COAL CASE ISSUE
STEADIES MARKET
Decision in Anthracite Contro-
versy a Factor During
New York Dealing
BANKS GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT
Total Sales of Bonds Reported in
Eastern Exchanges More
Than $841,OO0
BANKS GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-The stock
market was inclined to heaviness at the
opening today, but soon made recovery
and before the end of the first hour
many of the active issues were selling
at advances well above yesterday s
close.
The decision in the anthracite coal
case was probably the most potent
factor, although the weekly trade re-
views were rather favorable. Reading
and Lehigh Valley were most prom
inent in the upward movement with
marked strength in Union Pacific, st.
Paul, U. S. Steel and American Smelt-
ing.
The bank statement was more favor
able in it's actual condition than the
weeks movements indicated.
AS an offset to the average loan
increase of more than S5,000000, the
actual statement showed a loan con-
traction of over $14,000000, while the
cash under this same head was less by
half than most of the previous day s
estimates.
Total sales of bonds, par value, were
$S41, 900.

SON, member OF the Chicago board of trade,
New York stock exchange and San Francisco
bond and stock exchange, cl2 West Fifth
street, Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, Dec. 10-Argentine news had
much influence on todays wheat market
which again closed heavy and lower. Argen-
tine new crop cargoes in deferred positions
are pressing in European markets. The quail
ity of the new grain is fine. Buenos Ayres is
again weaker, because of the rapid progress
of harvest under fine weather conditions. quite
a number of anxious longs reduced their over
Sunday worries by unloading all or a portion
Of their holdings. The demand was poor. As
on yesterday, the resting orders at kc lower
than yesterdays orders were filled up and the
market kept on declining. Cables told of in
creasing offerings of new crop Australian
wheat in Europe and Australian spot in Liv-
erpool was Off hd Secretary Coburn of the
Kansas board of agriculture estimates the last
wheat crop about 200 bushels larger than
government at 6O,25O,0O0 bushels, and condi-
tion of growing crop 756, which 26 points
higher than the government December figures
There were cash sales here over night of so 900
bushels No. 2 red winter.
Corn made quite show Of strength early
on influential local buying, followed by COW
ering some of the pit shorts and investment
and speculative buying by others. The ad-
vance disclosed a large number OF resting or
ders to sell on a scale up, only small ror-
tion OF which could be executed The market
drifted back to shade above yesterday s
close the selling pressure being reduced on the
decline.
Oats showed more firmness than any other
grain on the floor, but nevertheless have not
retained early high marks. The shortage in
December to eastern shippers promises impor-
tant relief, the arrivals are liberal, premi-
ums for standards fading and is now
cheaper and better for shippers to supply
wants on track instead of from December de-
liveries from store.

said that it has opened wide the mar

Valuable concessions have come 10 US
from France, Germany, Italy, and even
from Canada, and many millions will be
added TO our trade when our manufac-
turers are in a position to take advan-
tage Of these provisions.
Just now the newspapers are agitated
over the subject Of print paper. We cut
the duty on this article 20 the very low
est point at which our factories could
compete with Canada-that Is, TO 1915 a
ton providing Canada still sells US pulp
wood with export charges or embargo.
If she refused we made the increased
duty still lower than the Dingley rate
We are criticised that we did not tx this
duty az s. ton. a duty which would
have closed up our paper mills, In the
vain hope that Canada might remove al
her embargoes on the export OF WOOD
pulp. Now she is extending her embargo
and with many OF ouE mills closed on ac
count OF the strike. there is a scarcity OF
paper. SEQ
