TRADING IRREGULAR IN STOCK EXCHANGE Foreign Relations and Ex- ternaI Conditions Send
 Market Down

New York, December S.-Foreign rela-
 ions and other external conditions again accounted in part for today's irregular and occasionally heavy market, which also was affected by the dropping tenden- ,es manifested on the commodity eX- changes, notably cotton and grains. Money conditions were easier, if any thing, than any day thus far this week, rall loans holding over till next Monday being freely made at per cent.
 Estimates of the weeks local money movement varied widely, but a. partial, probably substantial rectification of the adverse conditions of the past five weeks Is probable. Another large consignment Iof gold was received from Canada, max ling total of more than $50,oo000 from fthat quarter in the last few days. Stock trading was attended by frequent Intervals of lassitude, but the total turn lover again approximated 1WO,0Oo shares. There was much less activity in united SStates Steel and the low priced rails, the movement shifting to high grade or divi- sdend paying issues, which made tempor- ary gains of 1 to points.
 { Shipping shares were more conspicu" Ious and stronger than at any recent time, \ with Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies at lthe new maximum of 147% on it's ad- lvance of 11% points. Mercantile Ma lrines United Fruit and Pacific mail also were better by ? to points.
 Munitions and equipments of the fa- imiliar variety were alternately higher and lower with more stability in the later dealings, especially in American and Baldwin Locomotives and Bethlehem Steel, the latter at an extreme advance of 39 points, Pool activity was reflected in the strength of Ajax Rubber and some of the sugars, the former gaining 61z points, with ' for Cuban-American sugar. Coppers were under constant restraint, Chile falling IF, with another decline of 1 points in the bonds and heayiness in Utah and Anaconda.
 Irregular rallies in the specialties marked the close.
 Concessions in international bonds in- cluded a new low record for Paris 6's. Total sales of bonds, par value amounted to s4, 4,225,oO
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

E.F. Hutton & Co.'S Stock Letter

Furnished by c. F. Avery's private wire)
 New York, December s.-It is evident from the rally in Baldwin and American Locomotive that there has been an ac- emulation of quite a short interest in the war stocks. The rumor this after noon that another passenger ship had been torpedoed brought another selling wave. There was some liquidation in the coppers, noticeably so in Chile. Money conditions are slightly easier, but the discrimination against industrial stocks still holds. The new railroads which were the most active yesterday and the day before, have settled down and for the moment are neglected. We think they will come to the front later on. There is g. suspicion in the street that December is not a good month to bull stocks, and that is perhaps one reason why the mar ket is so cratic. It has become very two-sided. There is a large faction which is extremely bearish. The public in gen. eral and especially the west are very optimistic and do not seem inclined to sell out on weak spots. If the market continues to act as 1t does. we are likely later on if money gets distinctly easier to have a resumption of the upward movements

CONSTANCY
BY Gertrude Weber.

Last night, as I gazed from out my
easement high
Upon the snlendor of a summer
night.
| saw the beauty of the star-lit sky.
And marvelled at the grandeur of
the sight.
One golden star stood ont rom all
the rest
In that great field of blue,
And that out-shone it's comrades in
the sky
With radiance clear and true.
But as I watched, an ugly cloud
appeared
To shut from view its calm aad
steady beam:
It wavered not but shone with all it,
strength
The cloud sped on, agatu l saw the
gleami
And thus l watched IL triumph Ger
the dark,
Emerge, still shining forth
To show to mortals watching down
below
Its truly priceless worth
May we be like to that unfailing star.
May we be strong and firm In that
great life
Which now has just begun for u.s.
And may
We e'er shine on like stars through
peace and strife.
And if dark clouds OF sorrow should
appear
To shut us from the light,
May we come forth as that calm star
has done,
Still shining clear and bright.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-06-07
