o1.oR1Na STOCK LETTER.

CBy private wine to A. f. Masten & co..
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The stock mar
ket was very irregular today. The pro-
fessionals who are bearish were alert
to take advantage Of any lack of support
and did net hesitate 10 extend their
short lines selling rails. stccls and al
most anything. On the other hand this
selling did not induce any great amount
Of liquidation. and there was investment
buying OF the breaks. The undcrtonc
of the market was not weak. The mar
ket was inclined to wait on the prcs!-
dont's message due at noon tomorrow
and the coal strike situation showed no
Improvement Tho fact that It was
made plain that congress is going right
to work to pass a bill that will clear
up the railroad situation was very en-
couraging development. Rails arc 60
ing to receive more attention in the
immediate future. 1t seems, than they
have for a lonp time past.
