LtnIIIuln VALLti ADVANCE CONTINUES This With Gould Issues Att tract Most Attention in
 Stock Market

New York, December 2e-The Gould issues and Lehigh Valley attracted most attention today in the stock market. Ine advance in Lehigh Valley, which mas pesn conspicuous recently, was continued Mose of the buying of this stock was saiu 'o come from Philadelphia sources, ana ap- parently was based upon the pehel 'na' some action may soon be taken III resaro to the extra distribution to shafenoiuers' inc possibility of which has excited some conjecture of late. The quotatlon was advanced 3 points to 1S6s4, the nlshese price on record. although pront takins later reduced this gain. Among the Gould securities trading was especially heavy in inc Wabash 4 per cent bonds. A keen demand for these bonds developed late in the day, and they rose nearly points to h5h as compared with 50 earlier in the week on announcement of the receiver ship. The preferred stock also advanced strongly. Denver and Rio Grande secur,-. ties showed pronounced weakness early in the day. but later rallied sharply. on the recovery the per cent bonds jumped from 80 to S5.
 The stock market as a whole showed the
 
 customary symptoms of this season scare. Trading was on small scale and prices moved within an unusually narrow range. Final changes were inconsequental III most cases. Speculative sentiment was mildly bearish. Some of the copper shares declined moderately after their recent ad- vances, and American Woolen showed weakness which perhaps reflected the rec ommendation of President Taft to Com sress for reduction on wool and woolens. The Rock Island issues showed the effect of some pressure Great Northern ore was one of the few issues of strength in the list. The certificate rose nearly 2 points.
 The day was without occurrence of in- fuence upon values. Trade reports dis closed little change.
 In the money market there were no ih- dications of stress such as prevailed abroad. Little was heard today of further hids from Berlin for funds. The banks this week received more than $11,O00,0OO from the interior, about s6,000,O00 less than last week. when the movement was the heaviest which has been recorded in many weeks Estimates of the bank statement indicated a gain. the amount being placed variously from 5000, 900 to $9,0O0,o00. Bank exchanges over the country for the week again made favorable comparison with last year, the gain exceeding per cent.
 The bond market was irregular with large portion of the transactions in the Wabash fours. Total sales, par value, s, GOO
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

GRAIN EXCHANGES
 WILL CLOSE TODAY
Both the Long and Shorts Busy Themselves Getting
 Clear of Wheat

Chicago, December 22-Both long and clear of wheat. All American grain ex- changes will be closed tomorrow and Mon day, and there was a general desire to be free of commitments and avoid the effects of any surprise which might be sprung in foreign markets. Long end of the even up process left wheat varying from a shade lower to 1zc higher than last Oats unchanged to a4c off and hog prod ucts either unchanged or a decline of 5c.
 Argentine weather helped to relieve both sides of the wheat market though at diff ferent times Early in the session prices were strengthened by reports of showers in the South American harvest fields. Sub sequently word came of clear skies and more favorable temperatures and caused weakness, which gave way when the majority of dealers had ar ranged their business in shipshape fash ion for the holidays. World shipments promised to be nearly 2,4O0,O00 bushels less than a year ago, but this fact was offset by signs of, another increase of the United States visible supply. The Minneapolis stock especially looked large at nearly r, ,000,000 bushels. Between the opening and closing May ranged from 9Sc to 9SAc, with last sales at 9Sasc, a net loss of a shade.
 In the corn crowd little show of firm ness, due to small receipts, afforded a change for longs to unload to advantage. Shorts covered, however on the ensuing decline, and brought about a steady feel ing at the close. May fiuctuated from 6S7sc@64c to 641ac, finishing 1s@Ac down at 641sc. Cash grades were easier No. 2 yellow was not quoted.
 Selling out of a large line held by a local speculator weakened oats. Afterward, however the market hardened as result of scattered buying on the part Of com mission houses. Upper and lower levels touched by May were 477sc and 4sssc, with the close 1-16c net lower at 47ssG47Ac.
 An attempt to advance packing products brought out rather free offerings and made values react. Hog receipts west, it was shown, were larger than year ago. In the end prices on the blaclSboards to- night stood at last nights level, but were sagging, but not exceeding In any case as much as a nickel.

New Orleans, December 2.-Cotton 1u- lures opened steady at a decline of to 12 points on lower prices than expected in Liverpool. Longs sold out freely, the weaker element showing a desire to liqui- date over the triple holidays. which be- gin tomorrow After the call the market was somewhat steadier, as scalpers on the short side accepted their profits.
 There was no news regarding Lanca- shire labor troubles to encourage fresh short sales At the end of the first half hour of business the active months were trading at a net loss of to ' points.
 The list was dull and soft all the morn ing Bulls offered no support and mod crate offerings were sufficient to hold prices down.
 Bears were not aggressive, although scalpers were inclined to take the short side Toward midday the market wore a pronounced holiday look
 Cables from Liverpool said that it was rumored there that the weavers had de- cided on lockout Wednesday.
 This stimulated bearish sentiment. At midday prices were to 9 points down.
 In the late session the list was dull. At 30 minutes before the. close prices were [ to points under yesterday.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York December 22.-tSpecial.) )- Under the influence of the lockout in Lancashire. as the result of a labor union dispute the Liverpool market was un- expectedly weak. and our market has followed their decline. Such a setback has naturally increased the belief that after the New Year the cotton in the south will be pressed upon the market for sale On the decline the American spinners have appeared as moderate buy CTS, and we expect their buying will from now on become feature of the sit uation.
 Many who are affected by the foreign advices have been free sellers today. but we do not believe that the question in dispute Is so acute that it cannot be ad- justed in short time
