NEW YORK. December 13.-The deal
inss in the days stock market were doubt
less Influenced to considerable extent
by the sudden drop in prices toward the
close of business yesterday and other cir
cumstances also played some part in the
days irregular movements.
For one thing. the money market was
decidedly more active and stronger. a 4
per cent rate being quoted for loans on
call. Advances were also made in the
quotations for loans on time. The de-
velopments in this quarter unauestionably
reflected the very heavy loss in cash which
the banks have incurred thus far this
week in their operations with the SUBJ
treasury, this mornings figures setting
forth an unfavorable balance of nearly
SIG 100000
1t did not appear to be the case
that the appointment of commission
by Gov. Hughes to investigate the gen.
eral methods of speculation in securities
and commodities cut any particular fig
ure in the course of the stock market.
The New York Stock Exchange feels
that it has nothing to fear from an in
vestigation of this character and there was
much favorable comment upon the per-
sonality OF the commission.
Measured Up Fairly Well.
Notwithstanding the fitful and un-
certain movements in prices. the vol
ume of business measured fairly we'll
up to recent averages of activity. There
was little actual news overnight. and
aside from the developments in the
money market there was little of in
terest and significance in the days sit
uation at large.
The London stock market presented
the usual ante-holiday appearance.
American stocks were quoted there at
mixed price charges in comparison with
New York's closing figures of yesterday,
and foreign houses were sellers here to
the extent of about 10000 shares.
The most active features Of the mar
ket were American Smelling, United
States Steel. Union Pacific, Amalgamated
Copper and Reading. Exceptionally firm
features of the railway list were New
York Central Pennsylvania Northern
Pacific and Great Northern preferred.
Reading Only Heavy.
Reading alone. with the other coal
stocks, was heavy, probably because Of
the resumption Of the governmental in
vestisation of the operation of the an
thracite roads.
The traction shares were also heavy
with the exception OF the interborough
metropolitan issues
American Smelling suffered a further
extensive decline in the opening deal
fngs. but subsequently the stock re-
fected a certain measure of support.

JEWISH CONVERT,

Rev. Litchenstein, of st. Louis,
an Israelite, preached at the
Presbyterian church Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings and
told the story of his conversion
to Christianity. He called at
tention to the great efforts being
made by Christian churches for
the conversion of the world and
how little had so far been done
for the chosen people of God,
so many of whom were coming to
this country to escape the cruel
prosecutions in Europe. Rev.
Litchenstien appealed for the
prayers and sympathy of the
people, for the cause he repre-
sented, impressing the fact that
a Jews conversion meant ostra.
cism from his race and very often
separation from father. mother,
wife and little ones, as has been
his own case. Very little en-
couragement had been met with
in the smaller towns of the South.
but patient and earnest efforts
were being made and good re-
suits noted in the work.

Judge VIM. Campbell recently

cessor to Judge Phillip S. Pugh,
expects to qualify tomorrow and
next Monday to enter upon the
discharge of his new functions.
Judge Campbell as District At

and his elevation to the bench is
the most eloquent compliment
that the people could bestow
upon an able, faithful and con-
scientious officer, whose entire
energy has been directed to the
strict and i'm partial enforcement
of law. In assuming the judicial
ermine Judge Campbell enters
upon his new duties and obliga-
tions under auspicious circum-
stances, there being practically
no criminal of any consequence
and only a light civil docket of
routine business. 1t is in con-
sideratiOn of these facts that the
Judge has determined to dis
charge the venire of jurors or

call jury term until he has been
able to set the time for regular

THE SUGAR REFINERY.

A visit to the Lafayette Sugar
Refinery yesterday revealed the
fact that Lafayette has one OF the
finest and most complete sugar
factories to be found in the
State. The vast and complica,
ted machinery employed in every
department is truly awein-spir-
ing to one who looks back a gen
GRAFTON past and recalls the crude
and awkward methods used in
the process of sugar making
then. Gigantic cranes load and
unload cars of cane and transfer
it to the carrier, to be taken into
the mill and crushed. The re-
finery has it's own electric light
plant and uses compressed air to
obtain water supply from three
large wells. The mill has a ca
pacity of 1000 tons per "a hours
and has been in operation since
Oct. 21st without interruption or
accident. Manager Vontroeskow
and Mr.. A. B. Denbo, his assis.
tant, are to be congratulated up
on the excellent system they
maintain in the plant which
moves along as smoothly as

The original route had been
surveyed before the Civil War
but the enterprise was allowed
to remain practically dormant
until Congressman Broussard in
1897, after persistent agitation
secured appropriation for a re.
survey and a revival of the
project.
The canal as projected includ-
ed part of Cote Blanche and Yer
million bays as part of it's route.
This was in the original survey.
Mr.. Broussard stated that while
he recognized that a passage
through the bay was not safe for
the craft which would navigate
the canal and that the engineers
also recognized it, yet his main
purpose was to have congress
commit itself to the project, then
after the work was actually be.
gun, it would be time to have any
alterations made. Any attempt
to change the route at this time
would in his opinion. result in
further delay and he thought it
best just now not to attempt to
secure change in the route.
Upon request of the opinion of
those present several expressed
themselves as agreeing with Mr..
Broussard as to it being best to
wait. which seemed to be the
opinion of all present.
The proposed canal is to be 40
feet wide and 5 feet deep, but
the right of way secured is 300
feet and on that portion already
dredged the dirt is required to
be thrown on one side only, in.
dlcating that eventually the
waterway will be widened and
deepened.

stated that the best answer was

Lafayette had been given q site,
it was first in line for a public
