STOCK-MARKET
PRICES ADVANCE
NEW YORK, Dec 29.— 1n the
stock market prices rose^ very gen
erally and the 'movement was un
usually comprehensive.- -The rise
embraced • not*- only '-the standard
railway shares, but took in many
of the southern and southwestern
issues and various specialties as
well.
The further gain in Southern
Railway preferred was coincident
with reports that dividends on the
stock are likely to be resumed
soon. Canadian Pacinc was active
at a higher price. Union Pacific
and Southern Pacinc were appar
ently in demand at smart advances
in the face of distinctly unfavor
able exhibits.
The coal stocks were conspic
uous for their activity and under
lying strength, and Reading was
bought by traders who pro
fessed to have advance informa
tion that the company's showing
for November would be more than
gratifying. The market closed
with prices generally at or near
the best.
London was a buyer on balance,
but not enough to call for de
tailed comment. The Bank of
England's proportion of reserve
to liabilities fell to 37.90 per cent,
a decline of S% per cent from the
previous -week, but compared
favorably with the corresponding
week last year. The bank's total
reserve decreased more than $",
000,000. and its bullion holdings
decreased by $7,500,000. Clear
ances by the London banks for the
week were almost $300,000,000 less
than for the same week last year.
A striking- feature of the weekly
statement of the Bank of France
was its enormous increase of
about $34,000,000 5n bills dis
counted.
Belated demands for money
caused a flurry in call loans for
which the rate advanced to 5 per
cent. It is not improbable that
a further slight disturbance of
local monetary conditions may be
•witnessed tomorrow, but in the
Judgment of bankers the higher
rate is not likely to last long.
The bond market was irregular
with, especially large dealings in
Norfolk and Western convertible
4s at rising prices. Total sales,
par value, were $3,425,000.
United States government bonds
were unchanged on call.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.— E. F.
Hutton & Co.'s wire says: Influ-.
ential and somewhat -aggressive
buying was the feature of today's
stock market and for the first time
in many weeks. Absorption has
been in progress in the down scale
during this period, but securities
were bid for today by the right
people. Professional Wall street
attributed the rise to so called
"window dressing" at the year's
end, but we seriously doubt if this
was the basis for the movement.
' Wall street is liquidated to a share
I with the universe very pessimistic
i«*in the outlook. Bankers are now
1 the chief holders of securities in
! anticipation of better times, which
• will be reflected in stocks six
I months in advance of trade condi
» tions.

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.— E. F. Hutton & Co.'s
wire says: "There was little in the way of
price movements in the mining department of

firmer tone developed in Chino. which rose to

irregularity,' but prices in the main are strong,
v.ith a good investment demand still notice

Future Grain ami Provisions
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.— Because of a cold wave
predicted for exposed winter crop states and on
account of Manitoba export rumors, wheat devel
oped today: decided strength. The close was firm
at, the. top prices of the session with a net ad
vance of l@li>ic. Latest sales of corn dhowed
a gain of %&%cr. ns compared with last night;
?atß'? atß ' S^ rlse of y*@y> c an<l provisions varying
from -2@sc decline to an Increased cost of 7%@
10c. \u25a0 . \u25a0 . . . ... ' \u25a0": \u25a0" - \u25a0\u25a0 . . \u25a0 \u25a0-. . .
There was big ' buy! ng of both wheat and
corn by "\u25a0. the leading bulls.-- Primary receipts
were small, notably In the northwest, and there
was reason for belief that. sales of cash wheat
here, were larger than reported. Talk of reduced
estimates on the Argentine crop had consid
erable effect, and so also . did mention of better
demand In European centers.
Statements, that 30 boatloads of Manitoba
wheat ' had been worked for export had a tonic
effect. .. Purchases for • prominent - bouses took on
large proportions, and In the last half of the
day made the market almost buoyant. The
May option ranged from 96% cto 97>ic, closing
lUc.net higher at 97J4c.
. Foreigners were said to be buying corn here
today .:\u25a0 In consequence of alleged , losses to the
Argentine . crop. Purchases for local account
reached a huge total,' two houses alone taking
more ; than 2,000,000 bushels, r May fluctuated
between 47% c and 4S%c and closed %c np at
48% c. Cash : corn did :\u25a0 not follow the upturn In
futures. No. 2 yellow finished at 46<@46%c.
Oats made a fair response to the . bulge in
other grains. May -sold from 33% cto 34% c and
In the cud was %c net higher at 34%@34^4c. - .
Provision? 'were ' active ; but irregular. Pork
closed ' the same as last night to : I%c higher:
lartl up"2%@loc and ribs 2%@5c decline to 5c
advance.

Butter, Cheese and Ess** .
Eggs continued to " arrive " freely from all dis
tricts yesterday, and although there was a good
demand for the upper, grades of fresh stock the
market was lower on extras. The decline was
l%c, the new 'price being 37% c a dosen. Some
'liberal selling on the, exchange by. receivers who
feared that stocks would not clean tip before the
holidays was responsible for th» decline. There
was nothing: new in butter or cheese. The f ocmer
was officially declared firm on the exchange, bat
the - firmness - did not extend to the street. In
fact, a majority of the trade reported the mar
ket easy on fresh, extras.
Sales on the exchange were as follows:
- Butter— SO case* 'of . fresh . extras ;at 85c a
pound on the Informal call: *
Eggs— s cases of . fresh extras at 87c, SO at
38c and 13 at 37% c a dozen.
Receipts were, 14,000 pounds of butter. 66,000
pounds of cheesa and 1,350 cases of eggs.
