STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Speculative Activity Contracted and
 Market Dull.

New York. Dec. 17.-The scantiness
 of the money supplies kept the stock market dull and contracted the specu- lative activity materially, but the tone showed some relief from the recent heaviness. Prices showed small resili- ency, however and the movement was dragging and hesitating Assistance toward resisting the mood of depres- sion was afforded by the news of the declaration of extra dividends of per cent. on Lake Shore and Michigan Cen tral stock, the two most prominent subsidiaries of the New York Central. Lake Shores semi-annual dividend of 6 per cent has been the regular rate only for two previo IS half years and the same is true of Michigan Centrals 8 per cent, the rate on Lake Shore pre- vious to tkat having been per,cent a year for three years and on Michigan Central per cent. a year for eleven wears. The surplus from these divi- dend profits oyer the sum required to pay interest on the collateral bonds issued by the New York Central ac- crues to the New York Central treas ury. which holds most of the stock of the two companies. There has been conspicuous selling of New York Cen tral for several days on an assumption that it's dividend would be reduced or paid in scrip by decision of the direc- tors this week The action on the sub sidiary stocks to-day shook this belief and led to buying to cover shorts by the bears Other stocks in the list showed a similar condition of over ex- tension of the short interest following the recent active selling.

 Interesting Relic.

The following interesting communi- cation is sent to this paper:
 Reading an article in your paper of Monday of a map in the Yale hbrary of New Haven in 1892 prompts me to say I have in my home a map of New Haven taken by General Wadsworth of New Haven in 174S, showing all the buildings. the names of the owners, their proessions, and location of lots of many of the original grantees, also a list of the first grantees showing also the church on the green with three cannon nearby and a man in the bsltry or tower to warn those in the church of the approach of the Indians, It also shows the Saboday house where church people ate their dinner and kept from suffering from cold, And on Elm street are two trees planted in 1886. The burying ground and other things arc shown, Respectfully,

 Foreign exchange was decidedly stronger here, advancing one-quarter cent, and the developments in this market and abroad indicate that gold importing E about over for the pres ent.
 { An oversold condition of the market was disclosed, which caused a retreat of the bears, and their retreat was stimulated by the action taken by the directors of the Lake Shore and Michi- gan Central railroads in declaring ex- tra dividends. The additional dividend payments will accrue greatly to the benefit of the New York Central, which is the owner of the bulk of the stocks of both companies. Wall street at once con- strued that the extra dividend money in addition to other incomes, places the New York Central directors, who meet to-day, in position to continue the dividend upon New York Central stock at the present yearly per cent rate, The doubt on this subject has been an adverse factor in the market.
 The great firmness in money which continued up to shortly before the close when the call rate declined abruptly from r to per cent, had a disquiet- ing effect on the market.
 Money conditions have still to i'm prove very materially before there will be foundation of proper character for sustained bull market One of the incidents of the day of a Favorable na- ture was the publication by the depart ment of commerce and labor at Wash ington of the November statement of our foreign trade.
