LONDON MARKET.

LONDON, December Mooney was
more plentiful and discount rates were
easy today. The stock market did not
benefit by the signing of the armistice.
as the split in the Balkan league and
its possible effect caused further hesita-
ton and a slight sagging in continental
favorites and speculative issues. Con-
soils were steady on purchases for the
sinking fund and home rails on favorable
trade reports.
American securities were quiet and
featureless during the forenoon. Later
New York bid up Southern Pacific, but
offered the rest Of the list and the mar
ket declined and closed easy.

Small Payment Toward Liquidating

Disappointing.

NEW YORK. December 4.-Trading in
stocks was active at the opening Of the
market today and price changes were ir-
regular. Southern Pacific was in demand
and rose ia on the first few transactions
Union Pacific showed some heaviness at
the outset. but quickly made UP It's loss.
Changes elsewhere were small with a
majority of declines. Mexican Petroleum
and California Petroleum developed ex-
ceptional strength with gains Of a point
each.
The market turned definitely upward for
a short time with Reading leading the ad-
vance. American can rose to 377s, but
broke violently to 343s on the preferred

Opinion as to the probable status of
Southern Pacific in the dissolution Of the
Hartman system seemed to have
changed over night, and a rather eager

Elsewhere the movement was fractional
and irregular for a time, but hesitation
gradually gave way to an upward move
ment.
The improvement was checked when the
market encountered the flood of liquida-
tion and short selling Of American Can.

The pressure has fallen in practically
all districts between the Appalachian ana
the Rocky mountains. and disturbance
of marked intensity is central over the
Dakotas. and secondary disturbances are
central north Of the great lakes and on
the west gulf coast. These disturbances
have caused rains in the gulf states, the
interior of the south Atlantic states, the
upper lake region and the north Pacific
states, and SHOWS in the far northwest.
Temperatures are considerably higher
in the great central valleys and the lake
region and are lower in the far north

The indications are that the weather
will be unsettled with rains during the
next thirty-six hours over practically all
districts east Of the Mississippi river.
Temperatures will not change decidedly
in the eastern and southern states, but

lake region.
The winds along the New England
coast will be moderate south: on the
