BONDS ARE Wanted,
WITH VALUES STRONG
By I. A. FLEMING.

Business was again moderately active
on the local stock exchange, Win
bonds in high favor.
Local investors have been receiving
large distributions every month in pay
meat Of interest and dividend accounts
and have been doing but little rein
resting. Perhaps some have been turn
ing their attention to Wall street and
have now decided that local bargains
are better, while many have finally
made up their minds to reinvest their
funds rather than keep them idle in
banks
The banks are still large buyers Of
bonds, but not of CAPITAL Traction SIS.
which give too small return at the
present price, and which are consider
ed the equal for security Of any local
bond; indeed, they usually sell higher
than any other local issue.

afternoon at l0S. Norfolk and Wash

The feature OF the session in the

LONDON NOT VERY CHEERFUL.
Standards Are Overshadowed by
Treasury Bills and French Loan.

LONDON. December 14.-Money was
in good supply and discount rates were
dull today. American exchange start
ed weak. but closed arm at 4.72x for
cable transfers.
The stock market was not particu-
larly cheerful. owing to the war out
look, while standard securities were
rather oyershadowed by the superior
.ttractions Of treasury bills and the
French loan.
The governments scheme for, the
mobilization of American securities
was much discussed in the American,
section. which fears that the plan will
cause a further depletion OF business.
several sales Of American and Cana
dian gold bonds were recorded. but
decIined. Rubber shares were in good
demand, while the rest Of the market
was lifeless and uncertain.

FALL IN WORLDS STOCK
CAUSES WHEAT UPTURN
Lower Prices at Liverpool Have Only
Transient Effect in the Chi
cago Market.

CHICAGO, December 14.-Wheat
made decided advance in value today,
owing largely to a decrease in tho
worlds available stock. Furthermore,
bull leaders took the position that un-
certainty as to the amount Of wheat in
Buffalo or afioat there made no differ
ence. as the bulk of the total was
doubtless already sold for export.
Lower prices at Liverpool had only
transient effect here
Inc opening, which ranged from Y a
V off to y up. with December at 1.15h
to 1.15A and May at 1.1eH to III. was
followed by sharp upturns all around.
Corn Advances With Wheat.
Corn rose with wheat. At first, how
ever. the market was easy as a result
of clear cold weather favorable for
husking and shipping. After opening
to y lower and undergoing slight
further dip. prices advanced all around
well above yesterdays finish.
Oats were governed chiefly by the ac-
tion OF corn. Trade was in the main
OF local character, especially the SELL
ing.
Higher prices on hogs brought about
an upturn in provisions. The receipts
at the yards here were much less plen-
tiful than expected. Commission
houses did some of the buying Of pro-
vision futures, but the greater part Of
the demand came from shorts.
Subsequent reports OF flour sales to
Scandinavia led to additional gains for
wheat. 1t was said also that in the north
west the wheat movement from first
hands had fallen off, and that in the east
liberal sales OF wheat and flour had been
made to France and Italy. Profit taking
here by longs. however, caused a set
back in the session. The close was heavy
at "a to 1h net advance. with December
at 1.16A and May at 1.17k a1.17T.
Bulls made some capital Of the fact that.
despite predictions Of larger receipts. the
available corn supply was yet only about
half as large as year ago. Prices re-
ceded, though, when wheat turned down
grade. The close was nervous at the same
as Yesterdays finish to n lower
