EXCELLENT TONE
RESPONDS TO DAY
OF HOPEFUL NEWS
Trading Good in Wall Street
Lists Rails Lead,
Motors Second.
By e. WALTER NIocISIer

NEW YORK, Dec. 1l.-AnOther
day of good news had the proper
response in the stock market with
the tone excellent and demand good.
Trading exceeded 1000 900 shares
in volume and was again led by the
rails. Motors were fair, but the
reduction in the Chandler preferred
dividend basis, while generally ex-
pected, was a SOLDERING influence.
Increase Of some 100000 tons in
the untitled order report submitted
by the United States Steel Corpora
ton as of Nov 80, was highly en-
OF the steels, especially United States
Steel.
Demand for Rails
Demand for the rails were spread
out pretty well throughout the
entire list. The Northwesterns did
not follow through at the trade pace
set yesterday, but were still in good
shape. Atchison was a feature as
were many Of the big Eastern roads.
Oils, specialities and the coppers
were all in good shape, but lacked
outstanding features. The upward
movement in the coppers is attended
by a flood of tips on the leaders.
Usually it works out that stocks so
generally tipped are mighty close to
their tops. Considering the fact that
the copper metal market is not at
all encouraging, the status of the
copper stocks seems open to ques.
ton.
Further evidence Of excellent in.
vestment demand was offered in the
bond market which rose to heights
previously unattained since the end
Of the war. The high class invest
ment bonds are still feeling the
effects of the surplus of investment
funds and bear the oft-repeated
statement that the trend of good
yield bases is constantly lower.
Chandler Is Strong
Reduction Of the Chandler pre-
ferred dividend was accompanied by
an official statement made by Presi-
dent F. c. Chandler, who explained
the move as being due to the con-
servatism of the board. Right now.
according to Mr.. Chandler, the COM
pany, free from all bond indebted
ness or bank loans, is in the strong
est position of its history. Appar-
emily. directors preferred too con-
serve the present substantial capital
position for working capital rather
than distribute 1t to stockholders
now. The preferred dividend was,
reduced from 81 per year to $3.50
per year.

Week Reviewed.

Receipts and prices for hogs have
been comparatively steady during
the past week, in fact, this is true
of the last two weeks. A drop in
price since Monday represents the
maximum change during this period.
Indianapolis receipts are light for
December. In November they were
the lightest of any recent year. In
general all other hog markets have
shown similar decreases, only one
or two remaining steady or gaining
over 1925. In spite of indications of
the usual seasonal run, prices have
stayed about steady. AS a whole the
demand has been good, as is the
fresh meat trade. Exports of lard
and cured meat have improved.
Two hundred head of cattle
arrived today, with the market
steady. Cattle receipts here and
elsewhere have been below normal
this week. Beef steers went at $3.50
611.5O; bulk stock and feeder
steers. $6.5O07.75; beef cows, $50
7, and low cutters and cutter cows,
$3.5OqA75.

men as being the sn1artest piece

A bubble of yesterday and the
day before bursted when a ru-
mored piece of horse trading
sending Peckinpaugh and Goslin
to the Athletics for Hauser
failed to materialize..
That report was coupled with
another to the effect that Mack
had also acquired Ira Flagstead,
Phil Todt and Emory Rigney
from the Boston club. Todt be-
ing scheduled to remain to cover
the first sack in place of Hauser
and the other two players to
go to Washington in part pay
ment for Peckinpaugh and Cos

The Peckinpaugh end of these
rumblings seemed reasonable
enough, but the Goslin end
didn't smatter of legitimacy.
Griffith was in the market last
winter to trade Peckinpaugh for
"a good player, preferable a
pitcher, but the Old Fox refused
several cash offers for Roger

him out in so mercinary a man
