FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
LITTLE ANIMATION.
Decided Shrinkage in Dealings-Price
 Movement Mixed.

New York, Dec. 15.-The Reading dividend increase gave the stock mar ket the only semblance of animation it enjoyed today, coming after period of torpid dullness. Traders had diffi
 culty in following the shifting trend of the market and the mixed movement of prices at all times. The decided shrinkage in the volume of the mar ket was the most notable feature of the day. The Reading dividend situa- tion had aroused a good deal of uneasy surmise. The weakness of the stock yesterday and at times today gave rise to an impression that the strongly claimed hopes of a dividend increase were to be disappointed. The event pointed rather to the conclusion that many wary speculative holders had preferred to cash in their profits on the vague hopes of an increase rather than to await possible crush of profit taking sales on the actual increase. The progress of the recent market to sell off on good news gave point to this apprehension. The rumors on the sub- ject alleged that the Lehigh dividend was to be raised as preliminary. to the Reading increase. With the an- nouncement of the change in the form but not in the amount of the Lehigh Valley dividend Reading rallied from it's weakness and rose above ITO for the first time during the day. The actual announcement of the increase in the Reading dividend to the six per cent. rate came in the last half hour of the market. There was a spas modic jump in the stock to I'll 3-4, but it sold off again and carried back the general market with it to an ir- regular closing. This interrupted a general recovery from the early weak ness common to the whole list. Use was made as a depressing influence of the formal declaration of war against the open shop position of the United States Steel corporation by the labor conference at Pittsburg. There was little change in the local money mar ket. The call loan rate touched five per cent. again. An incident of the day was the payment of the Standard oil dividend, which called for the dis bursement of $10,0e0,0O0. As herald of the coming yearly disbursement of large sums in interest and dividends this attracted notice. Reports from the great retail establishments in New York city reported an unprecedented holiday trade. The advance in prices in the last hour was the most compre- hensive of the day, but it was partly lost in the reaction following the Read ing dividend announcement Bonds were steady. Total sales, par. value $4,026,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

The Regals, playing in the St. Lou Is star bowling league, last night broke the worlds record of 1,207 for single game by making 1,2S5.
 Jack Flynn. the star first baseman for the St. Paul team, now law stu dent at Georgetown university, was sold Tuesday to the Pittsburg Nation als for s4,0O0.
 Louis Traub, Cincinnati bowler, has bet $100 even that he will roll ten pound ball down the Enterprise alleys 100 times in succession without touching either of the end pins.
 Brooklyn has asked for waivers on twenty-six players, including Andy Herbst and Kid Sherwoo, who were drafted from New Haven last season. Both men will undoubtedly return to the New Havns.
 According to statement by John Robinson of Chicago, who has been acting as agent for Battling Nelson, the Dane has accepted terms for a match with Fred Welch, the British lightweight champion.
 Manager Teller of Springfield. when informed that Murray Parker was con- templating a trip to Cuba to play during the winter, said that there was Ouly one InlHS worse than WlnCer Ddll and that was more inter ball. Parker played all last winter in California and returned east only to prove the biggest disappointment in the Connec- ticut league.
 All kinds of trades are being talked of at the baseball meting in New York Catcher Lou Criger is slated to go to the Highlanders and President Hedges of the St. Louis Browns has asked for bids on Stone, Ferris, Will Hams and Rube Waddell. Washington would like Ferris and Chicago seems anxious to take either Williams or the cratic Rube.
 Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates found time Monday to sign Fred Clarke to two years contract to lead the Buccaneers. Barney didn't say what Clarke would receive from him in the way of salary in 1910 and 1911. but intimates that the Kansas agricul- turist was the highest priced leader in captivity. "And Clarke doesn't get a percentage of the profits, either" said Barney. "Clarke's contract with us is a straight one and cannot be broken by my calling him a Fat Head"
