Penn Oil Company, was
in Fairmont Tuesday evening from
his home at Bridgeport for the pur-
pose of stopping payment on about
a dozen checks issued by the Hope
Gas Company and which were stolen
from an agent of the company one
night recently. All the banks we're
visited and list of the checks was
given the cashiers.
The robbery was committed on
Bingamon creek near Shinuston on
last Saturday night. The name of
the agent who was robbed was not
learned, but the sum of $50 in cash
and about $500 in checks were taken.
Officers are on the lookout for the
thieves and ii is believed that they
will be apprehended soon.
