Bull leaders kept the wires busy with advice
to buy wheat for rally. How much effect this
maneuver had was a question. but the market
showed an upward bent from the start. South
western houses in particular did great deal OF
purchasing, especially in the July option. The
northwest sold the May delivery here in consid-
cradle amounts. Scattered commission houses
formed another liberal source of supply, but the
bullish tendency of prices did not at any time
suffer material setback. An early help in
bringing about a bulge came from the lowering
of the worlds stocks. 1t principally, how
ever, from the drought in the winter crop belt
that the bears took fright. With such reports

STOCK MARKET
TONE IRREGULAR

NEW YORK. Dee. 20.-A broad
er and more general demand for
bonds was the most notable fea-
ture of today's operations in the
securities market. The stock mar
ket was only moderately active
and Its tone for the most part
irregular. 1t seems to be the pre-
vailing opinion, however, that the
financial situation has improved
in the last few weeks.
Trading on the stock exchange
was almost wholly professional
and centered around the more
active issues, including the Har-
rlman stocks ard the coalers
Union Pacific and Southern Pa
ciilc made further gains.
The movement in stocks in
cluded several of the more obscure
railway issues. but the industrial
specialties were almost entirely
neglected. Late in the session
drive against Reading unsettled
the entire list and caused a heavy
closing London was again mod
crate purchaser.
The west is said to have pur
chased moderately of bonds and
other high grade securities dur
ing recent days. A better feeling
prevails in that section because of
the easier monetary conditions.
There was a further drain on the
gold holdings of the Bank of Eng
land. which sent $3.50. 600 to the
continent and 100000 to South
America. further rise here in
foreign exchange practically pre-
cludes all possibility of gold i'm
ports for a time.
The Baltimore and Ohio report
for November showed a loss in net
earnings of S6S6,000 and a total
loss in net for the first five months
OF the fiscal year of S1,400, 600.

Pacific road was considered favor
able in that earnings in the capital
stock were about Id per cent
with a larger expansion of gross
and surplus applicable to divi-
dends, almost s1.70O,0 600 in excess
of the previous year.
Total sales of bonds, par value,
were $3,110.000.
United States bonds were un-
changed
NEW YORK, Dec. 2o.-E. F.
Hutton q Co.'S wire says:
"Today's market trend was quite
