Bergen Road improvements

JERSEY CITY, Dec. I.-The sale

been held up as the result of a writ
obtained from Judge Parker here by
Harry NJ. Newkirk, of Ridgewood.

order. stopping any progress in the
disposal of the bonds until after the
review OF yesterdays proceedings is
made. 1t Is returnable in Jersey City
on January 9.
Newkirk, through Mr.. Price, stated
that he was taking this step simply
from the power he has as citizen
and taxpayer OF Bergen county. The
part of the transaction that dis
pleases Newkirl1 Is the fact that the
bonds were issued to r. M. Grant 81
Co., of New York, whose bid was only
$3.50 in excess of the purchase value
of the bonds, while the bid of Har-
son-Forbes & Co, of New York.
which was $4,000 in excess Of the
value and represented just such a
greater amount of saving to the
county, was rejected.
The bonds were for total OF
$t25, 900, which the board says is
needed Immediately for road i'm
provements, mainly on Paramus,
Fort Lee and Franklin turnpikes and

Closing IrreguIar-FinaI Hour
Featured by Weakness of
Gould Holdings.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The close OF
today's stagnant session also marked
the conclusion of the dullest year in
the local stock market since 1873.
1880 a. MA firmer tone was shown
by stocks in today's early circum-
scribed dealings. Reading and ANAL
gamated Copper opened at slight ad-
vances, while Union Pacific and Penn
sylyania rose from Il to point.
American Telephone selling ex-divi-
dends also advanced a substantial
fraction. U. S. Steel and Southern
Pacific were steady at yesterday 8
close. The only weak issues were the
stock and 4 per cent. bonds of the
Western Maryland Railroad, which
added to their decline of yesterday
in connection with the impending de-
fault of interest on the company's
notes.
Noon-Trading showed no marked
increase with the passing of the
early session, but the undertone was
firmer. Aside from the few material
gains in the railway group, there were
advances of point or better in Beth
lehem Steel Central Leather, West
inghouse and some more obscure spe-
cialties. Amalgamated also gained a
full point, with points for Great
Northern ore certificates. The short
interest continued to cover its OUT
standing commitments. Cables from
london indicated a more cheerful
feeling at that centre in connection
with next weeks reopening Of the ex-
change. Bonds were steady.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Rains inter-
fering with the Argentine harvest
gave a little firmness to the wheat
market today, but the effect soon wore
off. Uncertainty as to the export out
look and in regard to the shipping DIFF
ficulty with Great Britain gave an ad-
vantage to the bears. 1t was an
nounced that ocean freight rates con-
tinued to advance. and that charters
were surprisingly few. After opening

went a sag that for the most part
went well under last nights level.
Afterward a decided rally took
place starting with cash buying for
Portland, Me. and for relief work il
| Belgium. 1t was estimated later that
EXPORT sales for twenty-four hours
amounted to 100000 bushels. The
close was unsettled at ss to rs net
advance.
Absence of any urgent demand
weakened corn. The market was also
affected by the setback, in wheat.
Opening prices, which varied from d
shade off TO a up, were followed by a
down turn that carried the market

Gus close.
Chances for shipments to the Cana

Across Ocean Increase

GALVESTON, Tex. Dec. s1.-In-
creases in ocean freight rates for
cotton from Galveston to European
ports since the outbreak of the war
range from 55 cents to s2.s5 per hun
dred pounds.
Before the war rates to Liverpool,
Hayre and Bremen were approx
mately 45 cents per hundred; to Bar
celona and Genoa 65 cents. and Co.
thenburE and other Scandinavian
ports so to 65 cents. Present quota
tions to these ports are: Liverpool.
81 per 100 pounds; Havre, $1.20 to
