New York, Dec. 7.-Tc days stock
market displayed noteworthy strength
throughout the day and the ds.lidnd

Veloped most aggressive strength later
showed small losses at the opening
This was notably true in the cases of
Louisville and Atchison preferred. The
early strength in the market was. in
fact, MIDST notable in the specialties
There was scramble Of competing or

tile security up 32s per cent. in the first
fifteen minutes OF trading. 1t dropped

The largest gains In the first hour
were all in the specialties. Southern

uhe price was advanced n point Jersey
Central also showed q tendency to re-
cover from its recent weakness though
It's tone was rather feverish. This and
ahe irreSuaity of Sugar checked the
advance and activity of the market at
times and there were several periods
OF dizziness on slight reactions during
the day. 1t was mJt Till the afternoon

STOCKS did not compare fav0ra5 bly, in
Strength with those in the Southern re-
sion, which to-day began to feel the
remarkable showing OF gains of gross
earnings for the fourth week in Novom-
per which have been reported during
the week by the roads in that region.
Inc market was helped ais, by the
dividend declarations announced to-day
anu those in prospect. The action OF the
mark"t reflected very distinctly the
large ana aggressive operations of ma
IHpulniiVe combinations. and there was
very little outside interest manifested
