Noteworthy Rise in Railway List.

The annual statement of the Union Pa
cifc company was published today, and
the figures afforded substantial grounds
for prOtracted advance in that stock.
Southern Pacific common and preferred
were also exceptionally strong, and the
dealings in the railway list furnished
large number OF other noteworthy ad-
vances in spite Of the already mentioned
irregular character of the general mar
ket.
The railway specialties lost little of their
recent prominence, Notwithstanding the
reversion of interest to the standard is
sues. Mexican Central was notably
strong. as were the 500 stocks. Canadian
Pacific and the Chicago and Alton shares.
The industrial and miscellaneous stocks
moved in line with the remainder Of the
market. AS was true of the dealings in
other departments. prices receded upon
occasions under the weight Of heavy
profit realizing sales but these reactionary
movements in no cases attained extensive
PROPORTIONS

Some Large Transactions.

Transactions were largest In the United
States Steel shares. Amalgamated Copper,
American Smelling and Distillers' Securi-
ties. Consolidated Gas continued to
fluctuate widel and apparently the hold
ers of that security must reckon upon
continuing experience pending the adj
juoication by the supreme court OF the
eighfy-cent gas case.
American shares moved irresulagly in
the London stock market and operations
here for foreign account showed q trfiing
excess of sales. The Bank of England's
rae OF discount was left unchanged at o,a
per cent.
Local money market and foreign ex-
change conditions showed TO significan Mt

continued generally reactionary as they
nave been since the appearance OF the

NEW YORK. December 1O.--The stock
market at its present average level of
prices and in view of the great advance
In prices which has taken place within re-
cent months, it is virtually assured that
each days dealings. should exhibit a GER
lain degree of irregularity. Such was
again the case today, but on the other
hand the undertone of the market was so
unquestionably strong that extended COM
ment upon uncertain and reactionary ten
denotes upon occasions would be merely
invidioue
IT is enough to say that at one time or
another during the business session
number Of stocks. including such a con-
spicuous stock as Union Pacific. advanced
here 10 the highest figures attained on the
protracted rise. while in some instances
new hign records of prices for all time
were established.
Ihe stock market opened very strong
and with nothing more than normal and
technical reactions appearing from time
TO time maintained its initial tone re-
markedly well throughout The day. The
volume of business again attained large
aggregate and an exceedingly wide dis
tribution of interest was evinced.
The local traction shares and bonds were
much more conspicuous than they have
been In several weeks. The Interborough
Metropolitan issues were notably strong
and the A.: per cent collateral trust bonds
scored particularly striking advance.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit rose substantial
ly on large transactions and the COM
pany's per cent bonds made even a
more extensive advance.
No explicit explanation of the tenden-
cies OF this quarter of the market
was available. and the movement
there seemed to reflect little more than
the recognition Of the fact that these Sc
curities have thus far failed to enjoy their
share of the betterment shown by other
departments.

The second series of games
was played in Annoy and Aber-

First game was one of the bes t
ametuer games ever played on a
Southern diamond. After four
teen innings with every inch of
the ground contested, the game
was taken by Amory in score
of 3 to 2. Carruth of Tupelo,
Striking out 81 men. Batteries

number of hot ones that they
couldn't handle, striking out fif-
teen men. Batteries Tupelo Troy

played in Amory and the local
team took what was coming to
them and came back home. We
expected nothing more than we
got as it was the last game of
the series.

we saved the band. although the
base drum came back a little

THE NASHVILLE
BOOSTERS HERE
Fine Body of Representative
Men Present the Rock City's
Claims for Business.
CORDIAL RECEPTION GIVEN THEM

The Nashville Booster train ar
rived here at 5 o'clock Monday
afternoon. Following their
band they marched up Main
street accompanied by quite a
number of citizens, who assem-
bled to see them and hear them
talk. At the corner Of Spring
and Main street an improvise
platform of cotton bales furnish
ed a stand for the speakers. The
Boosters were welcomed first by
| Mayor st, Clair in few well
chosen words, after which the
Mayor introduced Hon. John M.
Allen to the crowd. Mr.. Allen
was in a happy vein and his
welcome was of such cordiality
that the visitors could hot feel
but that tney were in the hands
OF their friends. While apprec-
iating the many advantages that
Nashville afforded as a CONNER
cial and educational center, Mr..
Allen took occasion, as he never
fails to do, to say a few words
about Tupelo. Standing upon a
cotton bale and pointing to it,
Mr.. Allen called attention to the
fact that, that was the basis of
the South's wealth and also that
the visitors were in one of the
finest cotton growing counties in
the whsle South. He also called
attention to the fact that the cor
porate limits of Tueplo could
boast of a cotton record that few
towns could claim. Within the
corporate limits of the town the
cotton plant was grown, that
cotton in the seed was ginned,
that the lint was manufactured
into cloth, that the seed was
manufactured into oil. that the
hull from the seed were fed to
beef cattle, and that the meal
from the seed was manufactured
Into commercial fertilizers, the
fertilizer factory being just be-
yond the corporate limits.
A number of visitors made
short speeches in which they
presented some splendid argu-
ments in favor of their town.
Mr.. Leland Hume, the General
Manager of the Cumberland Tel
ephone & Telegraph Co. acted as
chairman and introduced the
visitors.
The party left for a tour cov-
erlng many other points in the
State.
