STOCK OFFERINGS
EXTREMELY LIGHT
Omission of Railroad Situation
From Presidents Message a
Distinct Disappointment
SHORTS ON THE RUN

Stock sples TODAY on the New York
avchange. rs compiIsd by the Evening
sun. tOtaled SAG, 800 shares.
New York. Dec. 2.-Thc New York
Evening Suns financial review today
says:
Although the Presidents message to
Congress touched on most of the topics
which arc now agitating the minds
of the financial community and the
country at large, it did not refer. ex
cept to postpone, two subjects which.
more than most others, concern Wall
street.-the railroad and treaty legisla
ton. The omission was a distinct dis
appointment.
Through the forenoon trading marked
time as prices advanced slowly but
steadily some one to three points or
more on q general level. and much more
than that among issues which are cata-
logued as highly speculative character.
At noon as the message began coming
over the wires business was largely
suspended while the process of digestins
its contents was going on. After that
prices displayed tendency to ease, but
throughout the session it was noticeable
that offerings of long stock were light.
The railroad list was more backward
IN getting a start, but they, too, made
an excellent display of strength on the
hope that the President would have
something constructive to say about
impending return and recommendations
for legislation. When this hope was
not realized they began to sag and
.ost good part of their gains in
short time.
The executives exposition of the
labor situation, associated with the
assembling of the second industrial
conference today in Washington, was
Of wide interest, but perhaps the most
interesting item in the message was
the Presidents representation of the
necessity for an immediate simplfica-
tion of the income and excess profits
taxes.
This is subject very close to the
street and of the most far reaching in
luence in the nations industrial and
economic life, bearing as it does so di-
rectly on domestic and foreign fin
ancing projects.
Aside from the presidential commu-
nication to Congress, the days news
developments were numerous and i'm
0Ortant. For one thing it appears from
Washington dispatches that the legisla-
tive body will at once consider the re-
peal of all war legislation.
The death of Mr., Frick was scarcely
a factor in market operations on steel
or otherwise, except sentimentally. \
'urther slump in the leading foreign
exchanges was disturbing to some ex-
tent Sterling sight drafts dropped
nearly to $3.95-by far the lowest level
ever touched.
Price movements were mixed and un-
settled through the middle of the after
noon, but in the last hour the list
steadied and showed barely consis
tent trend forward

GENERAL IMPROVEMENT OF
PRICES FOR LOCAL STOCKS
Electric Storage Battery Led With Cain of $4-Increase
Noted in the Odd-Lot Buyine

Electric Storage Battery was the
outstanding feature of strength and in =
terest of today's local market. Accom-
panying the further advance of S4 in
the stock Of 1421a, which represented
recovery of $40 from the low price
made in last weeks sweeping reaction
airy movement, there were persistent ru-
mors of further increase in the divi-
dend rate. Tho story freely circulated
on the street was that in addition to the
regular quarterly rate of per cent,
the directors at their meeting tomorrow
would also declare nm extra dividend of
2 per cent. There was, of course, no
means of confirmation, but it is under
stood such distribution could be easily
made from the largely increasing earn
ings.
While the movement was independent
of the general list it nevertheless had
influence. Price changes
elsewhere as rule were slight, but
generally represented small gains.
Trading although in small volume,
was much better distributed, with no.
ticeable increase of odd lot transac-
tions, indicating the So called bargain
hunters were being attracted by the
low level of stock values. Such pur-
chases were again conspicuous in
United Gas Improvement, which after
opening at 53as was elevated to 53M.

New York, Dec. 2.-The President s
message was a keen disappointment to
Wall street. The two subjccts--the
peace treaty and the railroad situation
were both still left in an uncertain
state. The document. however, was
/ not much of a market factor. The
days market. much the same as in the
| preceding sessions. was practically Il
| tumble of advances and declines, fur
thcr emphasizing the ultra professional
calibcr of the current operations.
Altogether, however, despite the un-
certain surface aspect, the tone of tho
general market was somewhat better.
While the course of prices was irreg
ular, the least resistance apparently
was encountered on the rallies This
evidently was because of the growing
uncasineSs on the part of the un-
wicldv short interest, as result of the
widening resistance of the market. not
only to the seemingly adverse devel-
opments. but also to the tactics of the
bear contingent.
There was moderate pressure at the
opening and receSsons among the more
speculative shares extended from frac-
ions to two points. These declines
were not followed up by any great
amount n selling neither ana the initial
declines bring ont much long stock.
\ quick reversal in position by SOME of
the more active traders brought Il gen
gral recovery and carried many of the
more active issues above last nights
closing level
The character of the market. how
ever. strongly suggested the familiar
iockcying of the professionals pending
the publication Of the Presidents mes
sage In the meantime the lesser
shorts covered freely in both the oil
and motor groups. The position of the
oil issues was materially strengthened

New York, Dec. 2.-There was an ir
regular movement today to the active

SCARCITY OF OFFERS
FEATURE IN CORN PIT
Commission House Buying
Sends Prices to New High
on Present Bulge

Chicago. Dec. 2.-New high prices on
the present bulge were made in the corn
market today on continued buying by
commission houses.
Meagerness of offerings was the out
standing feature. Covering by shorts
was general and there was a good
sprinkling of new purchasing, induced
by fears of further shrinkuge in re-
ceipts. because of the shortage of coal
and the holding attitude of farmers. An
nouncement Of shutting down of indus
tries was offset by the curtailment of
transportation facilities.
The size and quality of this years
crop appear to count for little, owing to
the difficulties of distribution. Stocks
at all terminal points are light. Set
backs in hogs and fresh weakness in
foreign exchange had only q passing eff
feet.
Moderate rains have fallen over a
wide area in Argentina and should help
the crop there.
Oats again showed independent
strength and quickly advanced to a
premium over last nights privilege
price on buying by cash houses and
outside interests. Shorts covered Pur-
chasers were handicapped by the light
ness of offerings in the pit.
Among the influences were small ten
ders from the country, disappointing re-
ceipts and recent sales for export, to-
gether with indications that the move
ment would be cut down further because
of the shortage of coal.

by the governments determined atti-
tude in the Mexican situation.
1t was the strength of the railroad
shares and the further easing of the
call loan rate to g per cent that gave
backbone to the market throughout the
morning operations. Advances of |
to 3 points were scored by the Pacific
grangers and coalers, which was largely
Influenced by the reports that the PreSi-
dents message would include matters
favorable to the railroad situation.
These advances. as we'll as most of the
gains in other parts of the list, were
made at the expense of the short inter
est. The buying demand otherwise re-
mained exceedingly limited. which was
to be altogether expected in view OF the
continued ndvices of caution being sent
out by the leading commission houses
and the general appreciation OF the
fact that the embargo placed upon spec
ulative activity by the banking interests
and Federal Reserve Board was still
very much in force.
Significance of the recovery move
mcnt was greatly bclittled by reason OF
the steady diminishing dealings aud
of the market as prices at
tanned the higher levels. BY midday
the trading became dull. which was
due to the general disposition to mark
time until after the reading of Presi-
dent Wilson's message.
The first reading of the President S
message was disappointing, inasmuch
us the peace treaty and the railroad sit
Iation arc both left in an uncertain
state. The trading, however, during
the greater part of the afternoon was
istess. with a gradual disappearance
If most Of the morning gains.
Some Of the railroad and telephone
aud telegraph shares became heavy later
but elsewhere the effect of the second
reaction was largely overcome.

Philadelphia Electric was well taken
at 24A Philadelphia Traction at 81
and American Stores at AN.
Lake Superior Corporation appar
emily had better support and was held
at 20H. Small transactions were
made in Insurance Company of America
at 30, and in Pennsylvania Salt at
WA. Northern Central changed hands
at 1O1a. the same price as the previous
sale. General Asphalt common in the
second hour advanced SO to 100. The
preferred, on the other hand, on a sale
OF ten shares, dropped $40 to 175.
The news of the death, of Henry @.
Frick was received with regret in local
financial circles. Mr.. Frick was iden-
titled with a number of what may be
called Philadelphia enterprises. He
was supposed to have been one of the
largest shareholders of the Reading Co.,
and some years ago was also known to
have large holdings of Pennsylvania
Railroad, but is understood to have
disposed of the greater part Of this
stock. He was frequent visitor In
many of the local banking institutions.
His death. it is believed, will have no
effect upon the market. The affairs
of prominent men in later years have
been so arranged as to cause little dis
turbance in the security markets in
event of their death.
