COMMENT ON MARKET.

Benjamin Woodruff. of Post & Flagg-
The forenoon session showed quite
decline in prices. as money ruled again
.at 20 per cent In the afternoon the
market recovered most Of its loss, show
ing apparently that most OF the mornings
selling had been for short account There
was much comment on the sudden ad-
vance in money over rates which pre-
vailed last week. and the cause OF this
is by no means clear Apparently. IL was
due to the opinion OF the banks that the
advance must go too fast and too lar

Gates stu outstanding. No developments

about the only news was the payment

comes clearer one can hardly expect

George l. Edmunds, OF Miller & Co
The market was adversely influenced

MARKET Is STRONG
Active Stocks Close with
Marked Advances.
SUGAR IS STILL ON DECLINE
This Stock, with New York Central,
Proves an Exception I'm the Days
TradinE-American Smelling and
AmaIgamated Attract Attention.
Western Union Also Advances.

New York. Dec. u.-Irregular tendencies
prevailed in to-day's professional and
uninteresting stock market. but in the
majority reflected the desire Of specula-
tors for the fall to recover a portion OF
the stocks so freely sold by them earlier
in the week.
In general, the market was weak for
the first hour. and was strong later. when
the covering of short contracts was
in full swing.
The majority of the active stocks closed
at advances. There were. however, some
notable exceptions to these movements.
and views regarding the immediate future
course of values were a good deal mixed.
In the forenoon the feature of the trad
ing was a further sharp decline in Ameri-
can Sugar, of the same nature apparently
as that which took place yesterday.
The New York Central shares were also
depressed, seemingly because nothing has
occurred 10 change the opinion of the
great bulk of professional operators in
the market that the New York Central
Company must meet heavy money raising
necessities within the next few months
The bond issue recently negotiated by the
company provided money only for GER
tain equipment needs and the company
has yet to finance the major portion OF its
great improvement work in this city.
Stocks Attract Attention.
on the other hand. the strength Of
American Smelling and Refining common
attracted much attention throughout the
day and was accompanied. too by steady
buyiag Of the Amalgamated Copper shares
whenever these were offered. The pre-
sumption In Wall street was that the buy
ing Of the stock represented the elimina-
ton of a speculative interest for a fall
in the stock for the current depression in
the copper trade. and on the face Of
things there would seem to be no other
definite reason than this for any rise in
copper mining securities at the present
time.
With the Amalgamateds different plants
practically entirely closed. Il seems hardly
probable that present dividends upon the
stock can be continued. although the
stock. like any other. would. doubtless
discount after the usual fashion. a turn
before this change was apparent TO the
Eyes OF the casual observer.
Western C-son stock advanced to-day a
couple OF points on sales of less than a
thousand shares as soon as II was an
nounced that the directors of the COM
pany decided 10 pay by an issue of stock
to the shareholders of the company s
quarterly dividend OF IL per cent.

the bond issue was insisted upon at
this time. II a different course had
been taken we honestly believe it
would have been better for the city.
There seems TO be a few people in
this city who are determined to
rule or ruin. Their every move de-
monstrates this fact. It IS desperate

into voting for bonds Chat they may

PAY DAY
PASSING QUIETLY

Payday on the n. e. w. is passing
on quietly today, there being no dis
turbance OF any kind worth men
tloning. This is quite an improve
ment on like occasions OF a few years
ago, when railroad coin" days were
looked forward to by the timid with
a shudder. This rowdyism, however.
was not caused so much by the rail
road men themselves, but by those
whom their liberty enabled to i'm

ordinary occasions, and hence the
