VERY SUBSTANTIAL
Was Rally in Prices of Stocks Yes
terda y--Increas Business
porrIy Distributed.

New York Dec. 27.-Prices Of
stocks had comprehensive and sub
stantial rally today and the volume
OF the market expanded considerably.
| The increased business was poorly
distributed and was concentrated in
| fayorite stocks IA speculative eIe
ment. The demand was generally as
cribed to covering operations by the
bear element, which sold the market
freely during the high money period

toners against short sales at present
on the ground that intended liquida-
tion would be withheld from the mar
ket wherever possible, until money
becomes easier after the first of the
year.
There was some active support in
the market and the desire to help the
market values of securities for the
showing in the yearly balance sheets
as Of December 31st, was believed to
furnish the motive for some of this
support. Some of the days incidents
offered positive factors towards the
betterlnent of sentiment. One was
tho falling off in the premium on
currency and the inference of subsid-
ence OF the demand in that field.
figures of weeks currency movement
offered corroboration for this in
ference. Shipments of currency to
the interior by banks We're less than
last week and transfers tc other
points through the subtreasury We're
decidedly the smallest for any week
since the financial disturbance set in. |
BY reason of the continued inflow of
gold this week and of large payments |
at the subtreasury, together with the
movement to the interior, |
New oYrk banks appear to have
gained upwards of $3,000000 cash |
during the week. A further substan
tial reduction in the deficit is prom |
ised, therefore The subtreasury pay /
ments reflect in part the current de-
fict in government revenues, the ex-
cess Of government expenditures over
receipts for December thus far having |
reached $6,479157 compared with an
excess Of receipts over expenditures
The corresponding period last year Of
81, 297,oS3. The days gains in the
prices Of stocks was nearly all main
aimed in spite of the late rise in
money rates.

Durum Wheat.
During recent years the production
of durum wheat in the. United States
has rapidly increased, having reached
now an estimated total of 100000
bushels, of which the domestic marker
may not absorb more than 10000, 00C
bushels, and the remainder is avail
able for European markets, primarily
those of the Mediterranean ports, where
the demand for durum wheat is strong

almost no competitors.
1.-THE present shortage strikes with
greatest severity just those regions
where durum wheat, which is a sprins

spring wheat has been gathered is

Every man should learn to box.
II would be a good thing for women, too.
II more of them went IN for stuffed glove
exercise
There IS q lot Of merit in boxing which
perhaps you have never thought Of.
There Is more IN 81 than the develop
mcnt Of your punch.
There IS more in it than the Increase OF
Jung expansion IL gives YOU
There is more in it than the improvement
of your wind
More than the strengthening Of your
stomach
Here are some of the things that boxing
will teach a boy or man:
IL will teach him 20 be cool under fire.
II will mako him courageous.
II will wear off that natural feeling every
boy has who is called upon TO defend him-
self
It win teach him TO bear punishment
without finishing.
It will teach him TO use strategy IN the
face of danger
Il win cure him OF the inclination 10
faint every time he has "a bloody nose.
II boys learned TO box when they were
young &c would save them many beatings
and bullyings by older boys.
A good hard punch well delivered. 10y

monts of the boxing game viii upset any
bully who weighs from 90 to 40 pounds

Of follow.

fend himself st IS worse than useless foi
him to try 70 cope with him. He may be

A bully Is always too lazy or too swell
headed to learn 10 fight properly. Usually
he has great strength and mean dispo
sition. Some people say hullies are alwayi

never saw a bully who wouldn't hgh

He will even mix it with a stranger au6
