STOCK TRADING IS CONGESTED BUSINESS DWINDLES TO AN AG GREGATE OF A QUARTER OF A MILLION SHARES AMALGAMATED COPPER A CONSPICUOUS FEATURE Prominent Stocks Mostly Firm and Tone Up the General List —Great Northern Preferred Jumps Five Points and St. Paul Makes a Gain. NEW.'.TORKs'- Dec. _ B.—Business on the stock : exchange \ today, dwindled \to: an ag gregate of barely more than 250,000. shares sold. :- Even with '.ibis small total, trans actions were considerably ! congested' In a few _ prominent - stocks. These were firm: as a rule and ; their ■ tone ; had a sympa thetic effect ■ upon the T general list. Amal- - gamated Copper, was a | conspicuous : feat-' ure ! and • rose - in i common with % the \ copper stocks at other ■ Important financial cen t-ore A rumor of an approaching settlement between the great contending 1 interests in the copper trade accompanied the ad vance. Tljese rumors were denied in statements to which a semblance of offi cial authority was given. There Vas a rather violent advance also in the Efjlce of raw copper in London. Other centers of strength were the local tractions. In which Manhattan was the leader. St. Paul also was advanced. The Hocking Valley stocks rose 2% for the common and 2% for the preferred on renewed ru mors of a project for change of control. Great Northern Up. A Jump of 5 points in Great Northern preferred accompanied an active demand man for Northern Securities on the curb. At the same time there was some heavy selling of Oregon Short Line participating 4 per cent bonds, the collateral for which consists of Northern Securities stock. The movement in the stock seemed designed to facilitate realizing in the bonds. Today's market was practically made up of such movements in a few special stocks. Some effect was produced by the cold wave, owing to the stimulating effect likely to be produced upon sea sonable business. A large day's business was reported in exports of both wheat and corn, which served to emphasize the favorable effect of last week's outward movement. Mexican Securities were still under pressure on account of the depres sion in the silver market The increas ing supply of grain bills in the exchange market was favorably reegarded, and there were large offerings also of loan bills by bankers which the advancing rates for money here attract. Money Situation Unchanged. There was no appreciable change in the money situation and the large require ments in prospect keep the speculative activity at a low ebb. It is now gener ally considered that this will continue to be the case until the end of the year at least. An. additional transfer today through the sub treasury of $400,000 to San Francisco was the occasion for much comment. The surmise is made that the extraordinary demand from that point may be caused by an active land specula tion said to be in progress on the Pa cific coast. There are some misgivings, indeed, that this kind of speculation has been wid-espread through the West and is responsible in some part for the un usual retention of funds in the interior. Today's stock market closed firm. Bonds were dull and irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,615,000. United States old 4s registered advanced % per cent on the last call.

FIRMNESS IN WHEAT STRONG ALL THROUGH THE SES SION AND STATISTICS MOSTLY BULLISH Lack of Material Trading Prevents a Great Advance—Strong Northwestern Markets Bolsters Up the Market —Con- siderable Strength In Corn, but the Business Is Light. CHICAGO, Dec. B.—Wheat was strong throughout the entire session today, not withstanding a rather quiet and at times a dull market, the close being strong, with May up %-@%c. May corn closed %@&c higher, with oats, %c better. Jan uary provisions closed from 2%c to 10c higher. Statistics in general were bullish and wheat ruled extremely firm ail day. The lack of any material trading was the means of preventing any great advance resulting from the higher cables, de creased receipts, bullish Argentine ad vices and a small increase in the visible supply when a large one had been an ticipated. The markets in the Northwest were strong, adding to the strength of the situation, while a decrease of from 10,000,000 bu to 15,000,000 bu in the offi cial estimate of the crop of Manitoba from the private estimate previously giv en also aided in boosting the market. The close was strong and near the top on May, the final figures being %@%c higher at 76%@76c, after opening un changed to %c higher at 75^i@75?c, and advancing steadily to 76c. The world's shipments for the week were 8,844,000 bu, compared with 8,497, --000 bu a year ago. The visible supply for the week showed an increase of only 858,000 bu and clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 412,000 bu. Primary receipts were 1,459,500 bu, against 1,515, --700 bu a year ago. Minneapolis and Du luth reported receipts of 1,176 cars, which with total receipts of 88 cars, three of contract, made total receipts for the three points of 1,264 cars, against 1,697 cars last week and 988" a year ago. - Corn , Not . Lacking -in Strength.';. - There • was V considerable strength In 'corn, due to higher cables • and clear, cold weather throughout the West, r Prominent commission houses : bought ' freely of May, but the offerings were rather limited, the fears of manipulation causing the local traders to hold back.

The close j was ' strong •'■ and ".■ at '• the ■•: top, May closing %@%c higher at 43% c, after sell : ing between 43% @ 43"% c and' 48 %c.
