By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Chicago Tribune-Qmahsi Ilea Leased Wire.
New York. , Dec. 1. Willi transac
tions on the stock -exchange, which
reached a million shares for the
first tinie siRtTt last Friday, today's
market at first declined, then moved
up sharply again, and ended the day
with net gains and ntf losses about
equally divided. Comparatively few
of the final changes were important;
most of them were only fractions.
For a time the market's outward ap
pearance was distinctly weak, A
number of the railway shares sold
at prices 2, to 4 points below Tues
day's closing and declines of Ir to 2
points occurred in the active indus
trials. But the special reasons urged in
Wall street for the lower prices were
hardly sensible; one of them; much
favored by the room trader element,
heinir that the market was -depressed
.because of a statement that the
Southern, Pacific board had post
poned announcement of its "segre
gation plan" until after the close of
business. This sort oj thing could
hardly be taken seriously, and as a
matter of fact there was evidence of
strong buying at the early low
prices, with the resultant quick re
covery in the final hour.
Beslstance Marked.

declined, a full cent at Chicago In" the
early trading, then advanced 8 cents from
the lowest and closed with a gain of 5V4o
tor tho day..' Tho cotton market, aftor
so'verul hours of uncertainty, ended Jo
per pound- shove Tuesday and nearly l)o
above Saturday. , ...
Foreign exchange, which also had its
hour of weakness thia morning, cloaed aa
a rule at a slight advance. ,.
Silver bullion rose penny from todays
low level of the year at London aim .1H"
at New York. J
' Vnlform Tendency. J
Taken as a whole, the day's markets
undoubtedly displayed a more . i- tlforin
tendency to aeturnlng atoadlnesa thair on
any day ulnco the scattered Indications of
a halt to the various declining movements
come In slitht.- This did not occur because
of easier money; the stock exchange rate
for call loans held at J per cent all day,
which meant that the market was firmer
than on any day alnce the middle of
November. No one was taken by aur
prise at this, however; Wall street has
recognized that last week's downward
movement was premature. It Is Interest,
lng to observe, however, that this week a
money rates on the London matket have
been steadily declining. For call loans
the rate has gone this week from 6V4
per cent to 414; for short term bills, from
6T to 6H. Not many weeks ago enen
Lombard street was talking of a poaslble
rise In Jhe Bank , of England rate above
7 por cent.
Putiling Condition. '
Midweek reviews or the ateel trade again
pointed to a puzzling condition. The Iron
Ago says positively, of the reduction of
many products by the independent mills
to the ateel corporation's prices, that
"thus far none of the cuta have had any
effect on buying." It Is not altogether
eaay to aee why It should have much ef
fect. If any, when the corporation has been
maintaining those prices all along ia able
to work at larger capacity than today's.
To the trade the iron Age .ascribes the
belief that 1921 "will be the largest "rail
year' in a decade;" but the prospect for the
recently predicted advance in mo nai price
for rails la apparently no longer con
sidered probable.

Chicago, Dec. 1. There was more
disposition to buy wheat and coarse
grains, although wheat was favor$l
by traders. News of the day was
more bullish ana tue market re
sponded to strong flueitce. At the
same time there was numerous weak
spots when prices receded sharply,
but the average was hicher and the
close well toward the best figures of
the day, particularly on coarse
grains, whil wheat showed reces
sions ' of l3c from the outside.
Net gains were" SVjffi'S-Uc on wheat,

Provisions were sparingly offered
and closed, around the best prices.
with pork uj 50c, lard 31(&42;4c
and short ribs 25c .higher.
Export demand for cash wheat and
rye was brisk, sales of 1,000,000
bushels wheat includjng gulf and
manitobas being reported by Rus
sell's News, and 1,000,000 bushels
rye. The latter, however, probably
was old, business, as the cash grain
was secured in the west "today.
Lower at St. Louis. - . ,
Southwestern, wheat markets failed to
follow the full advance In futures. : Red

3 cents lower and hard winter 1 cent

May was on tap on all hard spota especially-ground

In tho last half hour. Hulburd-Warren-
handler led the buing ot May, and the
Armour Grain Co. also took considerable.
The seaboard reported 240,000 bushels
corn sold to the United Kingdom. Cash
premiums were mostly strong with yellow
2 Onts hlher, while new corn was
2 cents lower to 2 cents higher, and
old unchanged to 2 cents higher, with
shipping salesJ40,000 bushels. .
Trade in Oats Light. '
Trade in oats was light, and the action
of prlceB is largely controlled by tile
sales of bids arid offers eah day. De
liveries were only 7,000'lioshels. Export
sales were 60,000 bushels made at 13c
over Chicago December track ,Baltlmore.
Receipts, 55 cars. Shipping sales. 135.000

, . . Pit Notes.
L. Tj. Winters of Hulburd, Warren and
Chandler says: "So far the demand for
our wheat has been chiefly for export,
domestic buyers holding off and refusing
to stock up and permitting foreigners to
secure all the wheat they cared to buy
at declining prices. Notwithstanding the
deplorable financial condition the world
ove, foreigners seem to have enough
iniey or, enough credit to buy wheat in
large quantities.
National City bank says: "Pre-war Im
portations of wheat and rye by western
Europe were rdoui oov.uvu.uuu uubuch
but consumption since then has been ma
tc-rially reduced, and Broomhall estimates
needa of all Importing countries for tho
crop yer ending next June at 660,000,000
bushels.
Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis were.
342 cars, compared with 496 cafs last
week and 232 cars last year; Duluth re
ceived 835 cars, compared with 201 cars
last week and 40 cars laat year.
Winnipeg receipts were 1,261 cars,
against 884 cars last week) and 364 cars
a year ago. :
Special reports to the Price Current
Grain Reporter Indicate that stocks of
wheat in country elevators of the surplus
grain producing states are "low," except
In I a few localities of Ohio and Kansas,
where they are reported "normal." Stocks
of corn- are reported generally "low."
The Northwestern , Miller's weekly re
view says: "Flour market news con
tinues largely negative, with buyers every
where holding off on account of the con
tinued weakness of wheat. The relation
between flour and bread Is now more
nearly on a pre-war basis than at any
time since 1913, which suggests that great
ter stability in the market is close at
hand." .
