DISTRICT aids POOR
BY GENEROUS GIFTS
Fourteen Families Relieved Through
Donations to Associated Charities.

In the hurry and hustle OF Christ
mas shopping and giving washinston
remembered Its poor.
Requiring o greater amount this
year than ever before, the Associated
Charities announced last night that
the amount required to supply the
necessaries OF life to fourteen families
had been obtained and probably would
be 1overcontributed.
Annually fourteen "opportunities'..
are made public by the society ten
days before Christmas with requests
for aid. Among the last-minuts gifts
received last night was Q check for
500, the donor OF which requested his
name be withheld.
Checks for hundreds Of dollars Sign
ed by some OF the most prominent per-
sons IN the city. and contributions Of
pennies, nickels and dimes from chill
dren not very far removed from want
themselves were received and made
up the total
II is probable additional gifts are
still in the mails and the amount over
the sum set will be used to keep the
families from need for as long a period
as possible.
A letter Of thanks to The Herald
for its aid in the campaign for the
funds was received yesterday from
Cuno H. Rudolph, president OF the
society. Mr.. Rudolph thanked all WASH
ington newspapers for their help in
getting the necessary money and ex-
pressed the thanks Of the Associated
Charities to the people of Washington
for their generous support.

VERY Dull MARKET
| ON LOCAL EXCHANGE
Only Sales Were of Capital Trac-
ton and a W. r. & E. Bond.

Business on the local stock ex-
change was extremely dull yesterday.
the attendance Of the brokers was

terest in the buying.
A few sales Of Capital Traction at

RAILROADS RECEDE
ON N. Y. EXCHANGE
Market Closes Heavy After Down
ward Trend-Peaee Rumored.
By BRoADAN WALL,

New York. Dec. 26.-stocks closed
heavy today after . day in which
the trend was distinctly downward
throughout most OF the session. The
opening was good, with prices OF
only fractionaliy. Then selling Of
the railroads began Just as It did
week ago. Baltimore and Ohio,
both common and preferred, went to
new low records and in the course
OF the day 81. Paul preferred, Brook
lyn r. T., and National Conduit es-
tabllshed new low figures Consolt-
dated Gas touched its previous low
record. International Nickel was
heavy.
Peace was talked of a good deal
and, while nobody really believed
there was any basis for It, every
brokerage house in the Street was
very conservative on that subject.
Those houses that have had a great
deal OF experience with German af-
fairs in past years imagine they saw
in the Kaiser's latest utterances q
change Of heart. This idea, how
ever. was ridiculed by Thomas W,
lamont, partner of Morgan and
c. mpany, who issued q statement ad-
vising people TO prepare not only
for the campaign OF 1913, but for
1919 and 1890. This statement Of La
inont's was perhaps the dominant
influence OF the day. for Il took all
the life out Of the market.
Expectation that the President will
announce his decision to take over
the railroads and appoint q dictator
for the business caused confusion
among railroad stockholders. They
do not fear the Presidents action
so much as they do the possible ac-
ton Of Congress. The men mentioned
as possible dictators gave them no
worry. but they fear that Congress
may want stockholders to accept
very poor terms for the period Of
government control.
Delaware and Hudson directors con-
tlnued their dividend at the regu-
lar rate. Their present earnings fully
justified that rate. but they took
the precaution to declare It only for
one quarter Instead OF for the whole
year. as they usually do.

the courtA This disposition was due,
Mr.. Vanderbilt said, to the fact that
he was regarded as the owner Of al
most all Of the stock Of the New
York Central. Therefore, he had de-
ternined to part with O large block
Of stock and sought Mr.. Morgan's aid
in doing this privately. Mr.. Morgan,
with his customary intuitive judg-
ment. said that he could sell private
ly in London by practically over-the-
counter methods, all The stock Mr..
Vanderbilt was willing to dispose Of,
and that he could do this at what was
then the market price for the stock,
40 per share.
Thus In q conference that lasted but
q short time Mr.. Vanderbilt commits
stoned Mr.. Morgan to sell In London
q block OF New York Central stock
OF the par value OF t25, 900.
This transaction, which was one OF
the largest made up to that time by
any American, was compassed by Mr..
Morgan with great skill and when 1t
was completed, then public announce
ment was made Of the fact that Mr..
Vanderbilt had sold a block OF stock
at 81. 900 par value to London in
vestors. Who those investors were was
for many years n secret. Mr.. Morgan
had done something which was with
out precedent In American finance.
For never before had there been q
large outright sale direct to English
investors in American railway securi-
ties. Furthermore. It put an end to
criticism of Mr.. Vanderbilt.
Now. In . little more than a gen.
eration's time the American public
has absorbed within three years and
probably in part through the present
house Of J. p. Morgan q Co., nearly
all Of the stock which Mr.. Morgan
sold for Mr.. Vanderbilt In London.
This one transaction added to and. in
fact, made permanent Mr.. Morgan's
prestige as Q consummately able man
