NOTABLE SHOW OF STRENGTH
MADE IN THE STOCK MARKET.
PRICES ARE AFFECTED ONE
PER CENT OR MORE.
Soft Coal Group Is Particularly
Helped-RumOrs of a Great
Combine.

New York. Dec. 1.-To-day's stock market
made a rather notable show of strength;
and prices were lifted quite generally l
per cent or more. This was due in part to
the sympathetic effect of movement in spe-
cha! stocks. in which a speculative cam
pafgn was going on, but general considera-
tons also played a part. Apart from the
special movements. the most notable was in
the local traction group. The accompanying
! gossip quite generally pointed to a plan for
a comprehensive merger of the traction ia
cilities within the Greater New York cor
control OF New York Central and Pennsyi,
vania. Manhattan conspicuiously abstained
from a share in the movement and was at
in this stock We're rather light This gave
some color to a superstition that the move
ment among the other fractions was de-
signed to adjust their valuations 20 the
higher level already attained by Manhat-
tan. Another conspicuous center OF strength
north and south roads, traversing the re-
gion between the Ohio River and the lakes.
binIng ali The railroads in the group by
making a holding company of one of the
smaller companies. Hooking Valley and
Eanawha and Michigan We're most conspic-
uously affected.
HOPE FOR RELIEF.
Among the more general considerations
which affected the market was a hope that
the Dec. disbursements Of interest and DIV
ideuds, which are estimated at about S.o,-
Go.ur. would afford relief to the local money
market.
Inc payment IN LONDON to-CaS ol 50
0oO.JD on account of the shippinS combine
also aroused hopes of easier conditions in
the money market. Rates for call money
were firm. under the continuing influence
Of preparations for the December disburse-
ments and the time money rates were I'M
changed. Now York exchange at Chicago
rose again to par. but a deposit was made
at the Subtreasury of s2J0.OO for transfer
to the interior. The opinion Of bankers. in
spite of to-day's stock market view. is for
a continuance Of close money influence over
the year here. There was some speculation
on the m that selling of stocks
on the ground Of supposed antitrust senti-
ment. which was to be expressed in the
Presidents message. would prove unwar-
ranted. Some very heavy blocks of St
Paul were placed on the market, the source
of which gave rise to gossip in connection
with the authorized new stock issue. The
mystery of the selling was unrevealed. The
seasonable cold weather has a good effect
on the general market. and more especially
on the coaierS. There were setbackS
throughout the day. but the closing was
firm and at about the top for many stocks.
Bonds Were irregular. Total sales, par
