There was another big market for the
local stocks today, although the market
did not measure quite up TO the stand e
ard established yesterday. The tone,
however, continued distinctly strong,
and generally higher range of prices
was registered.

There was little short of an urgent
demand for the stock in the early trad =

90. Including the 81 quarterly divi e
dend, which was taken off today, this
was a net advance of 32s over yester
days final sale, and $3.50 from the
low water mark of Monday. There
was also continued good demand for
Pennsylvania Railroad, but with little
change in price.

the sharp advances of $S and S15 in

NEWS OF FINANCIAL WORLD PHILADELPHIA STOCK O.
STOCKS MOVE UP AGAIN
DESPITE MONEY CRISIS
Heavy Volume Of Cash Sales Establish Losses in the Year.
Income account

New York. Dec. 31.--The year closed
with distinctly strong stock market
today. Regardless Of further indica
tions Of tight money higher prices were
established all through the list, although
interest ran strongly to the industrial
division, Many Of the transactions
were on cash basis, evidently for the
purpose of adjusting yeare end income
account In order to have the tranSac-
tions put through before the new year
so that they can be made matter
OF record in 1919, all selling of stocks
on the last day of the year must be
for cash and immediate delivery. TO
sell the regular way" would carry the
transaction over into 1920. since de-
livery would not be made until Friday.
Such selling for cash in order TO cs-
tablish losses proceeded in heavy vol
ume throughout the morning, but with
out effect upon quoted values From the
very outset the trend was strongly up
ward and this was sustained during the
first hour. notwithstanding there was no
supply of call money in sight until long
after II o'clock The renewal rate was
again fixed at ~ per cent, the same as
yesterday, but was virtually ignored.
At the opening advances of I TO 3
points were made by the leading oils,
shippings. motor specialties and food
issues. American Wooden, the spec
tacular feature of recent sessions, added
almost D points to Yesterdays sub
stantial gain, which was later extended
to more than 16 points. The early
gains. however, were substantially ex-
tended in all parts of the industrial

made. Union Traction was 81 higher

ican Gas made similar gains at 73 and
90 Philadelphia Electric WIS firm at

touched 60. 4,
The market turned dull after mid
day, but apart from the 81 decline In
Y. G.. /. to "a, SO, drop in American
gas prices elsewhere were generally well
sustained
The publication of the bank clearings
for the month of December and for 1919
furnished much food for thought and
gave striking testimony Of the high
speed tension of the banking machinery
during the year just closing.
The total turnover of checks through
the clearing house for the month was.
50 ,202 1917 $50, while for the year the
grand total reached S22 ,094 ,5SS $50,
both breaking all records in the history
of local banking. The gain for the
month over last year was 1882 per
cent, while for the full twelve months
the gain over 1918 was 1916 per cent.
such figures speak louder than words
and are living proofs of tremendous
volume of business now being done
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land. They are real and reliable
barometers of trade.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York. Dec. 31.-Cables from
Brazil continue to be delayed. This
morning the cable of December 20 was
posted on the coffee exchange, showing
no change in the Rio and Santos spot
markets, with gains reported in San
tos futures of 30 to 200 reis.
Firm offers are coming through very
slowly and some are much higher.
In the local spot market business,
while not at all active, is beginning TO
show improvement. This tends to steady
values on the local exchange.
Around midday values were close to
initial levels, but much of the business
was in the way Of switching or evening

Chicago, Dec. 81 Profit taking and
liquidation, on the theory that the up
turn of the last few days had eliminated
the bulk of shorts and had discounted
much that was bullish in the situation
forced corn futures off today after the
market had gained further ground.
There was fairly general buying by
commission houses at the outset and
offerings, which were light for time,
increased on the rise as resting orders
were encountered. Commission houses
again purchased and bears did not ap
pear to be very aggressive.
The car situation was against the
movement and the European food
situation remained bad
Commission houses put considerable
quantities of oats into the pit, the bulk
of which was supposed to be in the way
of realizing. and unsettled the market
after it had been frmer. The buying
power was good and prices rallied from
the bottom.
No fresh export business was reported
in oats, but exporters took about $50, !
600 bushels of rye. ~
