BULLS AND BEARS


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 27.-The attitude
of certain speculative interests toward the
stock market was not much changed To-Day.
While some Of the professional contingent
were extremely bearish 1t was the OPINION
of many that the market as whole LOT the
rest of the year would be dull and irresu-
lar, but would show a tendency to harden
and recover. Breaks In individual stocks, as
in the case ofTGreat Northern and Northern
Pacific, were, Of course, looked Tor "nere
these securities are governed by speclal con-
ditions like those which brought about the
decline in Great Northern and Northern Ia
ciic during the last hour yesterday. There
was still considerable difference of opinion
as to what the money market would be be-
tween now and the early days of January.
few interests predicted serious dis
turbance In local monetary conditions in
connection with the unprecedentedly large
January disbursements, but the majority
opinion was that the money market would
not experience more than moderate tenn
porary furry.
- X
1t is known that large inside interests in
Great Northern Railway Company are con-
fident that they will be able in due time to
carry out their present plan of issuing &c.,
100000 additional stock at par. 1t Is as
sumed that at least temporary injunction
will be granted by the court, and this may
prevent the company from receiving the
first instalment of cash on January 7, the
date specified In the circular. Apparently
the Great Northern interests do not expect
that the legal proceedings in this action will
be long drawn out. 1t is known also that
they have advised their friends to buy Great
Northern stocks at about present prices
and that they believe also it will soon at
tract both large and small investors on the
basis of the cash dividend now being paid.
These Interests also point out that within
the last five years, without taking account
of the $50, 000, 600 Issue, the Great North
ern stockholders have received Is per cent
in cash and stock. This would be a re-
turn Of 10 per cent year on par, or per
cent on the basis of $500 a share for the
stock. AS a matter of fact, Of course, the
market price has been far below 800 for
the greater part of the FIVE years. OF
course, If the company is permitted to is
sue the sGO.OOO,0O0 stock, as it proposes
to do, and taking account Of the ore GER
tifeates, which large interests believe will
be extremely valuable in due time, the
Great Northern stockholders, within a pc
Rod of six years or less, will have re-
ceived returns from their money far in
excess of 10 per cent ON the par value Of
the shares.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Mitchell mining stock was in fairly good
demand today and the trading in it formed
the leading feature Of the transactions at
the meeting Of the stock exchange. Most
of the purchases were made at 81, which
is an advance of an eighth of point over
the best selling price of yesterday.
While this advance was not large as such
things ordinarily go. yet it was pretty good
in the present state of the market. At
one time it looked as If all the SIS stock
would be exhausted, but that did not prove
to be the case, as toward the close OF more
stock at that price was for sale, 30 that
the bid. which for time reached 5ss, re
ceded to 5A
The stock was to be had at 5h and some
options were taken at the figure. There
was fairly good demand for options and
the supply was also about equal to the
demand The buying was quite general, as
was also the selling, and nearly all the
brokers who are actively in the market
had something to do with the trading In
Mitchell.
1t was also noted that the trading here
was on somewhat higher level than that
in New York, so that there was posslblll-
ty of selling at the better price here and
buying again in New York at the lower
figure. The difference however, in the
levels of the two markets was only about
an eighth of a point. so that there was
not great deal in such an operation.
Nothing of consequence developed during
the call in regard to the other securities on
the list. In some cases the bid and the
asking prices were widely separated and In
others they were close together but IN
neither case did it have any effect on the
trading.
The inactivity of the market remains I'M
broken and while there is the belief on the
part Of some that change for the better
is scheduled to take place early In the com
ing year, there are also those who place
that period farther along.
1t does seem reasonable to suppose there
will be more money available after the dis
bursements on account Of interest and CIV
idends on the first of the year and a1ter
the large amounts of money, the proceeds
of the holiday trade which has oeen un-
usually heavy In all parts of the country,
finds It's way back to the large centers.
