NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Constant Fluctuation Of Prices in
Market Makes it Puzzling.
ONE OF sPECUIAT1oNs
Bond Issues Continue TO BE
Announced and Bankers Re-
port Large Demand for
offerings.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The constant fuc-
tuation of prices in today's stock market
made 1t puzzling to discern tie prevailing
tone Of the speculation.
The pressure to sell was much less pro-
nounced than late yesterday. This fact
formed the basis for some efforts to get
prices to a high level which as often were
frustrated by the dying out OF the demand
as prices got dearer. On the occasional de-
cline there developed a sufficient demand
TO check the tendency and rally prices. The
money market showed the firmer tone
winch developed early this week in connec-
ton with the December settlements, the
requlsition on banking resources on account
or new securty issues and the gold export.
CAL loans advanced to 8 per cent. Govern
nave taken from the banks since the last
bank statement IS. 1884, 600, including a with
drawal of government deposits with the
banks early In the week. Payment for the
gold shipped to France today is not included
IN the Withdrawals to date. The slight eff
feet produced on the foreign exchange mar
ket by the gold shipment makes 1t evident
that further shipments will be made.
New bond issues continue to be announced
and bankers report a large demand for their
otterings, indicating the good appetite of
capital for these Investments.
A 100000 participation by New York
bankers In the Brazilian coffee loan was
announced today. The st. Louis & San
Francisco financing was considered today
more on its merits and aside from the
dent yesterday.
The good influence Of the means thus as
SuIeu TOT sustaining a widespread and i'm
~portantly connected railroad property was
recognized in its bearing upon general con-
ditions as well as upon the property con-
eerned. There was selling here of stocks
Tor foreign account in spite of the easier
tone of the London discount market, based
on the failure to advance to the official
discount rate of the Bank of England. In
coming reports OF railroad net earnings for
October It is indicated that the September
rate of Improvement was not fully main
tained at that time either in the gross or
the net, the decrease being larger and the
increase in net, by curtailment Of operation
expenses, smaller than In the earlier COM
PARSONS, The latest returns Of gross earn
lngs for November also show, comparing
with the last year when the depression be-
gan to make Itself felt, no growth in the
rate of increase over earlier periods.
United States Steel sold below "a for the
first time since the week of the national
elections. No reason was given for the
special strength shown by the Gould group,
Great Northern preferred and a few others.
In most cases last prices were but little
changed from the day before.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $5,575,0OO United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

At the same time the July delivery

the December delivery failed to reach by

no evidence today OF any support from the

moderate sellers here and in the nrQth-
western markets. The upturn late IN the
day was due chiefly to covering by shorts.

WEATHER IN THE GRAIN BEL
Cloudy and Possibly snow and Colder
Friday.

OMAHA, Dec. 2, 1908.
The weather has become generally cloudy
throughout the central valleys and western
portion, and light SHOWS are general in the
southwest. The pressure is high over the
east and south, and temperatures have
continued to fall along the Atlantic sea-
board and in the gulf states. A very de-
clded and general rise in temperature is
shown this morning from the lake region
west to the Pacific slope. The pressure
is very unevenly distributed over the noun
tain district, with an area of high moving
in over the extreme northwest, and the OUT
look is favorable for cloudy and unsettled
weather in this vicinity, with possibly
snow tonight or Friday, and colder Friday.
