STOCKS ADVANCE
/ AFTER A DECL LINE!
American Telephone Re-
bounds and New Haven
Shows Improvement

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.--Most Of the
speculative stocks opened fractionally
higher today. but there was renewed
heaviness in some investment issues.
Pullman. Canadian Pacific, Pennsyl-
vania and General Electric were lower.
American Telephone rebounded
sharply from the low level reached
yesterday. gaining a point In the first
few transactions. New Haven rose 1-2
Bear operators soon had prices on
the down grade again. Gains of near
ly two points in American Telephone
broke Ia to the years lowest. Sup
porting orders forced a general rally,
In which Union Pacific New Haven
and New York Central rose / to l1-2
above yesterdays close
Resistance OF the market to the
outbreak Of liquidation in new quar-
ters pointed to a stronger technical
position and led eventually to q gem
eral advance. The early decline In
Illinois Central and other closely held
stocks influenced the general list only
slightly. and prices of many issues
mounted q point or more in short or
der.
Reports of better tone in the steel
market and the decrease In European
copper supplies furnished a basis for
bullish operations. but trading on the
long side was not active. New Haven
rose 6-8 and American Telephone
21-2. Bonds were firm
Prices reacted all around later.
New Haven lost It's gain and the Hill
shares turned heavy.
The market closed firm. After prices
had see-sawed In a hesitating fash
ion the market turned definitely up
ward Absence OF the recent disquiet-
ing liquidation facilitated the rise.

WHEAT MARKET
IN A DOWN TURN
Influenced by Bearish Figures
in the Government
Crop Report

CHICAGO. Dec. 16.-Bearfsh figures
In the government crop report made
the wheat market today take a DOWN
turn. The opening was u o to 40
down. but the ensuing rally overcame
good snare of the loss
Sngns OF continued heavy receipts
acted as an offset for the bullish in
fiuence of the government report as
to corn. Prices at the outset varied
from &c to as lower to u advance.
and later hardened some. but again
fell back.
Although oats sagged with other
grain, buying on the part Of shorts
gave the market subsequent lift.
First sales of provisions were un-
changed to. 21z G5c down. but offer
ings were light.
Assertions by crop expert that
tbs. government had overestimated the
yield at least 33.000,000 bushels tend
ed to check the bears. Closing prices
We're firm at rs to sc net decline.
Strength developed In corn later owing
to increased call from feeders. The
close was firm. E0 Kc to &c above
last night.

CHANGING ROCK ISLAND SERVICE

BY increasing car loading and re-
ducing Improbable passenger train
mileage, President III. u. Nudge of the
Rock Island hopes to make consider
able Improvement in the operations
of that road. President Nudge says:
We have made considerable re-
duction In mileage Of passenger trains
that do not pay, and If business con-
tinues as slack as it has been for the
last few months we shall be able to
make further reductions. In taking
off some trains we have run up
against some of the state railroad
commissions, especially In the south
west. But elsewhere we have been
able to make reductions along those
lines. Shippers are more and more
demanding quick delivery of freight,
and that operates against good car
loading. If we could dispense with
the demand for rapid movement, there
would be no trouble in increasing
loads. As 1t is, we have found in some
movements fractional carloads instead
of full carloads. This feature we are
going to make special effort to inn
prove.
Sentiment in the west seems more
promising for higher rates. CONNER
cial organizations are going on record
in favor Of higher wages to railroads
for moving freight; that is a different
attitude than was the case in the pre-
vious movement for better rates We
are hopeful some increase Will be
granted"

GRAIN QUOTATIONS
BRooMHALL,s GRAM CARL Es

Lif fERPOOL, Dec. 16.-Wheat mark et
opened unchanged with unfayorable harvesting
returns from Argentina, the sustaining infu-
| ence, and an expected liberal decrease In the
visible here. Following the opening there was
moderate realizing on the favorable American
government crop and cheaper Manitoba Offers
European crop advices are generally favorable
and crop conditions IN Australia continue ex-
cellent; Prices declined Y. but the decline
was checked by disturbing reports regarding
the Russian out-turn. At 1:3O D. M the mar
ket was dull, with prices u lower than yes
terday.
Corn opened u lower and later further de-
clined Y on the smaller inquiry for forward
shipment and the increasing American receipts
At 1:30 p. m. the prices were y lower than
yesterday.
The European visible supply Of wheat this
week decreased 1902. 900 bushels. and now
amounts to 77.1e0.oo0 bushels. Last year
there was a decrease of 4,200, 900 bushels,
when the total was 81 500 900.
Trade interests here and continental firm
ness believe that the recent official estimates
for the wheat yield are in great error and the
leading continental newspapers claim that the
official estimates for all crops show a discrep-
ancy OF 600. 100000 bushels. Details still
lacking.
France-Heavy rain is falling and crop ad-
vices are less favorable. Paris opened easier
on freer native offers and increasing stocks.
