 the Railroads

New York, December 2S.-Incerasing recognition of the advantages accruing to rails from government control espe- cial1y low prices and reorganized roads, doubtless impelled the sweeping demand at materially higher levels for that class of stocks in today's broad and active market.
 This feeling was encouraged by the declaration of initial dividends on the new and per cent preferred shares or the Rock Island road.
 In Keeping with the theory of govern mental guarantees was the point rise in New Haven. A $45,0O0,000 note oblisa- ton of that company natures next May and it is assumed that Washington Will take on that burden. Evidently the same line of reasoning applied to various utilities, gains of 31aQ5A points in that group resulting from buying based on the belief of a maintenance of dividends.
 Investment rails retained practically all of yesterdays substantial gains where they were not supplemented by further advances of to points, nota- bly in Pacifics, grangers and some of the coalers.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'s Letter

New York; December 2S.-(SpecaL) The mafket today was quiet, recovering from yesterdays decline to again lose the greater part of the answer to the more favorable advices from Liverpool, adyices from Russia regarding peace led to the thought as to whether Japan, who has been supplying Russia for the past three years with large quantities of goods and ammunition of war would now need as much cotton if the Russians made peace. The western brokers have again been buyers with the south sending hedging orders against cotton they wish to sell and cannot move owing to close or run on short time through inability to obtain cotton bought and paid for earlier in the season.

STORMS AND COLD | HOLD UP GRAINS
Exporters in Market for Oats-Hogs Go Down
 Sharply in Value
By BRIGGS

Chicago, December 2s.-Storms and cold which threatened to hinder seriously any improvement in traffic condition on the railroads, led today to an upturn in prices of corn. The market closed firm, 1s@Ac to ssd1zc net higher. with Janu- ary $1261kdf. .2sss, and May s1.25 Oats gained H@1A. There were losses of 20 to 75 cents in provisions.
 It was not until after midday that bull ish sentiment predominated regarding corn. Weakness earlier was largely due to notice that the directors of the ex- change had prohibited further trading in the December option. and had fixed 8 settling price. As such action re- moved pressing necessity for immediate supplies the market was eased to a notable extent. Later the attention of dealers focused on the outlook for pro- tracted unfavorable weather and the like hhood that the crop movement would be kept down to small proportions.
 Buying on the part of export houses seemed to be chiefly responsible for the strength of oats. Liquidation of Decem- Der holding weakened the market at first. but the effect failed to last.
 Sharp breaks in the value of hogs ear ried down provisions The hog ma1ixet here was oyerburdened with arrivals and there were predictions of heavy keceipts throughout January.

Dun's Review

New York, December 2S-Dun's tomor- row will say:
 What has been in many respects the most eventful year of economic history neared it's closing with the announce ment of government control of the coun- try's transportation systems, causing a striking recovery in prices of securities but with recognition that not all of the readjustments arising from war condi- ticns have yet been witnessed. With the business outlook still obscure and likely to remain uncertain there is no abate- ment of the disposition to operate ahead with caution and the customary policy of deferring important engagements un- til after the year-end now appears in many quarters. But what has stood out prominently through recent months of unprecedented changes has been the ab- sence of conspicuous loss of confidence and of any general movement toward cancellation of existing contracts The fact is that while some unsettlement has necessarily been experienced in trade and industry and though there has been not little hesitation in most direc- tions faith in the future has not ap- preciably diminished and not only have many new concerns started, but the years insolvency returns make the best numerical exhibit since 1911.
