BOTHER ABOUT AOKI
Ambassadors Recall Is Dis
turbing to Wall Street.
LITTLE INTEREST IN MESSAGE
Presidents PrOnOuncemcDts to Con-
gJfcss Has No Eject on Trading.
High Prices Induces Movement to
Sell with No Other Reason than
Speculative Interest.

New York, Dec. 3.-Wall Street was re-
minded to-day that when the market be-
comes ripe for a reaction a very small
circumstance will suffice to bring one
about. At the end OF the first hour ag-
gressive strength disappeared and re-
action supervened merely because an
Oriental gentleman announced his inten-
ton OF paying visit TO his own coun-
try. The gentleman in question hap
pened TO be the japanese Ambassador to
the United States. and, though there prob
ably was not a single trader who really
believed that Niscount Aoki's proposed
visit To Japan indicated that the diplo-
matte relations between the two countries
had become strained all Of them seemed
TO consider it a sufficiently good pretext
for reaction in the market.
In the first hour the market ran wild
and exhausted its strength. Such rapid
advances as occurred invited selling, and
the selling caused most traders to know
mat when such an invitation is refused
IL is not likely to be extended soon again,
and. as n rule, those who had good
profits proceeded TO turn a part of them
INTO cash. They were afforded an eX-
cellent opportunity for the shorts. who did
not know how far the upward movement
might carry. continued their rush to cover
as a precautionary measure.
Message Was Anticipated.
The Presidents message and its ap-
pearance shortly after noon had no ef-
feet on the trading because il conceded
with the forecasts current in Wall street
and with the synopsis printed by one of
the morning papers in advance of the
time set for the release Of the document.
Bankers and brokers took the view that
had there been no leaks the effect of
the message would have been slight
because there are few statements in it
that should not have been considered
moderate as coming from Mr. Roosevelt.
American Smelling and Refining sold
III the first hour as high as 1871. an ad-
vance of ia points from the low of
tuesday OF last week This represented
pretty rapid work and it was hardly 10
be expected that the stock could continue
70 make such headway for any great
length of time
Reading. like Shelters, took violent
spurt IN the first hour, rising to 9Jl4. an
advance OF 233a points from the years
low record, made on October "a Com
pared with a week ago the advance was
about 10 points. That the rise was large
ly of the new era Of the nature of q
campaign against the shorts is toIerablv
plain as the other hard coalers. Jersey
CITY and Lackawana, while participat
ing IN the phenomenal prosperity in the
trade, did not join in the advance be-
cause in them the factor OF a short in
terest was wholly lacking.
Amalgamated Copper was one Of the
weakest stocks on the list.
