franchise to come Into the borough, nut
they say they cannot come farther

In a few (lavs to consider the matter.
Residents of the Second ward are very
much opposed to the granting of a
right of way, unless the company ex
tends its line as far north as the Clif
ford breaker. It looks as If the Trac
tion people would have to get more
power or stay out.

New York. Dec. 17. Today's stock mar
ket was moro or less depressed all day,
though final prices nro considerably hot
ter than the low point of the day. Liqui
dation was not heavy outside n few spe
cial stocks and the sagging tendency of
prices seemed to be due rather to an ab
sence of active demand. Some ot the le
ctin prominent bulls bought, stocks on a
dnwnwnid .scale of price but without any
attempt to NtiHtuIn value. As a result of
th" rally before the clone of today's mir
ket net losses are In most Important in
stances deduced to fractions, tho notablo
exceptions one the side of gains bavins
been abcad.i Indicted. Some Inactive
stocks show losses from 1 to 2 per cent.
Total sales were niAIWO shares.
