WALL STREET IN
EXPEGTANT MOOD

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The closing day
of the year in the stock market reflected
an expectant tone of good things to come
with the opening of the new year, rather
than the direct operation of present fav-
orable influences in the trading. January
will see the largest sum disbursed in
profits that has ever occurred in SINH
lar period in New York.
The stock market was characterized by
the great number of separate securities
dealt in. process of price adjustments,
slso was in progress. The most conspicu-
ems feature of the list was Southern Pa
cifo. Talk Of probable increase in the
dividend in this stock in February was
made prominent in the days market pro-
cedings.
Rock Island made another advance and
the 6ling Of the report Of the investigat
ing committee of the furry in that stock
last Monday made it the subject of COM
r,sn+ II was believed that a way would
be found to proclaim that the Rock Island
enisode was as distasteful to the senti-
meut of the stock exchange element itself
as to the public at large. Speculative
oDirfon attaches some Importance to the
expression and formulation of this senti-
-ment for the assurance it may carry to
the public at large.
Besides the generally cheerful forward
view taken Of affairs, a good deal of
strength sning effect on the speculation
was caused by the backward surveys of
the achievement of the closing year. The
enormous -ecuperation effected, according
to every trustworthy index. and feeling
of confidence in the substantial character
OF that progress and in its soundness as
point of departure for additional advance,
made strong undertone for the STOCK
market.
Quiet confidence, rather than jubilant
enthusiasm. was the dominant note. The
conservative restraint comes from the
labor outlook. in connection with the high
cost of living and from the questions of
legal restraints on corporations which are
TO assume prominence at an early period
in the new year.
The expected relaxation in the money
market also is not looked for immediately
next week. The slender surplus disclosed
BY the actual figures of the bank state
nsent after the close of the market, goes
to Justify this view.

How Fast Does Corn Grow?

We often hear this question ask
ed but have never been able to give
a satisfactory result, Here are a few
figures that were handed us by a
farmer who lives east of town. July
9Th at one o'clock he commenc ed
to measure the growth of stalk OF
corn and took measurements at
given hours for one week. He
found that from Jnly 9th at one
o'clock until July IS at the same
hour the corn had made a growth
of 81 inches, or an average of a
little over 51A inches day. For
the first thirty hours of the time
the corn's growth was 80 inches.
The longest growth for one day
was 6 inches and rhe shortest
growth for one day was 4A inches
During the time the measurements
were taken the weather was hot, as
a consequence the growth was
rapid and even.-Elgin Echo.
