MARKET IRREGULAR ALL DAY Ameriean Sugar is Lower and Read- a Higher— Unchanged— Bonds Are Higher, NBEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Hesitation and eon- straint ‘made themselves felt in the 8100k speculation again to following tne volatile movement of Saturday. That the appearance of things was decided confused was taken for granted, and th bundant resources that were displayed in the work of forming this appearaice made the smaller following of habitual traders very wary In extending their op- erations. ;3 The dullness into which the market fell from time to time was due partly to large reduction of the outstanding short interest by the covering operaticns responsible for the buoyant rise in prices Saturday. The actual assembiing of congress, although the day's session was perfunctory, had [ts usual restraining effect on the speculative spirlt. It was understood at the oulse: that the president’s message would not be presented, and the stock market be- ileved Atself to be accurately informed on the contents of that document. The sooth- ing effect of that supposed knowledge was somewhat impaired by an intimation that it was to be follgwed at an early date by other special messages, devoted more exclusively to the topies in which the stock market takes a particular interest Aucther sudden drop in American Sugar showing lack of support for that stick prompt a selling movement of wider scoj At the same time there was aggressi demand for other particular stocks which ha a neutralizing effect and kept the et irregular and unsettled. There was occasional demand for Reading, with in- sistent assertions that a dividend increase was near at hand, Sales of Rock Island preferred at 90 made a new record for that stock, due to reiterated reports that It would soon go on a b per cent dividend basis. The question of wage readjustments amongst raliroad employes was discussed, but without greatly disturbing effect. 1t is assumed that railroad managers stand ready to make concessions to demands for increased wages, such as ve the ho) compromise, w{thout grealy intere with traffic. The high cost of living glven as Indication of a fikellhood that higher wages may be conceded, although it is pointed out that reductions were not made in the late period of depression. In the present instance, there {s an obvious hope that higher wages and higher freight rates may come hand in hand Money rates were not changed, but money brokers reported some timeloans is cent to 6 per cent.

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE FUNDS Half Million Warrants Are atanding. PIERRE, 8. D. Dec. 6.—(Special.)—The statement of the financial condition of the state on December 1 shows general fund warrants outstanding to the amount of $417,49, revenue warrants of. $50,00, bor- rowed from twine plant fund $13,600, making a total outstanding indebtedness of §1,062,- 49, outside of the warrants Issued on the capitol buflding fund, ‘these amounting to $114,221, or a grand total of $LIELGI. This amount will be lowered approximately $22,- 00 by a call for warrants in January. using the collections from the Decémber call for taxes for that purpose, After that there will not likely be a call of any amount before July, as ‘the recelpfs from the March call will be needed to take up the $500,000 of revenue warrants due April 1. This will allow an accumulation of in- debtednesg of about $1,125,000 up to July, with the demands upon the tregsury run- ning as they are at present. The interest on at least $500,000 can be kept at a low rate through a new issue of révenue war- rants which will no dpubt be placed upon tho market for the purpose of taklng up outstanding warrants. The receipts for the next year on a levy of 4 mills should meet all running expenses, and with fees reduce the debt slightly, but'the chances are that it will be close to the §1.000,00 mark when the next legislature meets. The report of condition of the ntgte treas- ury for December 1 shows & total on hand of $47.565 ip all funds. Of this but | 85,074 was in the general fund, $116,430 ‘was in the common school income fund,.and will be drawn out of the. trea$ury’ this month for the December, distribution of that fund. The twine plant fund was $108,- 459 and the game fund showed $9,63 op that date. The eapitol building fund showed $10,719 to offset the Wi 2;W‘W'an the fund to the amount of $14%1, South Dakota unx'.‘ b6 ol SIOUX FALLS, 8.
