Sellin ir Ireore More Than Counter balanced bf HuIIUli SentimentLocal Trade I Reactionary. At New York yesterday menej on calt was steady at 3Q lr cent.; last loan. 5 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4t?3Vi per cent. Sterling exchange was steady, with actual business In tankers' bills at 14.81 'or demand and M.So'-itri-W)1 for rtxty days; posted rates, J4.S1H and 14.83li; commercial bills, 4.799 4.o;. Silver certificates were 645j63c; bar silver, 62c; Mexican dollars, 40c Bar silver at London sold at 20!id an ounce. There was no alteration In the character of the stock market yesterday. Trading continued on a large scale. Possibly the effect was a trifle less broad than on some previous days of the week. The buy Ins; phowed a tenden cy to concentration in a few stocks. The London market showed depression, and this emphasized the Impression of Friday's rather sharp Felling movement near the close here. Professional operators, therefore, fell on the market at the t.penlng." but they made scarcely more than a momentary Impression. Powerful support was forthcoming at the decline, and before the end of the day the tide of rrices had turned strongly upward again. The existence of a short Interest formed Friday had something to do with the resiliency, as tne bears were very timid about leaving accounts open over the holidays. The continued case of money, in spite of the carrying over of loans until Wednesday, and the favorable forecast cf the bark rtatement gave the final fillip to the market, and It closed strong at the top level, the late proflttaklnff sales being confidently absorbed. The extraordinary speculation In Northern Pacillc is based on the benefit to accrue from the retirement of the preferred stock, canceling Its privilege to hax net eamins In excess of 4 per cent, on common. This called attention to ether common stock whose preferred stock are limited by the terms of the lsue in their dividend rights. Atchison common and Denver & lllo Grande, Union Facine and Southern Hallway were thus affected. There was a renewal of the advance In SL Paul, and Southern Pacific was lifted above its former record prce to near 45. Sugar had its period of strength, and Brooklyn Transit rallied strongly after early weakness on account of the statement of earnings for November. All of these movements were more or less manipulative, but the speculation showed the samt? readiness as for some time to follow quickly any marked leadership. The Indications are that the movement of currency this week has turned strongly in favor of New York, and the estimates of the amount received on balance for the direct movement by expres mn up to over fJ.Ojo.OC). jn addition the banks have gained $l.31.0oO on subtreaury operations. The banks outside of New York are known to have continued to lend heavily on the Stock Exchange during the week. This gave rise to the belief that the bank statement will show another heavy decline In dejosits, as the outside barks, in placlrs loans hvre, draw on their deposits In New York banks. A decline in the deposit Item would, of course, result in a shrinkage of reserve requirements to the benefl: of the surplc. The bond market continued active, but there were some reactions on prcflt-taklnsr. Total sales at par value were S4.610.OtO. ITnited States threes, old fours and lives declined U ler cent.

Trade Quieting Down in Many- Lines, While Prices Are Well Held. Trade already begins to feel the approach of the holilays in several lines. In fact, the wholesale grocers, the confectioners, the produce merchants and commission houses are the oniy really busy operators. In these lines the business Is of such a holiday character that the merchants are hard pushed, but-with Saturday their turn -will come, as retail merchants are always light buyers between Christmas and New Tear's, and with such conditions changes in values have been slight, and usually. If any, in the way of advances. Eggs, poultry and butter rule easy at prices quoted, and if present weather conditions continue a further break In the egg market is imminent. All fruits are ruling steady at current prices. The supply In the several varieties of apples, oranges and tropical fruits is ample to meet the demand. The local grain market . sxws considerable activity. All arrivals are readily taken at the following range of prices on the track, as reported by the secretary of the Hoard of Trade: Wheat No. 2 red. 734c; No. t red. on milling freight, 734c; No. 3 red, 70tf72c; wagon wheat. 754c.

Whlte-IInlred Justice So 3Iored Her Pitiful Story that He lieleased Her on ProhntlonBOSTON', Mass., Dec. 21. The most remarkable criminal case tried In a Massachusetts Superior Court In many year?, and which aroused Intense Interest In the fashionable Back Bay district, was ended yes-, terday, when Judge Bond probatloned Marlon Regan, who had blinded for life Dr. Frank L. Taylor, a dentist, by throwing vitriol in his face, out of reveng:e for betrayal. The young girl had early appeared before the judge and told her pitiful story and showed the white-haired justice her little babe, of which she claimed Taylor was the father. She said that Taylor, after he had wrecked her life, had told her that he was irresistible among women by reason of his good looks. In announcing his decision Judge Bond said that from the evidence it appeared that Dr. Taylor had sought out Miss Regan knowing .he was a virtuous woman, who had in no way wronged him, for the sole purpose of causing her ruin; and after he had accomplished it by fraud and deception and the use of intoxicating liquors, ?f not by drugs, he unfeelingly cast her off without assistance, and advised her to resort to a life of prostitution, and even boasted of his dlFgraceful conduct with this young woman and with others whom he had ruined. "Such a man," the judge added, "is so vile that I have no sympathy or pity for him in his unfortunate condition." Judge Bond said he regretted that Miss Began did not leave the punishment of her letrayer to a higher power than herself. As to the possibility that similar acts of personal vengeance would follow the probatlonlpg of this prisoner, the judge said that such acts were so rare none ever having come before him in his forty years on the bench that he would take the risk and older the release of the prisoner on probation.. Poison In the Candy. EVERETT, Wash.. Dec. 21. An attempt to poison at least one member of the family of W. B. Bell by means of poisoned candy has come to light. Mrs. Bell discovered in a refrigerator the cover of a large pall, partly filled with chocolate drops, placed exactly where she was In the habit of leaving a luncheon for her eight-year-old son.

Wheat was fairly active to-day. and May. under the ustainlnC Influence closed unchanged, and provisions 24c oepressed. While wheat prices were maintained the greater part of the session, the undertone was a trifle easy. With Liverpool firm. Argentine shipments smaller than the week previous and considerably under a year aco, with moderate Northwestern receipts and an unusually heavy export flour demand reported from Minneapolis, May opened onU He higher at 73l.c and I then auicklr slumped to 72c. Here shorts Degan to take cognizance of the situation as shown by the early news, and a reaction began. This was helped along later by reports of an export demand and by St. Louis purchasing, under which May rallied to 734c The bulge met the vsual profit-taking, but the close was steady. May 4c higher at 730734c. New York reported forty-nine loads taken for export. Sea board clearances In wheat and flour were equal to 513,000 bu. Primary receipts aggregated 633,000 bu, compared with 504.000 bu last year. Minne apolis and Duluth reported 346 cars, against 4C1 last week and 410 a year ago. Local receipts were ICS cars, thirty-two of contract grade. Ar gentine shipments last week were 536,000 bu. compared with 712.WO tne weeK previous anu 1,024.000 a year ago. Corn was heavy and dull, both for near and distant futures, but the decline was much the heaviest for the distant months" delivery, although the receipts, 667 cars, again contained none of grading contract. December was for sale at the start, and there seemed to be no demand for It. The opening was at 404c to 3&4c, and In a few minutes the price touched SSc. When shorts attempted to get it, however. a rally to 394c followed. The close found this delivery weak, l?ic under yesterday at 3Sic There was a good shipping demaud, but business, as usual, was curtailed by a lack of cars.

Declares that If lie Had the Profit on Armor Plate He Would Dulld , War Vessels at Cost. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 21.-Charles H. Cramp, head of the Cramp Shipbuilding Company, appeared before the Industrial Commission to-day and gave testimony regarding marine architecture. Mr. Farquhar, of the commission, wanted to know why it is that American money does not seek Investment in transatlantic and Pacific trade. "The first reason," Mr. Cramp replied, "is that it does not pay, and the second Is that the people have not been educated to the business. A person cannot make money unless he has been educated in the use of It." Mr. Farquhar asked if It was true, as reported, that the increased cost of building In this country over that of a foreign-built vessel was responsible for the- lack of American interest in the industry. Mr. Cramp said the first cost of a ship was scarcely worth consideration, but that the cost of operating the vessel, which was a daily expenditure, was an Important Item. Continuing, Mr. Cramp asserted that some Americans are buying cast-off British ships at bargain prices and are denouncing the subsidy bill because they will not .benefit by it. Mr. Cramp said the cost of operat ing foreign vessels is less than that of American ships, and American people acquainted with the business can operate ships if they are given the difference. "I am in favor of the subsidy bill," said Mr. Cramp. "The shipyards In either America or England cannot build ships enough to supply the demand. This being the case, and these vessels being needed, I think if we can build more of our own by the introduction of free ships we should do It. The merchant marine cannot be rehabilitated without a subsidy." Mr. Cramp said he thought the subsidy named in the ilanna bill was "about right." He said also there seemed to be some apprehension that only the big lines, notably the International Navigation Company, would secure the bulk of the subsidy. This idea, he asserted, was erroneous, because the large freight ships will secure a considerable portion of it. A reason why this country should have more ships, Mr. Cramp said. Is the steadily decreasing coal supply of Europe. Eventually, he said, all Europe will come to this country for coal. Mr. Cramp said: "Great Britain's source of wealth in her shipbuilding is in the vessels she builds for other countries. The shipbuilding interests there are assisted by the government . either directly or Indirectly. I want to compete with England." Mr. Cramp spoke of the enormous profit on armor plate. In building warships for Russia, he said, his company was compelled to pay the full rate of a ton to Carnegie for armor. This, he said, was one-third the cost of the ship. "If I could get the profit on armor plate." declared Mr. Cramp, "I would build a warship at cost." "At what price could armor plate be furnished to the government and give the producer a fair profit?" inquired Mr. Kennedy. "1 do not know," waa the responte. "X wouldn't liks to y.M
