NKW YORK, Dec. 4. The restraint under
which operations for higher prices In the
stock market have labored during the week
was inrown oir to a large extent today
and the advance was resumed with more
appearance of harmony than any movement
iius snown tor many nays. There was much
aiscusslon on the floor of the Stock ex
change of the supposed contents of the
forthcoming messago of 1'resuleiit Roose-
Velt. The word was nnssed around that
the tone of the message was mild and that
ii coniainen notning calculated to cause
fright to the most timid speculator. It was
alleged also that the modification ot the
Sherman-antl triiBl law would be advo
cated so ss to provide against Its applica
tion to other than unreasonable comblna.
Hons in restraint of trade and so open the
way to allow agreements amongst railroads
on rates. The action of the market owed
something to the relief afforded Itv the
speculative liquidation already effected, and
ot which there was evidence of a subsidence
lonay. 'this was notably true of United
Mates eel, In which the selling has been
persistent throughout the week.
The freedom with which that stock ad
vanced, although to a moderate extent, was
of material effect In shaping sentiment on
tho whole market. Low priced stocks con
tinued a Prominent feature and in some
of these the only reason advanced for vola
tile upshonts was the activity of the market
pools, which hsd accumulated large
amounts of chosen stocks and were holding
them out of the market for higher prices.
Manipulation to that end was rather obvi
ous in the rase of some of these stocks.
The Gould group, led by Wabash preferred.
Was a conspicuous feature of the dealings.
Oreat Northern preferred was the ln,l.r
of the high-priced stocks. Rock Island pre-
ierred advanced again to a point higher
than that touched in the spurt in connec
tion with the sale of St. Louis t San Fran
cisco bonds. The strength of this slock
was helped by a recollection of the fact
that the present 4 per cent rate of prefer
ence in dividends which it enjoys Is- to ad
vance to 6 per cent on the expiration of
the year 1909 and to 6 per cent at the end
ot 1916. The money market continued stlffer
than of late.
Preparations wero In prWresn todnv for
participation In the I'anama canal bonds
Issue, for which subscriptions to an amount
of $30,000, 010 are to be opened tomorrow.
The usual preliminary estimates of the
week's currency movement pointed to a
heavy loss in cash by the banks, largely on
account of government operations, but In
cluding also shipments of gold to Paris and
to Canada. Funds have come from the In
terior to the amount of nearly Jl.ouO.OuO, but
ine oiner aemanus are expected to lessen
holdings to the extent of $6,000,000 to 8,000,
000. There was a sharp expansion In the
week's grain exports, tho wheat outgo
rising 1,164,000 bushels over last week and
corn exports also suddenly Increasing nearly
1.000,000 bushels to 1,806,290 bushels, tho
heaviest outgo for that grain of the pres
ent season.
Bonds were strong. Total sales, par value,
,330.000. United States bonds were un-
changed on call.

this morning were
light as usual on a Friday, there not being
enough of any otto kind of cattle to excite
very much Interest uniong buyers. Tho re
mit was that it was a typical Fridays
market, there being very little doing and
Hale in the way of Intettstiug or new lea
tut es.
Among tho offerings of beef steers were
some of the best cattle seen here In some
time, 0110 bunch of cornfeds scUlr-s up to
$7.10, the h. gliest price paid since Septem
ber. While the market was generally
quoted as steady on the best grades, it
was very slow and weak on others.
Cows and heilers wen also dull, but that
Is the common complaint on a Friday.
Prices on the mora desirable loads were
not materially different, but other kinds
were, if anything, a little easier.
There was ha.dly enough doing in the
feeder or stocker market to make a test
of the market, but the feeling was steady
on strictly good kinds, but weak and slow
on others.

still the offerings of desirable killers were
quite moderate. With the usual good de
niuiul the trade on all good kinds of fed
sheep and lambs was active, at tully steady
prices. Oood fed lambs sold up as high as
$6.65, with the best yearlings here at $5.40
and ewes at $4.:. The pens were cleaned
in very good season of everything that
looked good to packers. On the other h.'ind,
there was quite a sprinkling of very un
desirable stuff, lambs that ought to have
been held back In tho country on feed at
least sixty days In order to fit them
for killers. Stuff of that - description was
hard to move, as feeders do not seem very
anxious for it and packers will not touch
It. Some of It that was bought on this
market as feeders did not look very much
better than when It went out, about the
only noticeable change li. ing a few addi
tional burrs. It will he readily understood
that It Is a great mistake on the part of
feeders to ship In either Bheep or lambs
In such condition, as they are bound to be
money losers.
There was very little here In the way of
feeders except warmed-up stuff and the
market was without noteworthy features,
the trade being a little slow and dull.
