Senaat lenal Sltamp r Sasrar "W"a the Feattare. 1 NEW TPRIC Dec 4 A favorit para- dpx in wan street is znat a surprise is always expected "in Sugar. Jn the patsuit 'of their professional avocation, specula- tors are always trying to discount what FINANCIAL NEWS. they expect, and the consequence Is that j In Sugar they are Invariably surprised and disappointed. Today was1 no excep tion.. Action on the quarterly dividend has been looked for at any time for sev eral days past, and the "news"- as to what the dividend would be has varied all the way from an Increase In the reg ular rate from 1 to 2 per cent and up to the regular l?i and an 'extra disburse ment of 2 per cent. The speculation has gone on right merrily on that basis. The price was run up to 125& this morning when the Intimation was disseminated that no action would be taken on the tllv Idend today. Consequently, the announce ment, a little later, that the directors had met at the private residence of. the presi dent of the company -and dechired a divi dend of only 1 per cent came like a bombshell upon the speculative contin gent!. In- their rush to save losses, they forced the price down by .rapid stages, .meeting no support except from profes sional snorts on tne way aown. ine siotur touched 127 In the last hour, which was 8 full points below the highest, and closed with a net loss of 6. The violent slump in this stock "had a depressing influence on the whole market, but the movement elsewhere at no tlmo approached demoralization.- In fact, there were points of strength persisting here and there to the railroad list, but they yielded their gains' -In the late reaction." The pressure to sell the railroads grew steadily during the latter part of the day, and z. large number of them show a -net loss of about a pomL Chicago. Burling ton & Quincy declined 1. The general weakness while partly due to sympathy with the violent decline In Sugar, was undoubtedly based for the most part on anxiety as to the ability of the money market to -carry speculative acpounts safely over the New Tear. There was n& evidence that liquidation was forced to-J day. but a spirit of caution prevailed ana Induced measures to avoid anything like forced liquidation, In view of the large advances In prices which the market bas enjoyed. Another noticeable feature, of tho situation s the steadiness pi sterling exchange, in spite of the firmness of the local money market and the notably easlpr ratps In London and Berlin. The foreign selling of our securities, which' was. continued today to the extent ofzo, 000 shares. Is supposed to account for this. The orinion Is expressed by some for eign authorities that this process has been carried" so far as io leave New Tork' without further power to draw gold-from European sources. In this connection, today's report of a further shipment from Australia to San .Francisco of .51.500,000 In gold, has some significance. Incoming steamers are bringing largij shipments of American securities recently &ojd hlf for eign holders, and the Increase In the .sup ply In stock available for lending, serves to facilitate bear .operations in the. mar ket. The bond markets shared In the reac tionary tendency of the stock market.but was. varied by new points of strength. Total sales. 53.505,000. "United States new 4s advanced H per cent. BONDS, TT.

OBJECTS TO DICTATION. Jfeiv YorJc Grocers "Will FlxT&elr Oivb Price ob Sbsbt. NEW YORK, Jec 4. At a well-atten.d5 ed meeting of the Wholesale. Grpcers' As sociation, of New York and vclnlty an association which -comprises the leading grqeery jobbers in this section of the country It was decided to throw off all restraints in regard to the purchase and sale pt refined sugars. President G. Waldo Srqjth, of the as soclatlon, said, after the meeting, that no definite action had been taken in the way of securing a readjustment at, the sugar business., and an adjournment had been taken without date. The entire matter had been left In the hands of the execu tive committee to recommend proper ac- tio.n. n the meantime the members of the association would purchase from the refineries offering sugar at the lowest prices, and would sell at such prices as they considered, for the best Interests of, their business. The action of the local wholesale groc ers Is Important for the reason that New York has- been one of the sections which has most steadfastly maintained the price of sugar. ANOTHER CORN CORNER. Phillips Said to Be Preparing for a. December Deal. CHICAGO, Dec 4. The Evening Post today says: . Indication on the Board of Trade are that there Is another corner hatching In corn, this time In the December option. Conditions are practically the same now as they were.. In November. In regard to the situation Phillips, who engineered the November corn squeeze, said today: "It looks as if the stocks of old corn would this month be the smallest In his tory. Contract stocks of corn are today 1.300,000 bushels. Of this- I Own 900,000 bushels, 5OQ.000 busjiels jof which Is al ready contracted jtor. The remainder of local contract stocks, 400,000 bushels, Is held by shippers, and there Is a' good de mand for It." , Dacember corn was nervous today. It opened at 26 cents, advanced to 27c, de clined to 36c, "and then rallied "again to 364c Eastern Livestock. CHICAGO, Dec 4. Cattle Receipts, 5000. Generally steady. Including butch ers' stock.

In China it la freely stated that the principal cause of the widespread dislike to missionaries, especially the Roman Catholic is their interference in lawsuits and practical coercion of the Yamuns. on. behalf of their converts, says a writer in the Nineteenth Century. But such state ments must be received with reserve In a country where such assertions are not easily verified, and missionary jealousies are not unknown. Among the 2G0O foreign missionaries spread over the length and breadth of China are doubtless many In stances of noble and devoted self-sacrifice, but the missionary body Is not with out Its leaven of tactless aggressiveness. This must be remembered when judging of the attitude of the Chinese. It is questionable whether a foreign mission ary, or a native, engaged in proselyt ing in the South or West of Ireland would be as safe without constant armed protection as the great majority of mis sionaries have- been In China under or dinary circumstances. But among the exciting causes of an. Intensified anti foreign sentiment 'throughout China one of the most potent has been the earlier writings of Kang Yu Wei, the reformer. His earlier writings, In 'which he uses every argument to compel his country-' men to adopt Western, methods to the end that China shall free herself from the trammels of the foreigner and become the most powerful nation in thtf 'world, are brilliant literary productions. Every square mile of territory torn from ancient China by aggression or obtained by dip lomatic pressure Is recapitulated, and the despoilment denounced with passionate force, while the possibilities of the future recovery of lost possession by an awak ened and Instructed nation of 400,000,000 are reiterated In glowing and vigorous periods. The writings of Kang Yu Wei are disfigured by the open advocacy of assassination of all those whom he holds responsible for the suppression of the reform movement, but they have exer cised a serious Influence upon the literati, among whom his disciples are numbered by thousands, and prepared the ground for a possible anti-foreign struggle. His later writings advocate progress and reform by the aid of foreigners, and the same freedom for foreigners In China as they 'enjoy In Western' countries. Hfs violent denunciations of the Dowager Em press, Prince Tuan, Jung Lu and others, caused his book to be suppressed and publicly burned, but the book and early memorials have been extensively read and have profoundly affected the opin ions of educated China. t remains to be seen what the modifying effect may be of his later and more matured convictions. The Suburbanite. Scribner's Magazine. Colonel Wright quotes the conclusion of Sydney J. Low, an authority on the English census who makes this predic tion: "If the process goes on unchecked, the Englishman of the future will be of the city but not In It. He will be & sub urb dweller. The majority of the people of these Islands will live In the suburbs." The impossibility of delimiting or defining the suburb, as Its extent becomes more and more indefinite, is due no less to the Influence of trolley competition than to lt direct facilities. To this competition must be largely attributed the fact, discovered; by Professor Commons In his recent in vestigation: of railway rates in Massachu setts, that while fares for long distances have fallen but little below what they were- 50 years - ago, commutation fares for short distance have fallen nearly 50 per cent In 10 years that Is, during the period of trolley extension. It Is by no means a case merely of cheaper suburb an living. For the opportunity of a coun try home for those whose work calls them dally to the city Keeps pace with a new devotion, to all that now attracts to the country, the love of sport and any Interest or diversion that calls one out Into the open. Suburban living has thus (Came to mean something far different from what It used to be thought when a suburb was merely nearness to a great city. And with every increased remove the suburban city worker is brought closer to genuine country, while the at traction of the city life to the country worker Is distinctly lessened. So far, then, as the census' shows a relatively arrested- rate of Increase In city popu lation. t justifies a new identification of suburb with country, and Is a sign of a. healthy reaction which may some day reach even the now-abandoned farm. The Chinese Calendar. Notea and Queries. "We have lately had edicts dated by the Chinese system, of which (1) records the lutlj day of this moon, 11 July, 19Q0; (2) the 23d day of the sixth moon In the 26th year of the government, style of Kwang Hsu, 19 July, 1300. So 15 plus 8 equals 23 and 11 plus S equals 19. In perfect harmony. The Chinese work by a cycle of 60 years, and JSGO Is. the 37th year of the 77th cycle, dating from about 2720 B. C; and the present Emperor has reigned for 26 year3 In fact, Tsal TIen ascended in 1875; so the heathen Chinee Is good, at figures. Their year consists, of 12 on 13 lunar months, having seven intercalations in 19 years, like the Jews. The present year would, commence about Jfebruary 1, so we are now in their eighth moon; but their solar year, like the- Hindus. Is cut up into fortnights, or half months. Their New Tear's day faljs on the new moon after the sun enters Aquarius, and before It reaches Pisces. How Is this affected by procession? All years have a name, so Kwang Hsu, or Keng Tae Tse sounds differ means? the "Iron mouse." mm CHICHESTER'S ENGLISH Pennyroyal pills ,-Grv .
