Packers apparently did uot care whether they got much of anything or not, so that trading was rather slow on most lines, without any radfeal change in prices. re were o few cars of corn fed steers included in the ‘recelpts and the market was slow and-if anything a shade lower. Buyers were very Indifferent, o that sales: men had hai time to dispose of what they had at satisfactory prices.

During the firat two hours of business the aggregate sales reached a larger figure than In any similar period for many months, the total reaching to nearly 750,000 shares.' During the latter half of the session trading was much in- terrupted by the New Year's celebration of the Produce exchange on the neighboring floor, In which many members of the Stock exchange participated, while the epirit of was also In the The taking pf profits on the two days' rise made considerable impression_on: prices during the final hour, #0 that some consplcuous stocks lost all of their early gains The great central factor In the day's mar- ket was the safe passing of what has bean considered a danger point in money affairs The fact that New Year's day has been | reached without money embarrassment is taken to demonstrate the success of the plans made for meeting the extraordinary requirements upon the money market at this reason. For the moment the possible future requirement to be met by reason of extended loans and deferred payments of obligations {8 lost sight of and confidence is general that the normal relaxation in money rates will follow the turn of the year. Current reports of rallroad earnings also show u larger ratlo in gross earnings, rals- ing the hope of an improved showing in net returne. The yearly reviews now appearing of the closing year's extraordinary prosperity had a strong sentiment on speculation and the government's estimate of the very large cereal crop gave substantlal ground for a hopeful feeling sver the future. Of the day s special developments the mamtenance of the 7 per cent dividend on Delaware & Hudson stock was a reassuring factor, es- peclally in the case of the coalers. That group, howeyer, was affected by realizing. The rise in {he ‘price of copper had a gen- erally favorable effect besides its iniluence on Amalgamated. The railroad commi sion’s intimation that it had a plan for im- proving the handling of congested traffic on the local street raflways induced heavy speculation In Manhattan. Brooklyn Tran- sit was held back on account of the pr sentment by the Kings county grand jury condemning its car service. A feature of the day was the diligence with which all classes of stocks were bid up so long as offerings continued light. A number of re- cent flotatlons which have been practicaily dormant owing to, the tight money market o vigorously advanced. Examples were nited States Realls ana American Steel foundries and on the curb International Marine (when issued). The money market continued stiff today, but eased off in the late transactions. The trust companies continued to call loans and the forces of de- pletion of bank reserves seemed to be still ir preparation for the Stock exchange frolic | rate of discount in the open market for both rhort three months' bills was 38 per cent, Gold premiums are quoted at uenos Ayres at 120.30; at Madrid, 35.27; at Lisbon, %.

Paniec Amonk American Girls Who Married Frenchmen. Titled Frenchmen are shocked at the prospect of having the pretty handles to their names taken away. The name of Count Boni de Castellane, who was recently unseated in the chamber of deputies be- cause of his misuse of the elective fran- chise, 1s uttered with bitter adjective on every side, for his misdoing is held re- sponsible for the proposed innovation. A bill abolishing all French titles has been introduced into the chamber of dep- utles and was received with expressions of approval by a majority of the members. The house at once took up the measurn, presented by Deputy Fournier, into urgent consideration, ani referred it to a commit- tee.

To abolish them would be to strike a blow at many American women of wealth who exchanged thelr fortunes, and many of them their happiness, for titles. Castellane, who has always Seen among the most extreme and arrogant of the so- called royalists, is the most universally de- tested man In Paris today, for now his own party friends are turning against him.
