MARKET A GIVE
AND TAKE AFFAIR
Railroad Stocks Hang Fire
Pending Presidents Promised
Message on That Situation
SENTIMENT WAS CHEERFUL

Stock sales today on the New York
exchange, as COMPLIED by the Evening
Sun, totaled eos 400 shares.
New York, Dec. l7.-The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
Under the inspiration Of further pro-
nounced betterment in the foreign ex-
changes and generally improved senti-
nent in the financial community, aided
BY continued relative ease in money
"ates, trading in today's stock market
had more frequent intervals of activity
On the bull side.
In the first hour there was consid-
cradle ginger in the transactions, but
the sparkle was intermittent after that,
and while a firm tone prevailed, net
price changes were slight except in es-
pecially favored quarters like the equip
ments, oils, tobaccos and feathers. The
steel group was but mildly strong at
hest and the motor and shipping issues
likewise.
The rails did very little either way.
It Paul was weak, while Atchison and
southern Pacific were fairly well
bought. As the end OF the year ap-
1rOacheS, nervousness ABOUT tne return
IF the roads has increased and repre-
sentations as to the necessity of reten-
ion of government control have null
-iplied. 1t is presumed that the ad-
ministration will heed the appeal, but
it is natural enough that the railroad
tocks should hang fire 30 long as the
Presidents promised message is with
leld and silence reigns on the subject.
Operations in the market represented
little more than professional give and
| take. Buying came from the shorts
and selling from foreign sources as well
as from those who sell to establish
| losses for taxes. But those who liqui-
date for the latter reason stand ready
! to buy back in most cases, 80 that, as
| happened today largely, commitments
are pretty well evened up.
| The Presidents refusal to accept re-
! ,ponsibility for the fate of the peace
| treaty has had the effect apparently OF
| tirring senators Of both parties to an
effort toward what may be done in the
| adjustment of differences, and develop
ments in that connection were watched
with interest.
With the CarranZa reply to the state
department, the jenkins matter seems
| 20 be as far from settlement as ever,
but Wall street appears to regard Mex =
leo and her periodical irruption into the
china shop of international rela-
tions as something to be endured with
equanimity.

EARLY ADVANCE IN STOCKS
WAS NOT FULLY SUSTAINED
Further Strength Of Foreign Exchange and ReIatiUe Ease Of
Money Contributed to Cheer Market Sentiment

New York, Dec. 1T.--Today's stock
market acted very much as II did yes
terday and the day before. II wanted
to do better, did do better, but was
working under certain amount of
restraint.
The, same factors which stimulated
yesterdays buying movement, recovery,
or whatever else one may wish to
designate it,. were again in effect, nota-
oly the further strength of foreign ex :
change, relative ease of money and
scarcity of stocks. British remittances
added materially to their recent recov e
cry, while call money was again freely
supplied at per cent. Supplementing
these encouraging factors on the con-
structive side of the market was the
favorable industrial news, including the
higher prices quoted for fuel oil and
prospective foreign buying of railroad
equipment.
Additional stimulating factors in the
way of expectancy were supplied in be-
lief of the early signing Of the Edge
bill by the President, and u reassuring
message from the Chief Executive con-
cerning the railroad situation. Rumor
had it that the President would sug-
gest postponement Of turning back the
railroads to their owners until April l &,
instead of January I, as had been
planned. With the deadlock in one Sen.
ate over the Cummins bill, no other
course was open. This delay will per-
nit a more intelligent deliberation Of
the railroad situation, and indirectly
can be counted a bullish point in favor
of the railroad stocks.
Because of the swollen short interest
little difficulty was experienced at the
outset to resume the belated recovery
movement which started in the late
trading yesterday. The demand for
stocks broadened during the morning.

TONE OFLOCAL MARKET
WAS GREATLY IMPROVED
LIqrdao of Leading Investment Shares Establish Losses
apparently Has Run Its Course

Ihe local market enjoyed a much bet
Ter tone.. Trading was broader and best
Of all prices were generally higher. Pos
slply the more encouraging development
was supplied In evidence OF the apparent
elimination of the liquidation Of the
Investment issues In order to establish
losses In making income tax returns.
From the outset the market began to
look up, but interest centered largely
In few selected specialties. As the
day progressed, however, there was an
appreciable broadening, and with il
followed general improvement In
prices. In number Of instances the
supply of stocks was scarce, which made
the advances sharp. This applied par
ticularly to Electric Storage Battery,
which made an early gain OF 81 .25.
which was not fully sustained. General
Asphalt common on limited transactions
jumped SO from the previous sale to III 4.
The more Significant rebound occurred
In Lehigh Navigation, which was car
ried up nearly SO to 81.
In the initial dealings there was fur
ther selling of Pennsylvania and United
Gas Improvement, the latter being
adversely affected by the announcement
OF the suspension Of dividends on the
common stock of the Public Service
Co.. Of which stock the United Gas
Improvement Co. is a large owner.

embracing active issues In the tobacco,
textile and chemical groups. In tho
meantime, gains In the motors, oils,
steel and equipments shares which held
first attention In the initial proceedings
were extended . to 10 points.
All the leading issues, however, were
in supply from various sources on these
advances and toward mid day a reaction
started on which a good part of the
early gains were wiped out. The In
creasing dullness following the recessions
reflected the entire absence OF liqui-
dating pressure outside of continued ad-
justments of over extended and i'm
paired pool accounts. In other words,
after getting back to the opening level
the general list displayed noteworthy
resistance, indicating the path of least
resistance was being met on the upward
swing. This theory was strongly con-
frmed in the much more cheerful senti-
ment which prevailed throughout the
street.
Apart from the fresh weakness of the
local public utilities the early afternoon
trading was without feature of interest.
Consolidated Gas declined sharply on
rumors affecting its dividend, and
Brooklyn Union Gas fell more than 3
points. The movement in the general
list became ragged. Equipments, leather
and low price motor shares made a
brief spurt. Other leaders, especially
the steel issues, recorded moderate re-
cessions on profit taking, emphasizing
the continued narrowness Of the current
speculation.
Oils. shippings and tobaccos domi-
mated the active final hour when the
money market followed yesterdays
course, call loans falling to 6 per cent.

As to Punctuation.

With all that may be said about
punctuation its use Is pretty well az
n.uch part and parcel Of the writer az
are the words Of the text. To one man
a comma is merely "a breathing" and
he puts one in where a reader would
seem to need to pause for breath ;
whereas to others comma is rather
a handy mark for setting of word
or clause that Is to degree some
what apart in form or sense from the
direct implication Of the sentence. All
Of which brings to mind the words Of
that very practical schoolmaster who
was the first to say to his class. The
best rule of all for punctuation IL 20
put In punctuation marks only where.
without them. the meaning would be
