A itronc, actlre market for lecurltles to-day wai BOnerally recardod as refloctlsg a popular belief that the Prcaldent's messaco removes a number of elements of doubt from both the bualnega and speculative situations. Tbo rank and Die of Investors nnd of speculators are now beginning; to realize what substantial Inter ests, owing to tneir superior facilities for ob taining information, beenmo convinced of two or three weeks ngo, namely, tbat the Presi dent's message would be anything but aggres sive, and that the representatives In Congress of the party In power will In all probability be In fluenced largely by tho conservative views of the Administration. Thero Is, therefore, a disposi tion to make both business and speculative ven tures on a larger scale than horetoforo. Wall stroet at least feels tbat It is not likely to be .hocked by a disturbance of Inter national relations or by radical flnonclal legislation at Washington. While a moderate amount of manipulation was discernible on the floor of the Stock Kxchango tOKlay.lt Is to be notod that the greater part of It was with the view of establishing higher prices. Tho real support of the market, however, was an in creased volume of legitimate business, par ticularly In the bond department. Now that apprehension regarding the Cuban situation and radical changes In the currency have been removed atuor circumstances af fecting values aro boglnnlng to have their legitimate effect upon price.. The most note worthy trntllc returns made public to-day were those of Illinois Central for Octobor and of the Groat Northern s stein for No vember as compared with tho corresponding period of last year. Tho most Important earn ings reported for November aro tboso of the Illinois Central, Northern Pacific, and Fort Worth and Itio Grande. Othor Items of Interest aro the increase in the value of tho exports of merchandise, even after making allowance for the suspension of business ono day last week, Tho heaviest trading was In Sugar Itcflnlng. It supplied mora than a fifth of an active day's business, and, at n fractional reaction, closed 28 per cent, higher than yesterday, The ad vanco was accompanied hy rumors that an extra dividend will bo doclarod upon tho stock to morrow, when the usual dividends are declared. Another report was that tbo American Com pany had come to an understanding of some sort with tbtupromotcrs of the more Im portant suBar'roflnerj now building. Bo far M could be learned then U no basis for either of tbes report. Exceptional trength was shown by Missouri 1 clflo. Northern PocWo preferred, Missouri. Kansas ond Texas preferred, Atchison pre-,, ferred, Southern IUllwar preferred, Jersey Cen tral and Western Union. Of tba lesi active (hares the greatest net advances were scored by Colorado Fuel, Consolidated loe, St. Joe and Grand Island first and second preferred and St. Ixmls and San Francisco first and second pre ferred. The closing was very Arm at only frac tional recessions from the best prices. Final sales compare wlttt those of yesterday as follows: 7 fl Dn ?

Charles Hartshorne, Vice-President of tba Lehigh Valley Railroad Company (copies of which may ba ob tained at our ortlcc), which sets forth that the Issue of bonds, of which these t0,000,000 aro part, Is se cured not only by a raortftairo on all ths railroad and equipment owned by tbe Lehigh Valley Rail road Company, subject only to Its exlstlns bond., but also by a Orst lien on stocks, bonds, and real estate, all of which have cost the Company " (22,000,000, and on which encumbrances of leu "than (1,000,000 exist; and, furthermore, that the " mortgage security will be Increased by the prop erty to be acquired by the (7,000,000 bonds re " served for construction and additions after Janu "ary 1, 1900." Mr. Hartshorne doe. "not hesitate " to say that the net Income earned by the stocks, "bonds, and real estate already subject to the mort "gago Is, under the most unfavorable clrcum "stances, far In excess of tho Interest on'.the mail " mum of (15,000,000 bonds authorised by the mort "gage, and this Income will be further Increased " by the net eamlnfs of the new property for which ,' (7,000 000 out of (15,000,000 bonds can only be " used."
