By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, Dec. bonds of the local
traction companies were the most active
securities in Wall trseet to-day. The
stock market was very quiet, standard
issues not being materially changed at
the close of the day. Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, and Steel were ex-
dividend, and lost a slight fraction in
addition to that. Canadian Pacific,
which was ex-dividend, made a slight
gain. On the curb Tobacco and Oil
stocks were quiet because subsidiaries
of both companies are being actually
distributed, and shareholders are wait
ing for some developments to indicate
the value of their new stocks.
Political conditions have more weight
just now than do earnings or dividend
records. The most, important political
influence of to-day was President Taft's
interview. in which he confessed a wish
that he had been more careful in his
discussion of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill. The net result of his interview
was to strengthen the feeling that there
may be a change of administration at
Washington. This was therefore some
thing of an unsettling influence, for It
inJects more uncertainty into next years
Presidential campaign.
Brokers having clients with stock OF
the American Tobacco Company and the
Standard Oil Company were kept busy
answering inquiries as to the proper
prices to ask for the subsidiary stocks
which will be received in a few days.
Books are now closed for the transfer
Of these stocks.

Political Conditions an Important Factor in the
Market-Bid of 200 for "Rights" on
United Cigar Stores Stock

Most brokers accepted the plan origi-
nally suggested in this column immedi-
ately after the Supreme Court decision
was rendered, that is, of holding all the
subsidiary stocks with the original certifi-
Gates until such time as a market may
be developed. If stocks are held In this
way banks will accept them as collateral
CT the same terms that the other stocks
disturbance Of loans. Only few insiders
issues. and it will take several months
nary stockholder can deal with con-
tidence.
Among the mysteries of the American
Tobacco Company was a bid made to-
day of 500 share for rights on United
Cigar Stores stock. The stock itself sold
at 256 at the close. 1t is known that the
company will be reorganized early in 1912,
the present stock being retired for a new
issue representing more nearly the assets
of the concern. This bid OF 500 for the
rights" indicates that something very
handsome will be done Among other
things, it is understood, that the United
Cigar Stores Company will become a
manufacturing as we'll as a selling con-
Germ.
Railroad reports. particularly those of
Pennsylvania and New York Central, at
tracted attention. Pennsylvania showed
a small increase in gross, and New York
Central reported a material increase in
net because Of drastic curbing of operat-
ing expenses on top of a small gross in
crease.

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Reports of applications to the Treasury
Department by national banks during the
past month was issued yesterday by the
Comptroller of the Currency, showing that
twenty applications to organize national
banks in various parts of the country
were received. During the same month
eleven banks with an aggregate capital
of S525, 900 were authorized to begin bust
ness.
OF the applications now pending before
the department, the report shows that
twelve were approved and four rejected.
Five OF the eleven banks authorized to
begin business had Individual capital OF
less than $4,000. while the other six
banks had individual capital of $4,000 or
over.
On NovembeRS 30, 1911. the total number
of national banks authorized was 10,106,
of which number 2,7T4 had discontinued
operation, leaving in existence 1884 banks
with an authorized aggregate capital Of
81, 032, GO, 1S5, and circulation outstanding.
secured by bonds, to the amount OF Sl2,-
lis, S3S. The total amount of the out
standing circulation of national banks
was $739, 764, 346, of which S27.649,0os was
covered by lawful money to a like
amount, deposited with the Treasurer Of
the United States, on account of Hquidat-
ing and insolvent national banks and as
sociations which had reduced their cir
culation.

New York, Dec. 1.-Bradstreet's weekly
review Of trade will tomorrow say, in
part:
Weather and holiday influences have
dominated distributive trade this week
Cold weather throughout q wide area,
the cool wave penetrating far to the
South, has helped seasonable trade in
winter-wear goods, especially clothing
and footwear, at retail; favored the dis
tributien of groceries, and also measure
bly, helped demands upon jobbers for
goods for immediate shipment while
spring trade has tended to conservatism
similar to that hitherto noted. Holiday
exhibits and demand have been more IN
evidence, and the prospects Of that par
ucular branch of trade are classed as
fair to good. In line with the past and
present relatively low prices Of cotton
are the revision Of prices of bleached
goods and sheetings reported this week,
but the print-cloth market has held firm.
Among the industries there Is evident
rather fuller volume Of production
than for some time past. Prominent in
this line are iron and steel, evoked prob
ably by the recent placing Of liberal car
orders by railroads
Pig iron has sold well. though II is
to be reiterated that some Of the activity
is at the expense of prices. Fairly good
reports come from the wooden goods
manufacturing land kindred trades
Buying activity in raw wool has
shifted TO fleece woods.
Business failure for the week ended
November 90 were 213. against 29S last
week and PIT a year ago.

Monetary Commission to Meet.

The National Monetary Commission
will meet to-day for final work before
presenting to Congress the Aldrich plan
of a central banking organization. The
commission has devoted three years
study to the problem Of currency reform,
and volumes of literature have been
prepared on the subject. 1t is now
planned to present the report to Con-
gress with bill covering the features
OF the Aldrich plan, which will present
the subject In practical form.
There is said to be little likelihood of
the bill passing Congress at the next
session, because of opposition based
chiefly on prejudice to Aldrich's interest
in the plan. A feature OF the bill will
be the presentation OF the fact that I'M
der the Aldrich plan a Western farmer
can borrow money from his home banker
at the same rate charged to a millionaire
in Wall street.

police and reinforcements from the
surrounding cities, 5000 troops of in
fantry of cavalry under Gen. Mackin-

The troops, as was shown during the

The riot in Great Homer street,
while not directly connected with the
strike. had good effect in its out

dued. The trouble began when a con-
stable arrested a man for having as
saulted a woman. Roughs rescued
the prisoner from the officer and the
police reserves, who were hurriedly
called, could not control the mob
which vented its fury wrecking the
shops in the neighborhood. Then 200
troops were brought to the scene and
after bayonet charge and the firing
Of q volley into the air, the disturb
ance was quelled. Many of the mob
were arrested.
