New York, Dec. 1.-Stocks early in the
day were weaker on further selling by
those who have been working to Iiquidate
for week or so. The decline was in
significant, except in the case of a few
specialties, such as Denver and Rio
Grande, and Big Four. The tactics of
the bears and sold-out bulls failed to dis
lodge the long stock, and shortly after
the opening the market drifted into dull
ness. In the last hour the bears, recog-
nizing their inability to depress prices
advance all along the line. In the cases
of Jersey Central, Consolidated Gas,
Omaha and Chicago Gas, the rise was 25a
as per- cent. Omaha sold up points.
Chicago Gas, 25s to 741A; Consolidated Gas,
21A to 500, and Jersey Central 215 per cent
The change for the better during the after
noon was due mainly to an impression
that the presidential message would be
of pacific character 1t Is said he will
not take a decided stand on the Cubae
question, and will leave the matter to the
incoming administration. Speculation
closed strong, with an advancing ten
dency. Net changes show gains of A9a
per cent, Total sales were 195034 shares,
including 80. 100 Sugar. 1880 ST. Paul, 49,
400 Reading. The bond market was strong
to-day. The total sales were $ll,6S00O0
