NEW YORK. Dec. 4-3 p. m.-During
the afternoon the market began TO
show more strength all around. The
weak spots of the morning recovered all
OF their declines and in addition some
advances were registered, while the
stocks that were strong in the first half
OF the day continued to advance with
a most excellent display Of strength.
The buying was of the kind that
counts, persistent and oft-repeated or
derlng. BefoTe-it the bears started COW
ering and the whole list moved steadily
forward.
Some very excellent. gains were re-
corded, notably Delaware and Hudson,
which moved up from l33 to III. Great

have a material effect in maintaining
the premium on currency. as the banks
are anxious TO make as good a show
ing as possible at this time. They are
usually conservative just before The call
periods. but the Comptroller has waited
long before making the last cali Of
1907. The Street is waiting anXiOusly
for the call. as II probably means That
the banks Will be much more generous

not be so clamorOus after currency. II
is quite within the probabilities that

HAD FoNDNEss FOR "TwENTIEs'
One of Thaw's ''Eccentricities" Which
Has Called Forth Comment.

New York Feb. 15.-Twenty dollar
bills were Thaw's favorite form of
ready money, and cashiers of several
of the prominent hotels in the city are
wondering if Thaw's fondness for
Juveniles" will be regarded as enough
of an eccentricity to cause them to be
summoned as witnesses in the trial.
So pronounced was Thaw's weakness
for carrying twenties that it has been
one of the little things" regarding the
case that has been continually discuss
ed by his acquaintance in cafes and re-
sorts along Broadway ever since his ar
rest.
If he gave little supper it was al
ways paid for in twenties; it was all
ways a twenty which came to the head
waiter; if a wager was proposed it was
a twenty or a multiple thereof. Where
many of these twenties came from was
told today by one of the cashiers in
tho Waldor3-Astoriaa hotel, who said:
Long before Thaw became such
public character he used to stop mere
time. 1 knew him quite we'll and was
always impressed with his fondness for
twenty-dollar bills. He would never
take money in any other form when he
could get twenties.
Many weeks in succession I have
known him to leave cheek Tor Sl,OOO
at the desk here on Friday or Saturday
and say that he would stop for the
habit of his to leave a check day or
two before asking for the cash. all
though there was never any question
about his checks.
stop and get his money for the week.
He always wished his thousand dollars
in twenty-dol1ar bills. Some weeks, OF
course. he spent more than $1,000, but
I recall that he made an invarlable
custom of getting about that amount
every Monday morning.
