SLACK MOVEMENT NEW HIGH RECORD
Prevailed in Prices of Stocks Yester-
day-Activity Was Spotty
and Short-lived.

New York, Dec. 1G.-Difficulty was
found in throwing off the lethargic
tendency OF speculation in stocks to-
day. The movement of prices was
hating and irregular and there were
long pauses in the activity. Many
obscure stocks which were recently
active lapsed into a dormant state.
Speculative holders of small blocks
learned, on inquiry, that there were
no bids for their stocks for several
points down. Forced sales ensuing
caused wide breaches in values, and
indicated the manipulative origin for
the sort-lived activity.
A positive factor towards sympa.
thetic strength was the demand for
high price western railroad stocks es-
pecially Union and Southern Pacific.
The demand in the general list, how
ever was scanty, the firmness finding
explanation rather in the small offer
ings than in the active absorption
The passing of the yearend period is
felt desirable before attempting large

the premium of New York exchange

although the Chicago money market
itself was reported easier. The news
of the absorption of the Independent
telephone companies by the banking
house which transacted the recent
financing for the American Telephone
Company strengthened the impression
of the uninterrupted progress of the
consolidation of corporate interests.
