New York. Dec i2.-To-day's market
proved a sad disappointment to the hopes
Of traders operating on the bull side
They thought that news like that which
came from Washington would suffice for
a rise OF several points. and acted ac-
cordingly. but found that the only effect
was an advance Of point or so at the
opening. which was lost again as soon as
their own buying ceased.
Instead of making a profit on the good
news. they were forced to shoulder paper
losses on the stocks which they bought at
the opening, and were given little nope
that anything would turn up to allow
them to get out on the winning side.
Il could not be said that the money
market checked the upward movement
in prices Of stocks. for call money was
considerably easier than on the preceding
day. The first loan was made at l25z. and
renewals were arranged at 10 and II per
cent, after which the rate dropped down
to figures much lower than any consider
able amount had been loaned at on
Wednesday.
The weekly statement OF the Bank of
England should have been sufficient for
a rally in the market. II was not merely
satisfactory-it was exceptionally favor
able. Despite the enormous drain Of gold
to this side. the institutions showed a
proportion Of reserve to liabilities as high
as 1856. or more than per cent above
the average for the corresponding week
in the past seven years.
The discount rate remained unchanged.
but with an excellent report very little
doubt was left anywhere that a reduc-
ton would be made next week. This
would exert a good effect throughout the
money markets OF the world.
New York Central was weak all day
and pulled down the general list every
time the professio ais tried to rally the
market For the weakness in Central
no definite explanation was heard. but
there were rumors enough to keep the
traders interested. one Of these was that
the directors held meeting in the course
Of the forenoon, presumably TO consider
the question. but this was denied An
be declared at the regular rate. but would
be paid in scrip instead OF cash
The heaviest decline in any OF the
active stocks was suffered by American
Smelling and Refining Smelters is now
the favorite gambling &C inter OF num-
Der of professional ope -ators who care
not a whit on which side they make their
money so long as they get enough OF il.
Nearly half Of the days transactions in
stocks occurred in the first hour. The
business tapered or around noon until
it nearly reached the vanishing point,
but again broadened, and in the last hour
once more assumed fair dimensions.
Reading led in the point OF activity-with
something more than One-ffth OF the
total number OF shares dealt-but without
net price changes.

was the only salient feature Of stock ex-
change transactions to-day. There was,
indeed, to-day, from the view of specula-
tive Wall street, practically no market at
all.
OF the 10000 shares OF stock bought and
sold, over one-half was turned over in
the first hour Of business. and after
that time the market remained almost mo-
tioniess displaying only a slight recu-
deseence OF activity in the last quarter of
an hours business.
Prices Up at Opening.
The relative liveliness of the trading

an up squirt in prices running as far as
couple of points in some of the most
active stocks like Northern Pacific. I'm
ION Pacific, and Reading. and the general
reason assigned for this movement was
the more or less unexpected announce
ihent from the White House at Washing

uon made by President Roosevelt at the
lime or his election that he would not ac-
cept another nomination.

mated Copper shares which were the
strong quarters Of the market yesterday
Were to-day at least. in the case of the
hrst-named stock, the weakest The New
Aork central and Missouri Pacific shares
were again sharply depressed on stories
OF impending dividend reductions.
Canadian Pacific Advance.
On the other hand. Canadian Pacific
stock advanced three points by reason OF

be confirmed that the Canadian Pacific
Railroad Company might come into pos
session of what is virtually the controlling
interest in the Boston and Maine Rail-
road Company now owned by the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company.
The money question did not play as
important part in the stock market to-
aay as 1t did yesterday. although most
OF the days call loans were made al
rates varying between 10 and u per cent.
In the higher banking circles to-day

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

Business on the Washington Stock Ex-
change yesterday was without special
feature. beyond the continued buying of
Washington Railway and Electric pre-
ferred at fun point below the sales Of
the previous day. The transactions
amounted 10 s2.S4Oin bonds. and 24s shares
Of stock.
Mergenthaler, OF which % shares were
sold. declined from 1851 to 1s5. and Cap
ital Traction recorded one sale OF 20
shares at I'D and 40 shares three-eights
above that price The buying Of Mer-
genthaler is considered the picking up Of
odd shares sold during the financial furry
for liquidation purposes.

COMMENT, ON MARKET.

G. Bowie Chipman, Of Z. r. Chapman
& Co.-"Principally on account OF the
over night political news our first
prices to-day showed advances OF from
to points. and during the first few
minutes OF the session these gains were
carried some farther. On the advance
sales OF long stock were met. which
not only checked the upward movement.
but turned IL into q reaction. From
noon on the market was dull with IA
sagging tendency. and although il had
one or two feverish fractional rallies
IL closed as a general thing slightly
lower. Premium on currency continued
about IS yesterday. Renewing rates II
per cent. new rates on call loans from
IL to per cent For the near future
the market in my opinion, barring any
unexpected happenings. will confne
itself 90 narrow range and be almost
entirely a trading affair. Banking in
terests show a decided disposition to
sell stocks on buIges. and on the other
hane seem willing TO replace these
commitments on fair reactions. With
this in view it would seem best to sell
en- the rallies"
George L. Edmunds. Of Miller & Co
The statement OF President Roosevelt
brought a higher range OF prices in
London this morning. At the opening
arbitraging between here and London
was on a more profitable basis than
any day within long time past
The market gradually turned duller
and after midday things became per
Iunctory. In fact. the narrow and
meaningless fluctuations were mOnOt-
onously in line with the market that
would have been usual after the re-
bound from a panic level Baltimore
and Ohio was noticeabIy heavy. and
the payment Of the Atlantic Coast Line
dividend in script did not help matters
much. Ny own view remains unchang-
ed. that the good railroad stocks are
selling so far below their real value
that they should be bought on all re-
actions. Pending the disappearance of
the clearing house certificates and the
accumulation OF sufficient reserves 20
make good the depletion. the banking
interests viii hardly foster much OF
general speculation. but that does not
alter the fact that good railroad stocks
are so cheap that they should win
stanch friends every time they have
a fair decline.

statement that he would not be a candi>

MINNESOTA STATE
PRISON AND S|SAI

c. NJ. Lovsted gives an explanation
of the inquiry about Hawaiian sisal
made by Warden Wolfer of the Min
nesota State Prison which was pub
lished in the Advertiser.
Several million pounds of binder
Irvine are manufactured each year by
that institution. In consequence the
State controls the price for the benefit
of the farmers. The large dealers have
to accept the price as regulated by the
prison schedule. Naturally the warden
is interested in learning about all
available sources of raw material.
Some time ago Mr.. Lovsted obtained
from Mr.. Weinrich, manager of the
sisal plantation at Sisal, Eva, a sam
pie of the fiber produced there and sent
it to a friend in Minnesota, and it was
exhibited at the State fair.

future-not so many years hence, eit her
the whole face of the slope will probab-
ly be terraced like the peak at Hong

Mr.. Steere also said that there are

encouraging number coming in. The

ments, IS more than usually prosperous,
and times are good.

beautiful illustrated lectures. The sub
ject will be "A Ramble Through
Europe" and will include about one
hundred pictures of the most beautiful
and interesting things. Europe is
packed ftnl of things worth going to
see. Mighty London, big enough to
fill half the great cities of America;
gay, beautiful Paris, where art over
flows the palaces and lives out Of
doors; odd old Holland in sharpest con-
trast, with it's windmills, canals and
wooden shoes. Then the Rhine coun-
try, where for two thousand years, men
have been building castles. making
war, love and strange legends; glorious
Switzerland, the Alps mountains, mas
terpieces of the Almighty with ice riv-
ers that move but few feet in year.
After this, the wonderful cities, cathe-
drals and palaces of old Italy, where
men have builded for twenty centuries
and saved every great heritage. The
lecture will close with the fearful
grandeur of Vesuvius pouring out it's
river of fire, and the ruins of Pompeii,
which was buried by the volcano.
