TnnnsnAT, Dec. 23.
The itock market was lifeless the icroatorpart
ot tho day, a condition that, as usual, encour
aged selling by professional operators, which
was effective In somo stocks to tho extent ot
halt a point. Speculation was apparently hold
in check by foirs that preparations for pnyinc
88,600,000 into the Treasury noxt Monday on
account ot the purchaso ot the Union Pa
cltlo Railway by the Iteorganiiatlon Com
mutes might cnuso a sufficient degreo
of activity in tho money markot to dislodge
weakly margined stocks. When it beenmo ap
parent, in the early afternoon, that abnormal
rates for monoy wera imnrobable tho short in
terest betrayed alnrm, and as the supply of
stocks in sight was Insignificant, modorato pur
chases to closo short contracts Imparted a
vory Arm tono to the market. In tho last
hour of business commission houses came
Into the market as buyers. Their clients tvero
evidently Influenced hy tho condition ot tho
money market, the furth'r dcclino in the for
eign exchange and poisihly by the usual an
nouncement by the representatives of tho rail
roads in tho Joint Traffic Association that more
effecttvo measures than wera over heforo
adopted bad been taken to secure a mainte
nance of rates.
Without doubt' the, most Important circum
stance affecting speculation was tho compara
tive ease of the monoy market The possibility
of a sharp flurry in money this week has gov
erned both Investment and speculative opera
tions. That possibility Is no longer a menace,
for the Government will bogin to-morrow to pay
out nearly $30,000,000 to t e holders of its ma
turlntr currency bonds. According to Washing
ton a'dvlces about 10.000,000 of those bonds
have already been presented for payment. That
amount will therefore be returned to circula
tion, chiefly In this city, enrly next week. On
the other hand, the Union Paclrlo Reorccanlza
tloi Committee will havo to pay to the Govern
ment on Monday over eight and a naif million
dollars on account of tho Union Pacific Rail
way purchase. Nearly half of that amount
will, however, bo deposited In the Clear
ing House banks of this city to the
credit of tho Government, and will be
at once available for the purposes of
business. The mannor In which the Union
Pacific matter has been financed redounds to
the credit both of the Treasury Department,
the Reorganization Committee and Its allies
among the officers of the Clearing Rouso banks.
In addition to the unusual disbursements that
the Government will begin to make to-morrow,
corporation, municipal, and other payments on
account ot interest and dividends will ba
made on Jan. 3, or soon thereafter, aggre
gating many millions of dollars. Preparations
for theso payments may keep the call money
market upon a 3 to 4 V cent, bills for ton days
to come, but after that the amount of money
seeking Investment or tomoorary employment
Is certain to have an effect. Moreover, tho
weakness In oxchnngo precludes a stringent
money markot hero, although European money
markets are very Arm at comparatively high
rates, and European bankers are doing every
thing in tbolr power to provent shipments ot
specie to this country.
Owing to the sharp rally In prices in the last
hour the dealings in stocks were moro extenslvo
than yesterday or tho day before, Tbo transac
tions showed a diversity of Interest. Manhat
tan Railway led the list in respect to activity at
a net advance of 2 points. Metropolitan Rail
way, on about tho usual volume of transactions,
closed 2's V cent, higher than yesterday, whllo
Third Avcnuo Railroad vraa favorably affected
by local transportation developments to the ex
tent ot 0 points. Sugar Refining was exception
ally strong, and tho same remark applies to Peo
ple's Oat, Hrooklyn Rapid Transit, and Jersey
Central. The closing was strong at about the
best prices.
Kinal sales compare with those ot yesterday
as follows:

SITUATION.
Hoston, Docotuncr33, 1B07.
With reference to the nrtlclo of Sir. Thomas
W. Lawann, published to-day In Now York and
Boston papers, I linve to siy that nothing has
boon done In connection with tho organization of
The Um England
Gas & Coke Go.
In tho slightest degree to Impair the security
ot the
Boston United Gas Bonds
of the First anil Second Series
and also In no war to Impair whatever rights
tho junior securities may havo had In the equi
ties after the bonds wero paid.
Tho mattor of the formation of the
New England Gas 8 Coke Co.,
Its declaration ot trust and Its mortgage are
mattors of public record. The Board of Kloctrlo
Light and Oas Commissioners havo been In
vited repeatedly by mo to make an Inspection ot
our records and to acquaint themiel vol .with all
our purposes and plans. I personally gavo them,
many days ago, a copy of our contract with the
caa companies, and later handed them the
declaration of trust.
I havo assured them that they are at liberty
to mako tho fullest Investigation of our records,
and although I hare, had no communication
with tbem since the publication of Mr. Law
son's article, I havo no hesitation in referring to
tho Board ot Electric Light and One Commis
sioners as to tho truth of this statement.
Partioswbo subscribed for tho securities ot
the Now England Gns & Coko Co. did so with a
full knowlodgo ot tbo properties covered by tbo
purchase, as specifically get forth In tbe under
writing agreement.
Let me say, further, that I hare no'lntontlon
of disputing with Mr. Law son his views on the
general problem, which my atsoclatos and my
solf nro endeavoring to solve, to wit: To furnish
pcoplo ot Boston and vicinity gas at low rates,
inada from coal, both for heating and lighting
purposes. lie is entitled to his own views on
that matter. I will simply say to all who are in
terested that tho people who have embarked
with me In this enterprise Include many of tbe
ablest and strongost men In the country. Every
step taken by us has been the result ot careful
Investigation and experiment. Wo are going
on successfully along tho Unas laid down. The
engineering and mechanical steps are develop
ing In due order. The money necessary is at our
command. We bavo every confidence of com
plete success. Wo believe that when our plans
are completed and our works In operation every
gns user In Boston and vicinity, every holder of
present gas securities, nnd ovory ono who hns a
part in our undertaking will bo pleased with the
result.
In the meantime we leave It to others to criti
cise whatever tho motive, as tucy seo Ht, only
asking some decent regard for tho facta In the
mattor, not for thoso most largely concernod.
who are ablo to tako care of themselves, but for
