BEAR RAID FAILS ON
NEW YORK EXCHANGE
Market Dull. With President
Wilson's Note to Great Brit
ain Chief Factor.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30-Selling At the
opening by traders who endeavored to
create a bear" market on the strength
OF this Governments demands upon
Great Britain in connection with its
commerce carried stocks down slightly
during the first hour.
a rallying tendency asserted itself,
however, when the sellers realized that
their raid on the market was not being
generally responded to, and they we're
forced to cover.
The market then became very dull and
such trading as was INDUCED IN was
extremely narrow, very few issues be-
ing dealt in. The chief topic among the
brokers is the American note to Great
Britain, and the general opinion eX-
pressed is that the result Will be more
liberal treatment of American shipping.

thaler Linotype Company wee renuer-
Z ed yesterday by Judge Hough, OF the
FEDERAL District Court, in the patent
| litigation brought by that company
against the International Typesetting
Machine Company, recently placed in
the hands OF receivers.
In the original plead ngs twenty-eight
| patents were mentioned, but against
most OF these claims OF infringement
| were withdrawn as the case progressed,
and consequently the decision dealt only
with two patents. In one case tho
, court held that the complainant had
been so slightly affected that costs were
not necessary. In the other case the
| usual costs were allowed.

NOT TO SUSPEND RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Allows Increase ON Mileage Books.

Its decision not to suspend the pro-
posed increases in mileage book rates
on the eastern railroads, effective at
midnight tonight. was formally an
nounced last night by the interstate
commerce commission. Protests against
the increases had been filed by many
organizations and individuals.
The commission, however, suspended
tariffs filed by the New York Central
lines. under which mileage books sold
prior to October l on basis Of 2 cents
a mile would not be honored for trans
portation after that date. The sus-
pended tariffs provided that the unused
portions of the books would be redeem
ed by the selling lines at the purchase
price. The commission viewed these
tariffs as a violation of contract and
therefore suspended them until jan
uary 20, 1915, pending an investigation.
