European Mars1ets

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-The Evening
Posts financial cablegram says: The
stock markets here today We're fiat on all
sorts of vague and improbable rumors. A
feature was the sharp fall of 91 in Ana
conda copper. These shares are widely held
here, and by the best people, so that the
fall had a marked effect on all the markets.
Telegrams from the Anaconda mines are
said to report an unfavorable output in
the last two months, and that engineers are
coming over to make explanations. In the
meantime, l am privately informed that
the company has completed arrangements
with Its leading brokers here to sell an
unplaced balance of shares. Other mines
were also fiat In sympathy with the fall
in Ottoman bank shares, partly attributed
to sales by that bank under the new man
agement of shares long held.
Americans were irregular but there was
quite good undertone.
Louisville and Nashville was bought
against options. Argentines were q frac-
tion lower. although the Rothschid COM
mittee today was satisfactory. 1t was de-
cided to resume full service of the 1886 loan
In January next to pay deferred interest
on that loan by March. The market, how
ever, was too uncomfortable to be easily
cheered today,

Bradstreet's Review

NEW YORK. Dec 1O-Bradstreet's re-
view Of general trade tomorrow will say:
Mild weather throughout most Of the
country has interfered to some extent with
the distribution Of winter-weight clothing
and other seasonable goods, and trade
from first hands is quieter even than last
week. Jobbers and retailers, however re-
port steadily increasing and in some re-
gipns very active business in holiday goods,
groceries and kindred products. Reports
from the south continue as a whole very
good, with especially favorable accounts
from New Orleans. Atlanta, Nashville and
the central south.
Collections are as rule very satisfactory
in spite Of the low price for cotton. Favor
able reports come from Chicago. Kansas
City. st. Louis and st. Paul, in the central
west and northwest. while the Pacific coast
notes heavy increase In trade, present
and contingent based upon enlarged Alas
kan demand. San Francisco reports the
wheat crop improved by recent rains, with
conservative estimates pointing to yield
of $4,000 tons,
General export trade on the coast Is
very heavy. The price situation Is one Of
sustained and even aggressive strength.
Wheat u higher, partly on improved sta
7ttstical position. but largely in sympathy
with the Chicago squeeze. which has ad-
vanced prices 15 cents per bushel within
week In that market. All cereals have
sympathized with wheat and coffee. con-
per, cotton. dairy products, leaf tobacco
ana raw sugar are also among the prom
lnent staples which have been enhanced
IN value. The decreases have been few and
slight shading at Pittsburg and sympa-
thtic weakness at other points ON an i'm
mense production.
Cereal exports continue very large,

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Wheat at the OPEN
ing was very uncertain quantity. 1t was
generally conceded that 1t was to the in
terest of the bull clique to allow the De-
cember price to settle down to a point
where 1t would be less attractive for coun-
try holders to send all their wheat Of
contract grade to Chicago, but because
this was palpable. many others expected
a similar course and there was a weak
market The disappointment over poor
response Of Liverpool to the advance here
had some effect on opening prices. The
opening Of December was downward, but
1t very soon became strong again and
took only two skips In recovering from
106A to 1.OS 1t opened at 1.O7, or the same
figures as the close Of the day before. 1t
soon became evident that the price went
up not because of any manipulation Of the
clique, but in spite Of their efforts to keep
it down. They tried 1t again. however,
later in the session. and had more success,
December selling on that occasion at 1.O6
May was largely influenced by the course
of December 1t opened \ lower at 921s@
92A. Trade was quiet for the first forty
minutes, during which May kept within
the range Of 92N and 9l%. At the end of
that time some few buying orders came In
together, the crowd in the meantime hav-
ing got short. and a rapid rise to 9Sh oc-
CURED in consequence. The bull turn thus
given to the market did not last long. 1t
worked downward after that, notwith-
standing some other bullish items of leg1ti-
mate market information. The ordinary
market news was principally of q bullish
character Liverpool advices confirmed
those Of the day before regarding heavy
rains in Argentine There will be PRACTICAL
ly no wheat to ship from this years Aus
tralian crop, and San Francisco reported
the purchase for shipment to Capetown,
South Africa, OF three cargoes Of wheat,
giving corroboration to the news Of a con-
tinuation Of last years dearth in Australia.
The Atlantic port clearances in wheat and
flour were equal to 925 900 bushels. Con-
tinental markets showed moderate strength
and slightly higher prices The market
became quite weak toward the end. Re-
ports that wheat was being started for
Chicago from all over the west on account
Of the high prices prevailing here were cir
culated and made 1t very easy for the
Clique to keep down prices. December
closed 4 cents and May4 cent decline.
The December option held the stage In the
Chicago wheat market and although it
closed at 1.0S. four cents lower than yes
terday, the strength shown in the early
hours Of trading was sufficient to give the
luckless shorts various styles of nervous
chills The peculiar status of today's de-
cline Is the fact that 1t Is generally be-
lieved to have been forced by the bull
clique, which controls the situation. Iule
explanation given is that the bull combine
fears the price is going 80 high at this
time as to invite shipments of contract
wheat to Chicago in enormous quantities.
When the market opened today there
were numerous offers Of December at the
moderate price Of $l.0e, and the selling was

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Bradstreet's financial review tomorrow
Will say:
Public interest In speculation has in
creased to some extent, but the activity
and strength OF this weeks market were
again largely due to professional manipu-
lation. The presidents message, more par
tacularly the part relating to Cuba, was
favorably received by the street. and it
Is apparently conceded that the danger of
unsettling agitation of the Cuban ques-
ton in congress has been materially les
sened. The leading operators who have
taken hold Of the share market ON the bull
side are supported In their attitude by the
increasing activity in bonds and the large
investment demand at advancing figures,
the movement having now extended from
high grade securities to the second class
of railroad mortgages. Large increases
In railroad earnings continue to be one Of
the chief factors In the situation, and ru-
mors are current regarding the payment
OF dividends or tehir interest by q number
OF companies. The announcement that
quarterly dividends Of per cent on the
preferred shares of the reorganized North
ern Pacific road had begun was fully ex-
pected, and aided In giving currency to the
many reports of the same kind In regard
to other corporations. 1t ns true that early
in the week the street had one disappoint-
ment In regard to an extra dividend on
Sugar stock, which was not declared. The
general market. however. manifest ed dis
position to cut loose from Sugar, and was,
indeed, somewhat inclined to disregard
other unfavorable factors. London has
continued to sell sparingly in this market,
and the Indications from Washington seem
to be that. despite the careful treatment
of the currency question by the president.
there is little hope Of any legislation what
over by congress on this subject.

National bank circulation outstanding
on November 80 amounted, according to
the monthly report Of the comptroller Of
the currency to 1928. $40. 7O7. This represents
Z decrease of $496,65S for the month"; and
OF t5,762. s96 for the twelve months ending
4 Herewith. The portion OF the circulation
based on the deposit of bonds amounted
to s20t, ,73s. .572. decrease Of 1885,. 1920 for
tho month Of November. and of $l4.s ,e24

those OF the National City bank of New

the gross deposits Of that institution have

to $50, 1000 This Is largely due to the
recent absorption of the Third NaAional.

National City also got Mt from the pay
ment Of the money on the Union Pacific
purchase q short time ago. As the Ma
ttonal City has among Its patrons J. p.
Morgan, the Standard ON interests and
the American Sugar Refining company.
and AZ the tendency of business Is strongly
toward great combinations, 1t is concluded
that this concern " to be the nucleus of
tremendous money trust, and according
" the antitrust people are much worried.
Some legal proceedings have been COM
menced to head of the movement, 1t
would seem that the apprehension is un-
warranted. The deposits OF the National
City bank. even If they were to remain
at $50, ,0000 900. would be only about one-twen-
ty-hfth of those OF all the national banks
of this country, to say nothing Of the state
banks and private Institutions. or. per-
haps. a little more than fiftieth of the
total deposits. This is not very bad for
the largest bank In the largest city Of the
