UNCERTAIN TONE
IN STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The stock mar
ket today was still characterized by the
wide movements in stocks not usually
prominent in the dealings. The sudden
awakening into activity of these at ad-
vancing prices was accompanied in some
cases by deal rumors. Here and there
were slight signs of reinvestment demand
in anticipation Of the profits to be avail
able for use after the first of the year. In
the bond market, where it is usually most
marked, il has made no perceptible I'M
preston at all, the demand for bonds con-
tinuing inert up to this time.
The speculating movement was hating
and irregular. The active strength Of the
first hour seemed to be taken advantage
of to effect some distribution of stocks,
and the tone was dropping thereafter The
action of Reading was of large sympathetic
effect in this result. That stock after
early strength sold off on reports that the
meeting of directors TO act on the dividend
would be held tomorrow.
Attention was attracted by report that
the United States steel corporation will
assign preferred stock for subscription to
employees this year, in pursuance OF the
profit sharing plan, instead of common
stock. for which the employees were al
lowed to subscribe at so last January.
Preparations for enforcing the corpora
ton tax are cause of disquiet to cor
porations.
Adroit use is being made in the speou-
lation of the varying rumors of the merger
Of the SO called Guggenheim copper prop
critics, Of which official details were lack
ing yesterday.
Interest rates for 60 day and six month
loans were lowered today, with increased
offerings and lessened demand. Call loans
again touched per cent, although heavy
disbursements for tomorrow, including the
Standard oil dividend, did not seem to at
feet the market. Foreign exchange rates
were higher again, and gold was engaged
for shipment TO South America.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Wheat weak all day
today with the exception of short period at
the start During the day December sold be
tween $112A and S1.1415. May ranged from
s1.10% to $1.12A. Late in the session December
displayed some recuperative power and advanced
nearly 1c from the bottom. but the future de-
liveries failed to rally. The close was heavy,
with prices &c higher to aMMc lower, final
figures on December being at $1.13 and on May
at $1.10& G11015.
General liquidation was the order in corn and
the market was weak. The selling based ON
extremely heavy deliveries yesterday on DeceI1-
Der contracts and on the prospect of further lib
eral deliveries today. Cash interests were free
sellers of the December delivery. which dis
played the greatest weakness The range for
the current month between 62bc and 64c.
May ranged between 66c and 66Nc. Colder
weather in the belt and an increase in con-
tract stocks in store here additional bearish
factors. The market closed weak. with prices
down q G2c, with December at 621sc and May
at 661kc.
Oats were inclined to be weak owing to profit
taking brought out chiefly by the break in wheat
and corn. Prices closed y G11sc lower.
