WALL. STREETS
TRADING DULL

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The
course of today's stock market
was governed largely by the
meetings of the Lehigh Valley and
Reading directors. In the case of
the former much surprise was
was made in the early afternoon
that common shares had been
placed on a 10 per cent basis
The news was followed by an ad-
vance in the stock to 1907, a full
point below its high price of the
previous day. This was followed
by profit taking in Lehigh Valley
and other stocks, and the entire
list reacted and relapSed into It's
dullness of the early session:
The market was mainly irreg-
ular. Business was in lighter vol
ume than on the two preceding
days, and while the demand for
bonds was again broad, these Is
sues showed less strength. numer-
Gus recessions from the high
prices of yesterday being re-
In addition to the increased
dividend of Lehigh Valley other
dividend increases were an
nounced by several industrial and
financial corporations. Regular
dividends were declared by num-
Der of the Vanderbilt lines.
Final transactions were gen
orally below the best of the day,
and the tone at the close was un-
settled
The market for foreign ex-
change was weaker and local
money conditions Were easier. On
the present showing of the
weekly money movement the local
banks and institutions are likely
to make a further increase in
their cash holdings. London's
light, and the demand for Amer
leans in the London market was
almost negligible. The outflow of
gold from the Bank of England
was continued today. 100000
being withdrawn for England.
Gross sales of bonds (par
United states government bonds
were unchanged.
NEW YORK. Dec. BE. F.
Hutton & Co.'S wire says: What
activity occurred in today's stock
market was centered entirely in
the hard cOalers. Lehigh Valley
and Reading Such stocks as
Union Pacific, Steel and minor
specialties fiuctuated within mar
row limits following the trend of
the coalers. The increased Le-
high disbursement to a fat 10
per cent basis was practically dis
counted, hence there was no wide
market here. The regular divi-
dend of per cent on Reading
before the close was without
feature in the closing of this Sc
curity. A somewhat better clos
ing in the general market was
looked for by certain interests,
but it is believed that the threat
ening situation of western en-
gineers was a marked menace in
holding back further advances"
