N|DE MOVEMENT IN STOCK MARKET ssues Not Prominent Suddenly
 Become Very Active FEW STOCKS GO HIGHER Idvances Are Scored Early in the ses- sion But Later the Gains Are
 Lost-Bond Market Is Still
 Without Life.

New York, December 1.-The stock market today was still characterized by the wide movements in stocks not usual Iy prominent in the dealings.
 The sudden awakening into activity bf these advancing prices was accom- panied in some cases by "deal' rumors and in other cases had no other ap- parent cause than the purpose of mar lket packers to adjust the price level to conform to earlier movements at other points in the list.
 Many of these movements carried with them suggestion of window dressing purposes in preparation for the holiday period of the year when current market quotations appear in balance sheets of annual reports marking the valuation | of investments.
 Here and there were slight signs of Ireinvestment demand in anticipation of the profits to be available for use after | the first of the year.
 In the bond market where such de- mand is usually most marked 1t has made no perceptible impression at all and the demand for bonds continues in- ert up to this time.
 Such signs of investment buying as were seen today were In some of the high grade railroad stocks. The specu- lative movement today was halting 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 respect That stock, after early displaying strength, sold off on reports that the meeting of directors to act on the dividend would be held tomorrow. The rumors persisted of an intended increase at that time while the speculation was less impressed with so imminent a prospect than with the similar rumors of a projected ln- crease in the Southern Pacific dividend to be acted on in January.
 Attention was attracted by report that the United States Steel corporation would assign preferred stock for sub scription rights to employees this year in pursuance of the protit-sharing plan instead of common stock, for which the employees were allowed to subscribe at 60 last January with satisfactory re- suits in the years movement Of the stock.
 The Inauguration of common stock as- signments at that time instead of pre- ferred stock had the effect of creating an impression of recommendation or the investment in official form.
 There is a feeling in stock market CIT cles that the pendency of the Amer ican Tobacco company case decision by the supreme court at Washington will

SLUMP IN
 WHEAT MARKET After Prices Make New High Records Iecline Occurs CLOSE ALMOST AT LOWEST General Liquidation Is Felt in Corn Pit and the Market Closes at a
 Loss-Oats and Provisions
 Also Close Weak.
CLOSE ALMOST AT LOWEST

Chicago, December 14.-Severe slumps due to general liquidation marked trad Ing in the grain and provisions pit to- day. The break in wheat followed a fresh advance to new high marks for the crop when the December delivery sold at s1.141h and May at s1 .12h per bushel.
 Closing quotations were almost at the lowest point of the day.
 The wheat market was weak all day with the exception of a short period at the start, when urgent buying by shorts forced prices from 1s to II to 17s cents above the previous close
 The opening bulge brought out large quantities of selling orders, many of which were from influential sources.
 Improved weather conditions for the movement of grain in this country, and talk of a materia Increase of receipts at all primary points within few days, together with a slackening in demand for the cash grain were factors that con- tributed to the weakness. During the day the December delivery sold between s1.12A and sl.141a. May ranged between s1. .10as41.12A.
 Late in the session the December op- tion displayed some recuperative power and advanced nearly cent from the bot tom, but the future deliveries failed to rally.
 The close was heavy with prices ssc to 1kc higher to %c to Bc lower, final figures on December being at $1.1S, and on May at $1 10ss@1 .101k.
 General liquidation was the order of the day in the corn pit and as a result the market was weak throughout the en- tire session. The selling was based on extremely heavy deliveries in December contracts and on the prospect of further liberal deliveries today.
 The market closed weak with prices down Xc to Pc with December at 621sc and May at 66Ac.
 Oats were inclined to be weak owing to profit taking brought out chiefly by the break in wheat and corn.
 There was considerable selling by northwestern interests. Prices at the close were ssc to 1c to 11sc lower than the previous close.
 Provisions were weak owing to selling inspired by increased receipts of live hogs throughout the west. Total arrivals today were almost equal to those of the corresponding day year ago. Prices at the close were 5c to 371kc lower.
 Leading futures ranged as follows.

prove a drug on speculative enthusiasm. The continuation of the arguments in the case from yesterday to January gave occasion for a comment of this kind which implied the high importance at tached to this case by the government authorities in its bearing on the whole scope of the Sherman antitrust law.
 Preparation for enforcing the corpor- ation, tax and the incidental publicity in volved in the process are causes of dis quiet to corporations. Adroit use is be- ing made in the speculation of the vary ing rumors of the merger of the so- called Guggenheinl copper properties of which official details were lacking to- day.
 Interest rates for 60 days and six months loans were lowered today with increased offerings and lessened demand.
 Call loans again touched per cent, although heavy disbursements for to- morrow including the Standard oil div idend did not seem to affect the mar ket.
 Foreign exchange rates were higher again and gold was engaged for ship ment to South America. Remittances to London are in progress for payment of interest and dividends to foreign hold CTS of American securities.
