Buoyant Tone Developed in Stock
Market Today.
STRONG BULL INFLUENCES At WORK
Sugar and the IndustriaIs Were
the Features in Buying.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 1.-The stock
market today consisted OF continuation
Of the better feeling and renewed activity,
with the entire list buoyant in tone and the
buying from a source of which there is
no mistaking the genuineness. Although
prices did not advance today with as much
rapidity yesterday, still the real strength
OF the market was more apparent, and al
though there was the covering of some
shorts, this item toward recovery was very
small as compared to yesterday.
London was somewhat inclined to sell
stocks in the early trading, but changing
of tactics at that center was noticed in the
later rally.
The opening quotations reflected little
change from yesterdays clos!ngs, but the
same influence that was so instrumental in
the sharp rise Of yesterday soon COM
menced to bid up prices all around the
room, and sharp rally resulted.
This advance was checked however, and
the natural desire to take advantage or
profits soon became apparent to the extent
of a decline back to the initial quotations
In some stocks.
There was TO news en- the market. and
the only talk was regarding the Presidents
message and Congress.
Sugar was, as usual, the leader in the
market, both to the amount of advance
and volume of business. Shortly after the
opening 1t advanced very quickly on buy
ing, but the same interests that have en-
couraged the price upward since $50, but
on realizing sales, after the noon hour, 1t
declined TO the extent of the early rally,
and closed with but little change from
yesterdays closing price.
The granger shares continued very ac-
tive today, and although losing in value
on the days transactions they closed very
firm. Burlington and Rock Island scored
an early advance, but lost most of the
early rally on realizing sales in the after
noon.
The rapid transit stocks, Manhattan and
Metropolitan Traction, both held very well
today. the former particularly acting con-
trary to the list in the late decline
Prices for bonds continue to improve, and
particularly is this true Of government
securities. which are quite strong and &C
tive.
The market on realizing continued to de-
cline up to the close with last quotations
about the lowest for the day.

CASE OF MGR. SCHROEDER,
Purposes of Rome Communicated to
Catholic Authorities

The purposes of Rome concerning the case
of Mgr Schroeder of the Catholic J'niyer-
sity have been made known to the Catholic
authorities in this country. The informa-
ton has not come in any official form, but
in the possession of Cardinal Gibbons
chancellor of the Catholic University, and
Mgr. Martinell the papal delegate.
The latter has said only that he has no
official informal ton.
IL Is understood that the Vatican neither
VIII approve nor disapprove the action of
the board of directors of the Catholic Uni
dlsapproval would lead to further Irritation
and scandal.
Ii has been deemed best to close tho
whole controversy as speedily rs possible
and without formal orders from Rome
which would numiliate one side or the
ether.
The main desire. 1t is said has been to
accomplish results with the least possible
outward agitation. To that end an under
standing has been reached that MGR
Schroeder will resign within the present
scholastic year, and probably at an early
day.
The resignation will be accepted. Mgr
Schroeder gave assurances to the univer-
sity board that he would resign il the none
permitted him to do so, and no furthe
doubt exists as TO this permission being
given.
This conclusion has doubtless been
brought about in large part by a letter
Mgr. Schroeder recently addressed to Rome
Ia this he reviewed the course of the per-
sons making charges against him, and 81 i'd
it had inspired in him such deep abhor-
renee of the methods employed that under
no circumstances would he return to the
university except on the positive command
of the pope.
