FINANCIAL-COMMERCIAL NEW YORK STOCK AND BOND MARKET , NEW YORK. Dec. The constant fluctua tion of prices in today's stock market made it puzzling to discern tho prevailing tone of the speculation. ■ The pressure 10 sell -was | much lees pronounced than late yesterday. This fact formed the basis for. some efforts to get prices to a high level, which as often wore frustrated by the. dying out of till de mand as prices got higher. On the occasional declines there developed a sufficient demand to check the tendency, and rally prices. The constant change In the course of tho price movement afforded a harvest for the traders, who were sufficiently agile to turn with tho tide. Their profits, however, .were largely at the expense of other traders less agile. The movements were almost wholly In the hands of professionals. The money market showed a firmer tone which developed earlier In the week in connection with the settlements, the requisition In banking resources on account of new securities Issued and the (fold ex ports.

There was selling here of stocks for foreign account In spite of the easier otne ,of the London discount market, based on th' failure to advance the official discount rate of the Bank of England. Incoming reports of railroad net earnings for October Indicate that the September rate of Improvement was not fully maintained at that time, either in the gross or the net, the decrease in gross being larger and th- Increase in net by cur tailment of operating expenses smaller than in the earlier comparisons. The latest returns of gross earnings for November also, al though comparing with the period last year when the depression began to make Itself felt, show no growth In the rate of increase over earlier periods. The earlier movement to market of both grain and cotton Is supposed to be responsi ble In part for the slowing down in the rates of : Import. The lull In the Iron trade and copper is of similar Import and tho low price of silver Is an additional consideration bear ng on the metal and mining stocks. U. S.

CHICAGO GRAIN (Special service to The Herald by J. C. Wil son, member Chicago Board of Trade, Hotel Alexandria, Los Angeles). CHICAGO. Dec. B.—The news on wheat was mixed. Cables were weak, weather warming up and predictions of snow. The only favor able Item was the. sharp falling off of receipts In the northwest: The market 'had an easy 1 el] late In the session, caused by some of the trailers selling put. but upon the develop ment of considerable strength In oats the wheat market swung up again and closed at prac tically the best figures. Aside from those who keep long wheat among smaller longs it Is rer.erally admitted that the comerclal posi tion Is pretty well discounted, but they are bullish upon what they call the speculative situation. One thing Is certain, the experience of those who sell wheat on the breaks Is costly and we assume :t will continue to be so until such time as the market 13 eased up by sales of real long wheat. The corn market had very little independent strength. Firmness . was caused largely by shorts covering and sympathetic strength Im parted by wheat and oats. The market was rather heavily sold and we understand that the basis of the buying of the last few days has not been because of any change In position by leading shorts, but simply a scalping proposi tion. The trade in oats was unsually active. There were more people In the oats pit today than for many months. Barley prices are on the rise and the use of that article- are believers In-the oats market for the present. Provisions were easier on the liberal run of hegs west, heavy packing operations and heavy selling by a local packing Industry as well as a isood deal of commission house liquidation.

On returning to the platform Dr. Tor ney expressed great joy over the occur rence. He said that many times in his experience men under the Influence oi! liquor had been converted, and he ex pressed great hope for the man who had gone forward. Later in. the meeting the man —whose name was not given out —seemed to have sobered up and took part in the service. "Los Angetes, with all its beauty and advantages, has more temptations than almost any other city in the world." said Dr. Torrey last night in his ser mon from the words, "What shall It profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" "That question ought to set all of you to thinking," continued Dr. Torrey. "There are two things in great con trast—world and soul—and what proflt eth a man if he is of the world and loses his own soul. "If I were looking for happiness I would not go to the dance hall, theater, card party or gambling den. "The man whose sould is saved gains the present as well as future happi ness. He has two heavens, here and hereafter. "If a man loses his soul It will be a poor bargain for him. Even money does not satisfy. Millionaires are the most unhappy men. Not ores has ever been known to be satisfied or to sing a Joyous song. Contrast him with the Salvationist who sings Joyous songs. "Power and pleasure do not satisfy, neither do human science, the dance hall or the race track. There Is only one way of satisfaction, and that is through the merits of Jesus Christ." This afternoon Dr. Torrey will speak on "The Fundamental Principles of Success in Soul Winning."
