New York, Dec. S1.-The closing day
of the year in Wall street witnessed a
quiet an strong. but irregular. and what
was, considering the advances made IN
certain stocks, curiously uninteresting
stock market. 1t was market, however,
as it has been through the month. Of
specialities. AT the outset OF business
there was a sharp renewal OF the advance
in Rock Island common stock; but the
movement was one with which the great
mass Of the financial community seemed
to concern itself not at ali.
Brooklyn Union Gas stock, an inactive
issue. rose six points on recurring stories
of q consolidation with the Consolidated
Gas Company. and the Consolidated Gas
shares themselves held with frmness
their rise of the last few days. A rise
OF over two points in Third Avenue stock
was due presumably 10 the statement
regarding the earning power OF the com
pany made by Mr.. Whitridge the Third
Avenues receiver. at yesterdays hearing
before the public service commission.
Advance in Pacific COnst.
There was relatively large buying Of
the National Railways of Mexico issues
and an advance OF 6l2 points in Pacihc
Coast second preferred.
Chesapeake and Ohio stock also made a
new high record. selling at 91IG It may be
said that strength in these quarters, being
those in which either ownership Of the
stock IS so concentrated or the price level
at which they stand is so high as com
pared with their known earning power,
could not be expected to stimulate the
general stock market very much.
But the singular thing about the market
was that neither was there any general
upward impulse afforded by the buying Of
more than 10000 shares OF Southern Pa
cIfic stock, with a net advance Of more
than three points in the price OF the
security. or such an upward movement
in the Atchison shares as resulted in a
net gain IN its price OF one and one-fourth
points.
Profit-taking Going On.
While all this was going on, profit
taking was noticeable In many issues that
have recently been market leaders. such
az the Wabash, Notwithstanding Chem
ical, Western Maryland certificates. Texas
Pacific. and other stocks, while the United
States Steel common shares were dis
tlnetly heavy from the beginning 10 the
end OF the day. and the Pennsylvania
Great Northern, New York Central, and
other prominent stocks were likewise
backward.
further break occurred to-day in
sterling exchange, which again accentu-
ated discussion as to whether the weak
ness In sterling is due TO renewed borrow
ing by our bankers abroad or by an un-
loading OF long exchange improvidently
accumulated; but the striking feature
OF the money market was the fact that
to-day when preparations for Mondays
disbursements had to be completed the
call money rate did not rise about 6 -
per cent, and that money lent most OF
the day on call at 8 per cent

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Yesterdays session Of the local stock
exchange was a reminder Of the old
times when Washington Gas was in the
ascendant, almost to the neglect of other
securities. Yesterday Gas was not only
active but scared in price ~ points
above previous high figures on the pres
ent movement in the stock. The sudden
rise In price was ascribed to inquiry for
the stock from New York or other North
ern sources Il was said yesterday
morning that a still hunt for the shares
had been going on for a day or two. and
that prices up 10 70 had been offered for
the stock in any amount available.
When Gas was reached on call II be-
came evident that more than the ordi-
nary interest centered in the security.
Bids were many and clamorous offers
within range were snapped up, no longer
by one broker, but by several who had
Unexpectedly developed q desire to ac-
quire the stock. The stock was offered
on call quite freely at 70. but at that
time the bid price did not advance be
yond 7S12 After call the buying brokers
took the offerings at 70, buying in all
apparently in sight at that price.
It was rumored that the gas company
would make some announcement at the
turn Of the year comforting to the stock
holders. but it was impossible to get an
admission OF any such intention from
those responsible FOR the management Of
the affairs Of the concern. II they in
tend TO put out an increase of stock or
otherwise benefit the stockholders the
facts are being kept with the usual Sc
crecy which prevails In the counsels Of
the company. It IS possible that all
the rumor. including the inquiries from
the North and the other evidences that
the company intends to do something eX-
traordinary. are mere stock obbing prop
ositions to affect the price Of the stock
locally.

WONDERFUL GROWTH.

The rapid advancement of the Sal var Medicine Company is attracting attention in all parts of this country; their business the past year showed net gain of more than 300 per cent over the previous year. Their express business is the largest of any medi- cal concern in St. Louis. more than 600 single packages left their office in the past two weeks. Fully one half of this company's business is transacted with the regular profes- sion and regular hospitals in this country, and Is rapidly spreading to foreign lands.
 The rapid increase of this com pany's business is due almost entirely to the work the remedy is performing. as very little advertising has been in- dulged in, the cures made are the real advertisements that carry weight and conviction of the true worth and mer- its of the remedy.
 We thank the public for their lib eral patronage and sincerely hope for a continuance of the same.
 The company is regularly incorpor- ated with pair-up capital of s250,000 registered in this state and licensed, stands on a par with any bank. insur- ance company or other corporation in the state.
 As to our financial and commercial standing and rating we refer to Brad streets, any bank will look us up for you.
 Wishing all bright, prosperous, happy, healthy new year. we are.

Punctuation.

In the earliest Latin inscriptions
and manuscripts 40 system of pune
tuation is followed. The full point
y was gradually introduced, being
placed on the level, middle or top
of the letters. In the minuscule
manuscripts of the eighth, ninth
and following centuries the period,
on the line or high, was first used;
then the comma and semicolon and
the inverted semicolon, whose pow
er was rather stronger than that of
the comma. Some say that the
Caroline minuscules of the ninth
century exhibit the note Of interro-
CATION, for which the inverted semi
colon, which was gradually dropped,
may have furnished the mark. The
Greeks use the semicolon as an in
terrogation point In English the
colon is said to have been intro
duced about 1856, the comma about
1901 and the semicolon about 1870.
In Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia
(15s7) all the punctuation points
appear, including the note of inter-
rogation, asterisk and parentheses.
