Business Transacted and Prices Paid al
Home and Abroad

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The stock market
today displayed considerable irregularity
but fluctuations aside from the high priced
specialties. which moved in quite an err
ratio fashion. were mainly within a mar
row range. The railways were less promi-
nent than usual in the trading and compar-
ative prices fail to reveal noteworthy chan
ges as result of the days operations. The
opening was strong and higher in sympathy
with the adviceS from London of improv-
ing monetary conditions and higher prices
for American securities at that center.
Inactive arbtrage inquiry was also noted
The bills were encouraged by the appear
ance of commission house orders, which
included some of the eilt-edged class of Sc
curties. The continued rally was re-
garded as natural and there was greater
disposition to take a matter-offact view
of the approaching re-assemblage of con-
gress. There were evidences of pool sup
port. The bears made a decided effort to
check the upward movement around mid
day and by directing considerable pres
sure against the high-priced shares pre-
cipitated declines in the general market,
some stocks receding to below yesterdays
figures. support was noted at intervals,
but the general speculation during the
afternoon was practically featureless Su-
gar was again under pressure and Ameri-
can spirits, common adm preferred yield
ed sharply but made u partial recovery
later. The general market closed heavy
in tone. The bond market ruled firm and
higher for most issues. Rio Grande Wes-
tern interests were unusually active and
improved IA per cent. good foreign de-
mand was noted for investment and spec
ulative account with the bonds of the reor-
ganized properties in request. The sales
for the day Were $l.S53, 900. Government
bonds We're featureless today on sales of
$4,000

pounds last year The market is active
in spots and the general feeling is very
firm. The market is hardly just as buoy
ant as it was just after election, as expee-
tations have not been realized as regar@
prices and the volume of orders. Thb
greater part of. the wool taken out OF the
market the past week has gone to largH
manufacturers, the small mills not being
much in evidence. Fleece wools continue
to be held firmly This tendency on the
part of the trade has unquestioqably re-
suited in a larger business in territory
and foreign wool than would otherwise
have taken place. Some very fair-size4
blocks of territory have been purchased
during the week. sales considerably exc
ceeding those of the previous week.

CHICAGO MARKET.
The Days Transactions on the Board of
Trade.

CHICAGO Dec. "A short time after
the opening today wheat was strong and
higher. Liverpool opened I'd higher for
wheat futures and the effect of that upon
general sentiment was at once seen in
half cent rise in the price of May when
trading commenced. For fifteen minutes
it looked as if the sickness in the bull herd
had passed but such was not the case, as
subsequent events quickly revealed. The
first transactions in May were at from SSss4
to "a, but it soon fell to 1895, liquidation be-
ing responsible for the decline Longs
who had any profits left were inclined to
realize and secure it while they who had
a loss or were sold out. fearing that the loss
might increase the speculative situation
were inclined to hold on. The receipts at
MINNEAPOLIS and Duluth amounted to only
316 cars, as compared with 40 last week
and s33 last year. Chicago receipts were
32 cars against 81 last week and 1!9 last year.
This figure. however. had no effect on the
market. BY 12 o'clock the price had work
ed down to SIS. The feeling continued
weak and depressed, although prices re-
covered y from the lowest point. May rest
ing at S3ss or 11s below the price Of yester-
day Trading in corn was splSNess and
the tone was heavy, partly in sympathy
with the decline in wheat and partly be-
cause of an expectation of heavier re-
ceipts. induced by the cold weather. Oats
were heavy and lower, with big business
transacted. The feature of the market
was the free liquidation of May by. the
crowd in New YORK, Wnlcn caused an
independently weak market. There was
slight improvement near the close. re-
petition of yesterdays slump was looked
for in provisions at the opening. The days
run of hogs was almost unprecedented, but
its effect was felt only at the opening.
Strong support was given and the early
decline was.soon recovered.
