FALLS NINE STORIES; LIVES.
JErs. Gertrude Stoddard Has Remarkable
Experience in New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS. December 23.?A
woman who registered as Mrs. Gertrude
Stoddard of Mobile jumped or
fell from a window on the ninth
floor of a local hotel late last night.
^Che police said their investigations
Efaowed Mrs. Stoddard was a widow,
aged forty-seven, and had a child in
Mobile 1 with pneumonia. j
.Later a man, who said he was Charles
IJ. Jones of Mobile, told the police he
and Mrs. Stoddard left Mobile together
and were to have been married here j
last night. Inability to obtain wit- i
nesses and other delays, he said, prevented
the marriage taking place as
plan ed.
Jones, according to the police, said
the woman had been despondent over j
the illness of her daughter in Mobile.
She regained consciousness early today,
but was still in a critical condition,
according to the hospital attendants.
First reports were that the
vroman was dead when picked up, but
Bhe was revived at the hospital.

W YORK, LONDON
WALL STREET MARKET
SLUGGISH, IRREGULAR
NEW YORK. December 23.?Immediate
opening: prices generally showed
fractional gains, but it was not long
before the market displayed expected
weakness and fractional to point to two
point declines.
Traders rather looked for recessions,
concluding, with more or less market
judgment, that many longs would not
care to go over the two holidays carrying
stocks, with the present uncertainty
and uneasiness in the business
world, and especially in diplomatic circles.
Wall street will be much slower than
' f ? /-*??? t'nA siwful iolt
ll.'UUi ICtuvci lilt, ? ? ? - - it
has received this week. An army of
traders were badly damaged flnancialI
ly. many ruined and forced to retire
I defeated, and their accounts closed out.
Margin Watching Is Racking.
The manner in which room managers
| watch the margin accounts these days
j is also racking to the nerves of traders
! and leads to further elimination of the
j margin trader, while the cash-in-hand
j investor is not numerous enough to
buy all the stocks offered. The reaction
has been inconsiderable when compared
with the smashing declines.
Some bears covered their shorts early
in the session and will not be back
until after Christmas, hut the great
rank and file of this fraternity was not
especially disturbed about conditions
and did not. although the short interest
outstanding is inconsequential as
compared with the record Thursday i
morning?profits have been too tempt- j
ing. |
Stronger in Last Hour.
There was a decided improvement in
the last hour of fhe session and espe
cially in the last half hour.
The volume of early trading was
light arid the fluctuations more or less
frequent. Some of the closest observers
of market conditions found cause
for satisfaction in the fact that there
seemed to be no pressure on the list;
that the earlier declines were not followed
by increased realizing, and accredited
this to a feeling of security on
the part of the financial interests, reading
between the lines that this meant
that the liquidation has cleared the atmosphere
for the time being and that,
for the present at least, the price for
extended speculation has been paid and
the account, as far as the public weal
is concerned, settled.
Spotty in Final Trading.
While there were many recoveries in
th& final trading, the market was spotty,
and there were many stocks that
still showed losses of a point to fractionally
more than this; also there
were securities in the same line that !
made full recoveries and some frac- (
tional advances.
American Locomotive actually gained
*8, and Baldwin Locomotive lost 2%
points; Crucible Steel and Industrial
Alcohol nearly regained all loss; Mercantile
Marine preferred was off 1*6;
the motors, weak early, fully recov
ered fpr a slight rise; Bethlehem Steel
lost 12 points net; Lackawana gained
1 %; United States Steel common
opened at 107%, sold to 107%, off to
105%, back to 106% to 105%, and back
to 106%, a net loss of % of a point.
Sensational Advance of the Day.
Beet sugar was 1% points off; Central
Leather lost 1%; Ohio Cities lost;
1% and closed 1% higher.
Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies furnished
the sensational advance of the
day when it rose from 108%to 117.
Corn Products. Distillers, Car Foundry,
Foundry Products, General Electric
and Texas Oil were all strong out
slow spots.
The. rails moved sluggishly for very
slight changes net. No one seemed
to care to make investments over the
holidays in the group and there was
no speculative trading.

SPECULATIVE POSITION IS
EXCEEDINGLY VULNERABLE
Peace Uncertainty and Weakened
Technical Conditions Cause
Week's Stock Shrinkage.
NEW YORK, December 23.?The uncertain
course of peace negotiations
and weakened technical conditions in
the stock market itself offer sufficient
explanation for this week's extraordinary
shrinkage of values, which was
partially rectified by yesterday's moderate
rallies. There will always remain
a difference of opinion as to the
extent to which the German overtures
figured aH a market factor, but a canvass
of the situation indicates that the
speculative position was exceedingly
vulnerable and only required some putstanding
developments to bring about
a general reaction.
Wall street and industrial interests
are continuing to readjust their positions
on a peace basis, arid the belief
prevails in conservative quarters that
the readjustment will he of no less
benefit than causes which gave rise to
so much prosperity in the past two
years.
The stock market will doubtless be
governed largely during the next few
weeks by the foreign /situation.
Speculation Bound to Diminish.
Speculation is bound to be in diminished
volume, if for no other reason
than that the recent hull party will require
some time to repair its shattered
fortunes.
In the wider field of finance a further
Innow or gold, enormous oanK ciear'
irigs, partly incidental to holiday trade,
and the general monetary situation offer
abundant proof of the country's
commanding position.
It is almost a foregone conclusion
that the hanking interests of the country
will be asked before long to take
part in additional foreign loans, regardless
of the outcome of prevailing
peace discussions.
In fact, it is believed that cessation
of the Kuropean conflict will he
the signal for a decided expansion
of these undertakings into countries
which thus far have found this market
unavailable.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WEEK
RARELY, IF EVER, EQUALED
Skyrocketing of Wheat Prices at
Chicago Is Suddenly Followed
by Whirlwind Selling.
CHICAGO. December 23.?Warlike utterances
from spokesmen of the entente
j allies have lifted the price of wheat '
] with vigor in the last week, and so, too,
| have big export sales. Net advances
ranged from 5% to ltl% cents a bushel.
Corn gained 4% to 4% cents and oats
2 34 to 3 cents. Provisions as a rule
suffered declines varying from 7 to 30
cents.
It was a week that for continued vio|
lent fluctuations in the wheat market
j has rarely if ever been eqfraled. The
I an excited bulge of 10% cents accom|
panying the Russian duma's rejection
i of peace. Skyrocketing of j>rices to a
j further extent both preceded and followed
Lloyd George's initial address
as premier, but was suddenly succeeded
by a downward movement of 7 \2 cents,
owing to assertions that the door 16 a
peace conference had not been wholly !
' closed.
Rebounds Follow Big Drop.
Prospects of new efforts to end hostilities
resulted on Wednesday in
further declines which next day assumed
almost panicky proportions 'luring
whirlwind selling that knocked
down the market 7 cents as a result
of President Wilson's note calling on
the belligerent powers to specify their
terms.
Rebounds to higher levels in the
wheat market Thursday and yesterday
were ascribed in the main to immense
Purchases for Kuropean governments,
chiefly Great Britain. No accurate figures
regarding t-be aggregate of export
sales could be obtained, but cur
rent estimates placed the total well up
in millions of bushels.
Corn and oats rose principally by
reason of sympathy with wheat. Car
scarcity shutting' off receipts was also
a bullish factor.
Doubts that a peace conference was
yet in sight weakened provisions.

N'KW ORLEANS, December 23.?The
bullish features in the weekly statistical
statement, large mill takings,
large exports, small into sight and the
shrinkage in the visible supply, stimulated
buying of'cotton around the opening
today. On a quiet but, steady tone
the market moved upward 26 to 32
points in the first half hour of business.

The advance was steadily widened on
buying for both accounts. Recent short

large scale. The supply of contracts
at no time, during the session was
liberal. Late in the morning the
market stood 53 to 60 points over yesterday's
