PIECES WERE
HES|IAT|NG
Movement Had No Relation
to Outside Influences
Which Were Opposite

New York. Dec. 19.-Prices moved
in a hesitating, uncertain "a today
on the stock exchange. The under
tone was heavy, and toward the end of
the day the drift became more de-
cidedly downward, sc that at the close
losses of a point or so were frequent.
The movement seemed to bear no
relation to outside influences. which
on the whole, were favorable. The
improvement of the banks position
as shown by the weekly clearing
house report. and the huge gain in
foreign trade revealed in the figures
for the year were developments over
the end of the week on which bull
traders relied for some improvement,
but no response was made to these
influences.
Trading was lively at the opening.
1t WAS apparent that stocks were be-
ing sold as fast as the market could
absorb them and traders on the long
issues showed a fair degree Of
strength, but yielded later under a
steady supply. Lehigh Valley was the
exception. 1t rose to 1874 1-2. the
highest price in several months, on a
continuation Of the accumulation
which was in progress last week.
United States Steel displayed none
of its recent strength. 1t moved with
the other industrials and closed a
point off. Steel manufacturers re-
ported that there had been no falling
expected that the demand for rails
would shortly become more active.
A large part of the speculative in
terest was attached to h trading In
Union Pacific, which has been sold
freely for several days. The stock
was under pressure throughout the
day. Its heaviness acted as a drag
on the market and was influential in
depressing prices at the close. There
were several 1-ovements Of considera-
BILE size among the specialties. I'm
derwood typewriter showed pro-
nounced weakness and declined more
than six points. On the curb" United
Cigars broke % points.
The fortnightly figures of the Euro.
pean supply of copper were more fav-
orable than had been expected. While
been looked for it vas thought the
change would be comparatively small,
owing to the heavy shipments from
this country during the past three
weeks.
The decrease of nearly 100000
pounds bore out recent reports of bet
ter trade conditions in England an6
Germany.
The inflow Of cash from the in
terror cities continues and there wa:
an easier tone in the time marke
for money. Banks are making pre-
parations for year end disbursement!
at the close Of next week and it wa!
evident that foreign institutions nigh
make their influence felt in shapint
the market here, as Germany is still
bidding for money to carry borrow
ers over the year and settlement.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales
par value. ~$3,SOS,O00. United State
bonds were unchanged on call.

REVOKE LICENSE
Statclinc Saloon Near Beach Goes Out
Of Business.

Beach, n. D.. Dec. 19.-With the
close of the first six months business
at the State Line saloon. just across
in Dawson county, the commissioners
have refused to renew the license held
by w. II. Rucker and company. and
the saloon is understood to have been
closed.
The Rucker thirst emporium was
designed for the purpose of enjoying
the privileges of Montana's wide open
laws while catering to North Dakota's
wide open thirst. In that respect it
has been a success. though subject to
some criticism because Of its opera
ton at a place where law and order
regulations are difficult to enforce.
People of Wibaux have interested
themselves in the development of a
small trading point at State Line,
partly as ar Offset to the division of
their territory by the people of Yates,
and partly because of their wish to
settle some personal scores here in
Beach. 1t is claimed that work will
continue on the buildings being erect
ed there, which will include a bank, a
store and other places of business.
The recall of the county license will
apparently make the building Of q
town there rather dry work.
