talks" were heartily enjoyed by all who gain

New York Dec. BIN the forenoon
dealings in the stock market the transac-
tions reached even a larger total than
they did yesterday. Subsequently. while
the trading continued very heavy, there
was a moderate shading in activity as
compared with the morning hours. While
there was no essential change in any
quarter of the outside situation, the temp
tation to realize profits accruing in the
great rise in prices In the month was
naturally powerful. Technically cpnsid-
cred, about the only bears on the market
are the sold out bulls. 1t goes without
saying that at one time or another the
current rise must culminate in a reac-
ton of more or less severity, but such
reaction, barring the occurrence of some
unioreseeable catastrophe, Is apparently
as far off as ever. AS a matter of fact,
while the average price level OF the mar
ket is high, 1t has not yet reached a dam
gerous point, considered in relation TO the
money market and general trade situa-
ton.
Interest in the market was not so well
distributed as Ii was yesterday, the
granger shares, for example, being rela-
| lively duh. On the other hand, the de-
creased activity in that quarter was made
good by extraordinarily heavy dealings
| in the Atchson shares. Southern Rail-
ways, the Pacific stocks including Mis-
! souri, Pacific and Manhattan Railway. In
! the industrial divisions, Sugar Refining
| and Manhattan Tobacco were heavy,
| while the Federal Steel shares advanced
on large dealings. The heaYiness of
| American Tobacco was presumably owing
to the opening of the subscription lists
| for the stock in the newly organized COM
| petitive concern, and Sugar Refining re-
! sponded more definitely to the disturbed
! trade conditions.
The extraordinary strength and activity
| of all the Atchison issues made them the
! conspicuous feature of the dealings in
! both the stock and bond divisions of the
| market Purchases of these securities
were based on representations as to what
1t is expected the company can show
| when it has reduced its percentage OF
operating expenses to normal level.
Other sharp rises were In the Kansas and
Texas issues, Omaha, Pullman Palace
Car and the Wabash issues. Foreign
houses traded actively in the local market
on both sides of the account, but We're
again large buyers on balance.

There was a great days business on
the stock exchange yesterday, and on the
whole it was probably unsatisfactory to
the bulls. There was very heavy realiz-
ing in the morning hours. The public
continued to buy eagerly and in the lat
ter part of the day there was profess
sional buying also in several stocks, but
in a large part of the list the realizing
overbalanced the buying SO that there
were recessions in prices. The exceptions
to this were the Federal Steel securities,
the Atchison securities, and one or two
other specialties. 1t is out of the ques-
ton to foretell what will be the next move
of the market, but perhaps the chances
favor further shading of prices in the
general list. London was higher yester-
day and the arbitrage houses did a large

chases exceeding their sales.

The situation in Tobacco Is as unprom-
ising as that in Sugar. The purchase of
the Blackwell Durham plant yesterday
gives the Union Tobacco Company a new
lever with which to obtain business in
the cigarette field. 1t would seem that
with the capital of the company and the
experience and the already acquired
large trade II should be easy for II TO
make tremendously strong rival for the
trust. And no matter what the people
in the new company may say of their
friendly intentions toward the trust it
remains the fact that every cigarette II
sells will injure the business of the
American COMPANY just so much.

There was fine spurt in Federal Steel
yesterday. 1t was not all retained, but at
the close there was gain OF rs in the

unique position of the securities of this
company has been commented on many
times in this column. The steel and iron
trade will be wonderful this year, the
largest ON record perhaps. Prices will be
good, and improving. II is the fact that
the earnings OF the several companies
which compose the trust were last year
insufficient to have paid per cent on the
preferred stock of the trust as 1t is now
run. But the earnings now are much
