STEEL HEAVY, BUT RALLIES
DEMAND WELL DISTRIBUTED

NEW YORK, December 23.-The feature
at the opening of the stock market was
the strength of Canadian Pacific and
Southern Railway preferred, which gain
ed Ia and Ia, respectively. In the active
list gains of substantial fractions to a
point were the rule.
Some heaviness was shown in Steel at
the opening, but that stock soon recovered
Its loss. The only severe decline in the
early trading was in Minneapolis. ST.
Paul and Sault Sainte Marie, which fell
rs.
Speculative sentiment became more
cheerful when the market failed to make
ITS usual downward dip following the
demand for stocks, which was reflected
In substantially higher prices all around.
Inc southern group of stocks were espe-
ciaIiy strong. Among the notable ad-
vances were General Electric, 2 points

Nashville. is; Missouri Pacific. IA, and
Union Pacific. Reading, New York Cen

The broad and comprehensive advance
In stocks was well maintained through
out the morning session on a smaller VOL
ume OF business, the movement being ma
terially assisted by extensive short COW
ering. The rise in Canadian Tactic re-
suited from reports that an increase in
the dividend is soon to be made, and the
strength of the Southern Railway group
was concurrent with reports of an early
resumption of dividends on Southern
Railway preferred.
The cOalers, Harriman's and other is
sues in the same class were we'll taken
at rising prices, the advance in Reading
anticipating the issuance of the NOvem-
Der report, which will be published later
in the day. Some of the industrial spe-
cialties, notably United States Rubber

points. Announcement of another ''har-

frightened and rushed from tie office
to escape.
Webster, it seems, had been in Jail
in Brunswick for some time and sew.
eral days ago he was released. After
equipping himself with two or three
quarts of whisky he left the city and
went to Thalmann and has since
made that place his headquarters.
People around the station report that
he has been in an intoxicated condi-
tion ever since he landed there, but
it was not thought that there was
any harm in him.
Sunday night, shortly after the ar
rival of the A., B. & A. passenger

arsenal and, with the remark that
those about the station had been

Of holes The employees in the Office
were amazed at ire mans peculiar ac-
ton and they lost but little time in
making their exit, rushing outside the

was out of ammunition.
