 "There's mary slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," said reader of THG BEE, the other day. While riding out with his lady-love he espied fine looking hammer in the roadway, and at once proceeded to appropriate it. After re- turning to his carriage and while be- ing congratulated on his 'Iucky find," he was startled by voice near by, saying, Hold on minute, l may like to use that hammer again, before get this job done." On looking about he found chap perched upon the arm of a telephone pole, quietly busy, but en- toying his discontinue. It is needless to say that he laid that hammer down, and made up his mind that he could keep on borrowing hammer, when.he wanted to use one.

FLUCTUATIONS IN AMERICANS

LONDON. December 15.-Trading on the
stock exchange was moderately active dur
ing the week. with influences about evenly
balanced, leaving quotations not much
changed. The satisfactory arrangement of
the settlement. together with the larger
money supplies. caused moderate operations
on the bull side of the market as well as
investment purchases. but this activity de-
creased on the gold shipments to South
America and fears of monetary stringency
prior to the next settlement. Operators
took their profits pretty freely, and with
some continental selling, owing to the dis
turbed political situation, the earlier i'm
provement disappeared
Americans. under Wall street manipula-
tion fluctuated widely and somewhat irreg-
ularly. The treasury relief Of the money
market early in the week assisted the up
ward movement, and although large por-
ton of the New York account had been
transferred here the settlement passed off
satisfactorily. Forced liquidation, however,
combined with another money squeeze in
New York. offset the favorable influences
and values at the finish of the week were
little changed.
The Weeks Features.
The features of the week were a sharp
rise and wide fluctuations In Canadian Pa
cific, which. after touching 20Sh closed
with points net gain, and Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul. which. showing even
greater strength. closed at 20312. or IA
points dearer for the week on rumors of in
fiuential buying for control. followed by re-
ports of an issue of stock at par
Rates in the money market hardened con-
siderably at the week end. with much I'M
certainty regarding the future, owing to the
stringent conditions abroad.
The stock of gold here has been depleted
by $4,000, 900 shipped to South America
while the Indian money requirements fore
Swallowed the possibility of gold being need
ed for the Bank of England. which, to-
gether with the weakness in New York ex-
change. caused discount to harden and
aroused fears of stringency well into the
new year.

HEARD ON CHANGE

Another week without incident on the
local exchange or any action of conse-
uuence in the stock market seemed probable
as the record which would be made Of the
past six days. At the last Of the week,
however. the movement which had been In
progress In the case of Greene Copper
stock began to assume rather large proper
tons. While the upward tendency in the
stock had been feature of the market for
several days previous, still it was not until
Friday that the transactions reached any
volume .'.'-'.i ~
An advance Of five or six points was
made. scarcely causing ripple on the
surface Of the local market. The record Of
the sales hardly indicates the movement up
to Friday, at least if such information is
based on the amount Of trading.
That day rather heavy trading was noted
for that market, with a marked advance in
the figures. The local activity in that re-
spect hardly kept pace with what was done
in the New York market, where high SELL
ing records were made, which went ahead
of what was done on the local exchange. A
lull in the trading occurred yesterday, how
ever, and transactions, as far as the volume
was concerned, sank to the level of the
days when there is no market for the stock.
The price continued up to the advanced
place it had gained during the period while
the movement lasted. Now that the details
or the proposed merger OF the company
with another COMPANY owning adjoining
propertylare somewhat known, ii is possible
that the market effect has been exhausted,
but as to this there is no decided opinion.
There was nothing that developed during
the week in regard to the other securities
listed on the exchange that had any infiu-
ence on the market The trading was rather
limited and the absence of any demand,
as well, of any pressure. to sell continued
to be the character of the trading
There is. of course. hope on the part of
brokers that some change in the prevailing
conditions may come soon, but there Is no
great confidence expressed as to the exact
time when such a hoped-for change in the
market will arrive. Some go as far as to
say that after. the first of the year the
money market may be expected to be easier
and then business will revive There are
others who say that they don't know what
to make of the market and, therefore, have
no predictions for the future

MANCHESTER CLOTH.

MANCHESTER, England December 15.-
The increased crop estimates made little
difference in the cloth market. where good
business was transacted during the week at
slightly easier quotations. India, as well
as China, absorbed fair lines of suitable
cloths, principally of the light, fancy
makes, but Mediterranean buyers acted
rather cautiously.
Yarns were only moderately active at a
.eauction Of one-eighth. Users only bought
for pressing needs, and, consequently, spin
ners found their production accommodating
to some extent.
