COURSE OF PRICES UNAFFECTED
ny PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
TlMIDiTY REGARDING CONGRESS-.
The Doubt Usual on the Opening of
New sesyion-Whent, Corn, and
Oats Lower-Provfsionx Higher
Other Markets.

NEW YORK, December 5.-There was
much interest and curiosity manifested
In Wall Street to-day regarding the Pres
idents message. When 1t was published
1t was found TO be so free Of matter cal
culeted to affect the value Of securities
that the course OF prices was left to the
influence Of technical causes. The recent
view of professional traders has been that
the message would prove a bull docu-
mcnt. and that they have bought stocks
under that conviction. Upon the puDlica-
ton of the message, it was natural,
therefore, that this element should sell
10 take their profits. But the chief effect
of the anticipation of the message was TO
curtail operations in the stock market.
This tendency was emphasized by the alb
sence OF telegraphic communication with
many points in the country, owing TO the
storm. There was not entirely lacking,
also. the prOverbial disposition of STOCK
Exchange traders toward a feeling OF
tlmidity on the advent OF the opening OF
Congress, due 10 the prejudice of Wall
Street. which some of the Representatives
and Senators assembled at Washington
entertain and n desire 10 be let alone In
methods for the profitable employment OF
capital against which congressional legls-
lation Is at times directed. The prevailing

SOME STRENGTH EARLY.
There was a period OF comparative
strength in the morning, especially IN
some Of the stocks which showed strength
last week. The majority of the standard
stocks, however. were notably dull, and
for the most part heavy There was some
firmness manifest in the Coalers, on the
strength of the cold weather.
The bond market was decidedly more
active than that for stocks. a number OF
lately dormant issues were brought into
activity, and moved sharply upward.
