ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Dec 22.-There was moth
ing in today's stock market to refute the
opinion generally held that speculation in
securities will continue dull until after the
first of the new year and the release of
Some of the funds at present locked up in
large financial operations. Sagging prices
are generally the accompaniment of such
market, but there was sufficient strength
in special stocks, due to several special
causes, to act as a sustaining force on
the general list, and net gains are the rule
in consequence. The marked feature in
the trading and the centers of greatest
strnegth were the local traction compa-
MES Manhattan rose points, but lost
a fraction. The coalers were also agrees
lively strong and showed gains of between
l and points, the Reading issues being
especially prominent. The Industrial spe-
cialties generally showed net gains of
quite large fractions. The statements of
estimated earnings for the last quarter
of the year of several of the Vanderbilt
roads were viewed unfavorabiy and acted
as drag on the railrvld list In view of
the large business known to have been
done by these roads. the small increases
in gross earnings, and in the case of Can
ada Southern ain actual decrease, was taken
as an indication of rates for traffic such
as promised only an unsatisfactory re-
turn to owners. This was partly offset by
the November statement of Northwestern,
showing an increase in net earnings of
$725,S77.
Reports of the adjustment of the differ
ences between the Ohio soft coal roads
were heard with satisfaction among hold
ers of railroad securities. The present
stiffness IN the money market, 1t is be-
lieved will be only temporary and the
completion of the operations connected
with the Union Pacific settlement and the
disbursements incident to the beginning
of the year will give relief. For this reason
the weakness of exchange has not in
duced talk of gold imports at New York
Gold is. however on the way from Aus
tralla to San Francisco.
The bond market was comparatively in
active, especially in some of the favorite
issues, but prices were we'll maintained

Boston Wool Market

BOSTON, Dec. 22.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of
the wool market:
The past week territory woods have dis
placed Australian as the feature of the
market. The sales of territory were al
most ten times as large as those of the pre-
vious week. amounting in the aggregate
to over 3,9000CO pounds. A number of the
heaviest buyers in the country have been
in the market. The large transactions In
territory wool were reported to have been
at full rates, at about IS or 20 cents. What
ever concessions are made are for the
most part on old wool. Coming events
cast their shadows before, and the large
purchases of Montana this week are con-
sidered to be an earnest of a widespread
demand for wool after the new year has
made its appearance.
Foreign woods have been largely neglect
cd. The sales of the week amount to
900 pounds domestic and 9S1.00o for
eign. making total of 5.S63, 900, against a
total of 2514,CO0 for the previous week.

European MarIals

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
The stock markets here were quiet to-
day. They opened rather dull, but closed
firm. Americans were good from start to
finish. closing strong at the best. The
markef-opened with good buying orders
from New York. A feature was the jump
in Central Pacific. which was largely
bought. 1t is said that the reorganization
scheme will not adversely affect the shares.
Readings were also bought here late in
the day. Grand Trunks were bought by
Montreal. Mines were lifeless. Japanese
bonds were again fiat and dropped one
point. A further large business was done
today by the Bank of England in loans
at Sla per cent and discount of bills of all
dates ranging up to 60 days at per cent
The policy of the bank in raising rates for
loans is easy to see and is very COM
mendable. By attracting discount busi-
ness instead of short loans, they increase
their chance of keeping control of the mar
ket in the early part of next year. Signs
are constant now of the banks more Wig
orous and up-to-date policy.
The Indian council today sold forty akhs
in bills at about Is. 8 1924. per rupee. and
one lakh of specials at Is. 3 11-lGd. The
movement of gold from Australia to San
Francisco excites much interest here.
