GOULD ISSUES RISE
Heavy Buying Wabash Bonds

GOOD GAINS ARE SHOWN
Jio Indications' of Money Stringency
In Wall Street Movement of
Cash From the Interior
Continues.
NEW YORK. Dec ZZ. The Oould lssu.1
and Lehigh Valler attracted most atentlon
In the stock market. The advance 14 Le
high Vallfy was confined and apparently
was baatrd on the belief that some action
soon may be taken In regard to an extra
distribution to shareholders. The quotation
was advanced to H6V the highest prlos
on record, although profit-taking later re
durod thla gain.
Among the Gould securities trading was
heavy In the 'U'abash 4 per cent bonds. A
demand for these developed late and they
r"M nearly S points to aa compared
with to earlier In the week. The preferred
stock also advanced. Denier & Rio Grande
securities showed pronounced weakness
early, but later rallied sharply. On the
recovery the S per cent bonda lumped from
i to i.
The market showed the enstomary symp
toms with a triple holiday at hand. Trad
ing was on a small acale and final chanses
were Inconsequential In most cases. Home
of the copper shares declined after Jhelr
recent advances, and American Woolen
showed weaknesa which reflected the recom
mendation for a reduction of the tariff on
wool and woolens.
In the money market there were no In
dications of .tress such aa prevails abroad.
The bank. thl. week received more than
U. 000.000 from the Interior, about .000.
000 less than last week, when the move
ment was the heaviest recorded In weeks,
c-stlmatea of tomorrow's bsnk statement In
dicated a gain, the amount being placed
from 15. 000.000 to $9,000,000.
The bond market was Irregular, with a
large proportion of the transaction In the

Uncertainty of Foreign Markets
Causes a General Evening Up.

CHICAGO. Dec. 21. Both longs and shorts
today busied themselves getting clear of
wheat. All American grain exchanges will
be closed tomorrow and Monday, and there
waa a general desire to be free of com
mitments ana avoid the effecta of any sur
prise which might be sprung In foreign
markets. The end of the evening up pro
cess left wheat varying from a shade lower
to '4c higher then last night. Corn fin
ished t-lb to VtC down: oats unchanged to
4,c off, and hog products either not altered
or 6o down.
May wheat ranged from 48o to 884C
with last sales US4c. a net loss of a shade.
May corn fluctuated from 6S4c to 44c,
finishing H0S- down at 64SC. Cash
grades were easier. so. 2 yellow waa not
quoted.
Limits touched for May oats were 47!4c
and 47 Sc with the close l-lc net lower
47SC
An attempt to advance packing products
brought out rather free offering and made
valuea react. Pricea stood at last night's
level or were sagging but not to exceed In
any case as much aa a nickel.
