STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Weak and Declines Gen.
eraI-CaII Money Higher.

Starting with a dull and heavy tone
yesterdays stock market followed me
line Of least resistance and slowly bat
surely reached lower levels and cen
firmed bearish predictions. Southern
Pacific which for several days has Deen
destined by the pessimists to touch low
er prices, opened at a new low for this
year, which gave promise TO the bears
of fulflrnent of their forecasts. Union
Pacific also was weak, while United
States steel and Amalgamated Copper,
along with other issues in the early
trading. displayed declining tendencies.
There was a lack of firmness not Only
in the standard issues but in the spe-
Gals as well. some Of which have been
the chief elements Of strength in the
stock market lately. but yesterday they
fell in line and sold down. Searching
for some stimulant which would have
reviving effect on prices was like
looking for the proverbiai needle in tho
haystack. as such news that al "iher
times might have been turned L. ne
profit of the bulls yesterday only a"""I
to bearish sentiment already very pro-
nounced. The announcement that the
sale of Union Pacifc's holdings OF
Southern Pacific stock had been adV2n-
tageOusly arranged was not accei tel
at its apparent face value, and both 49,
sues continued to show saeging ten
dency. The fact that the NJ. Rumely
Company was 10 have An underwriting

which new financing announcements
are supposed to reflect.
The suggested relations l. Neen the
United States and Mexico as A result of
the present revolutionary situation in
that republic added TO the weight OH
stock market prices more as result OF
sympathy than any direct influence at
present. However. with a gloomy out
look abroad and unfavorable conditions
politically prevailing here, war news
from any quarter Of the globe would
have been accepted yesterday as an
evil omen TO the stock market. More
convincing signs were evident that a
period of tighter money is coming
throughout the world The stock mar
ket Of London and the Continental
bourses reflected that fact, and it was
shown in this market by an advance
in call loans and a loss by New York
banks TO the Sub-Treasury. The firm
tone of time money which has been
shown since the first of the year has
been sufficient evidence that call money
could not remain easy. Bankers who
bid Az for time loans around the first
of the wear, expecting 10 be allotted
enough TO meet their requirements,
have been disappointed and have oeen
forced 10 raise the bids TO secure
money. The prospect of easy money
will not be frightened so long az dis
turbances continue in the Balkans. and
il Is possible that even after a peace
settlement financing requirements
throughout the world will absorb all
available funds and keep money at
moderately hard rates.

Uses Prisoners on Road
West Virginia Sheriff Building High.
way Near Clarksburg.

CLARKSBURG. w. Va, Dec. 22.-.-
While the state of West Virginia has
decided that convicts shall not be en-
ployed in the construction OF high.
ways till mild weather of the spring
sets in, Sheriff Ross Stout of Harri-
son county. has taken the initiative
and is employing a gang Of neErly 50
county prisoners in building an ex-
tension Of the road at Staley Heights,
out of ClarkSburg.
The interesting feature of this
work Is that citizens Interested In
the construction of the road sub
scribed funds for the feelings of the
prisoners while at work IN e"Open,
and charitable women have also con.
tributcd to this end. Women OF
Clarksburg have banded together In
groups, and have taken turns in fur
nishing dinners for the prisoners on
the road. This experiment is watch
ed with particular interest, because
the workmen are constructing, not
makeshift roads. but permanent high.
ways, with cobble stone base, filler
Of crushed stone, and a dressing OF
asphalt.
