Heavy Selling Today Led to
Some Notable Declines.

London Irregular, Americans Below
New York Parity.

Weekly Mercantile Reports Showed
Little Improvement in
Conditions.
REACTIONARY TENDENCIES
FEW FOREIGN ACCOUNT SALES

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December THE slightly
reactionary tendencies which were noted
in yesterdays closing dealings in the stock
market were renewed in emphasized form
this morning. Exceedingly heavy and
concentrated sales were conducted in a
number of the important issues, includ
ing notably Reading, Union Pacific and
American Smelling. These stocks &C
cordingly declined from 1 to 2 points, al
though it should be said that these losses
were not particularly extensive in view
of character in selling and still narrow
limits of the market.
There was no real news over night or
with the course of the day to be cited in
connection with the course of the market,
but rather persistent rumors were cur
rent of further impending banking diff
ficulties in this city and elsewhere.
Little Doing in London.
The London stock market was irregular
and American stocks were quoted for the
most part below parity with New York's
closing prices of yesterday. Operations
here for foreign account were upon only a
small scale.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies set forth little improvement in
conditions at large, except SO far as actual
money market circumstances were con-
cerned.
1t seemed to be the common expectation
that the weekly bank statement would
show further substantial increase In re-
serves, but this prospect carried no in
f1uence whatever in the dealings in the
stock market.

Exploring for Eucalyptus.
IN Forestry and Irrigation.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad has sent the manager of its tie
and timber department, E. o. Faulkner, on
an exploring journey to Hawaii. Japan

those countries and perhaps to buy trees
for planting. The Santa Fe railroad has
thousand acres in eucalyptus in Cal

telephone poles and railroad ties. These
are doing we'll. but it is hoped that Mr..
Faulkner can find still better varieties. 1t

The World of
Finance and Trade
LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The higher levels in prices gained during
the past week in the local market has
been maintained and in addition
tendency is noticed toward what is be-
lieved still better figures. 1t is thought
that the rule will be observed at this
time which is usual in the stock market.
so that as the prices advance the volume
of buying Will increase. In other words. the
public don't like cheap stocks and strong
buying generally sets in on rising
market.
with improved conditions generally.
which means mainly at this time more
confidence, the prospects for the local
market are brighter.
The near approach of the date when the
books of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company are to be closed for the
transfer of stock prior to the annual
meeting for the election of officers, which
Is to be held on the 18th of next month,
does not serve to clear UP the situation to
anv extent.
There seems to be no very definite idea
as to where the control of the company
will rest when the transfer books close on
the Goth instant. but 1t Is said that how
ever that turns out it is the purpose to
select strong and representative local men
to compose the board of directors.
In compliance with law of Congress
annual statements of the business both of
the Washington Gas Light Company and
of the Potomac Electric Light and Power
Company have been sent to that body.
From the figures thus given the following
comparative statement has been prepared:
Gas Co. Elec. 1t. Go:
Gross revenues. ...... 81. 100. Do $l.O10, j52

The settlement that has been reached in
the claims brought against the Washing
ton, Arlington and Falls Church Railway
Company on account of the accident last
July on that road is looked upon as clear
ing away about the only uncertainty in
the future of that property. The claims
filed aggregated over S4G0.OOO, while the
settlement agreed upon is on the basis of
about $4,000.
There is still pending an action brought
by the minority stockholders in the Vir-
ginia court asking for an accounting, COW
ering a period of the past five or six
years. 1t is believed. however, that in
which hung over the company it will be
much easier to get the property in good
shape.
The stocks and bonds of tho company
amount to s5O0,O0O, and it is supposed that
with the expenses of the receiVership, the
payment of the claims and other items
the property ought to bring as
whole $500, 600. There has been some talk
