BUYING DEMAND MARKS TODAY’S STOCK EXCHANGE Activity Boosts up Stocks Which Were Weak in Forenoon Opening. BOOM MAY BE ONLY “COVERING” UP PROCESS Day's Movement Lacks Light on Real Nature of Situation cowrvtsNt, salt, kr v«rk btmimi NEW YORK, Dec.' 10 —Today a stock market showed evidence of a buying demand, greater than had been generally looked for at thlg time. It started off with a very confused move ment of prices, which, in th« course of an hour or so, developed into an other genera] break. Declines of a point or more from yesterday were at that time general. At mid-day, ac tivity slackened and the market grew actually dull; then suddenly turned active ,again, under aggressive buying, which continued pretty steadily up to the close, and carried up many stocks two points or there abouts above the ldw forenoon prices. How far this buying represented merely “covering” by professional operators for th« de cline, and how fir it was actual new buying, attracted by the lower prices, might be open to debate. Profession al Influences -undoubtedly predomin ated; but there was other buying also, notably from London. It oan hardly be said that the day’s movement threw much light on the actual nature of the situation, except insofar as it may have shown that conductors of tne present "bear move ment" are inclined to call down their profits as they go, and not wait too long for them. The market was not greatly influenced by anything In the day’s newt. RACE RESULTS AT JUAREZ First Race—King Stalwart, 2 to 1,3 to 5. won; Tom G., 3 to 1, second; Jsnus, third. Time. 1:10 3-6.

In the past the spectators have been left unmolested until Thursday morning, and today many ottered to resist. After several near fights, the management called off the specials, got into touch with Com missioner Waldo, and asked him to send men to help out. There was brisk riding all through the night. Time after time sprints were started, but none of the con testants was able to get very far ahead. The old game of colliding with another rider, and bringing a boat a spill, in order to check a sprint, is being worked to death by several of the veterans, to prevent being lapped, and, as long as the men continue tied, the Interest ls kept up, with conse quent crowds, and the management doesn't \uock. At 7 o’clock all the riders were tied at 662 miles, four laps. The former record was 648 miles, nine laps. At 9 o’clock, the riders were bunch ed, with a total mileage of 695 miles, three laps.

Fielder Jones, former manager of the Cblcagq White Sox, and Robert Mcßoy, formerly secretary of the league, and now treasurer of the world's champion Boston Red Sox, were here early, doing liberal hand shaking among the local baseball men. Mcßoy said that the attempt made by Mayor Fitzgerald, of Boston, to have him separated from the Red Sox, was “only another of the mayor’s schemes for getting publicity for him self.” “I do not intend to resign from the Boston club, and I do not expect to be asked to quit,” he said. President Ban B. Johnson, of the league, said that he knew nothing of the report that Fielder Jones wax likely to become manager of the New York Highlanders. If any such nego tiations are opened, he said, White So- President Cotnlskey’s consent would have to be obtained by Presi dent Farrell, of New York.

Members of the board wondered why they had gone to such lengths in their efforts to discover the facts, when it was apparent that they could take no action leading to adjustment. Beyond the maintenance of Bresna han’s standing as a player, the direc tors realized they could do othlhg to ward ultimate settlement. ._ Therefore, they were prepared to dispose of the matter today with a decision which would further the In terests of Bresnahan as far as pos sible, without causing undue prejudice against the owners of the club.
