COCOA N UTS Per t NEW YORE STOCKS AND BONDS Frononiiofd Smptomi of Profeiiionftl Manipulation Are Obwmd. RESULT IS HIGHER PRICES ALL THROUGH Speculative Sentiment Orer the Storks Is Kqnnlly Confosed, ns There Was So Particularly Good News ad Dome Bad. NEW YORK, Dec. 1. There was a con siderable Increase of activity In today's stock market and a generally higher range of prices resulted at the end of the day. The movement continued hesitating and somewhat Irregular and the small net changes resulting In some of the more active stocks left a suspicion of profes sional manipulation. Even the purpose of the supposed manipulation waa subject of doubt and dispute covering such varying suppositions as a profeslonal movement agHinst the shorts, the bidding up of the prices for marketing long stock and even a purpose on the part of the bearish pro fessionals to make a market for putting out fresh short lines. Speculative sentiment over stocks was equally confused. There was little In the actual news of the day to favor an advance In prices and some of the news wat distinctly unfavorable. The report of net earnings of the Erie for Octo ber showed a decrease of $375,758. compared with the preceding year. This was without effect on the market, partly because It had been foretold and was known to have be-n due to the loss and Interruption of traffic, by floods. It was partly offset also by the state ment for the same period, which showed an Increase In net earnings of all the com panies of $67tf,579. The general testimony disclosed ln other statements of earnings recently has been for Increases In gross earnings to be mostly or wholly wiped out by enlarged operating expenses. The re ports of gross earnings for the third week In November thus far published show an Increase on the average of less than 2 per cent, although the returns from tho coalers are not included, and this group will com pare with large earnings last year. The passing of the dividend on Republic Steel, although It had been feared, had not been fully assured, and considering this the effect In the industrial list was slight. That stock itself fell an extreme 2 but recov ered all but a fraction. There waa a re duction in the price of copper In local mar ket. The money market continues firm, but the rate for call loans reached only 7 per cent, compared wWh 9 per cent of yesterday. The expected transfer of $1,000. 000 by telegraph to Snn Francisco was made and in addition $200,000 was trans ferred to New Orleans, while New York exchange at Chicago fell to a slight dis count. The price of gold rose In London and sterling exchange weakened here but only $100,000 was secured In Ixndon for New York account. Announcement was made of about $750,000 of Japanese gold shipped for Snn Francisco. The factors In the advance in stocks were In the form rather of surmise, the old rumor of a Oould-Pennsylvanla settlement figuring to a large extent. The strength of southern rosda was attributed to general conditions such as the prosperity of the cotton belt and the harmony of railroad control as sured by the recent seaboard air line deal. There was an attempt to convey the im pression that large bankers and capitalists had been absorbing stocks in the midst of the prevailing depression of sentiment, looking beyond the probable revival. The market closed firm. The bond market was broader but rather Irregular.

Business on the stock exchange opened dull, owing to fears regarding the situation in the far fast, though It was generally believed that Russia was not anxious to engage In hostilities. There was a good undertone and prices were fractionally firmer. Later there was some Investment buying, but speculation was poor. Consols opened quiet and then spurted sharply on lear covering, but the best quotations of the day were not main tained. Home rails were depressed on ac count of poor earnings, the Indifferent trade outlook and capital requirements. Americans opened steady at parity, the anticipations of further gold exports to New York being a factor of the firmness. Ixiuisville Nashville nnd Norfolk Western were the feat ires. There was an Improvement later nnd prices closed firm. Grand Trunk Juniors were tn fair recovery, owing to the belief that the November and December statements will make a much better showing than that of October. Kaffirs opened depressed on the report that China would raise obstacles 'to the Importation of coolies to South Africa. Later they made a good recovery. BERLIN. Dec. 1.
