Tho erratic lluctua tinns In the market rcllccted tho uncer tainty of this class of speculators. They sold the market at the opening on tho lower prices from London. The substan tial character of the buying demand which they met and the consequent ie fusal of the mniket to go down caused them to tuin to the lm,g side. The highly imrcuiliil fpeclalllcM Were the favorites In tho dealings, and some of them wcro bid up In a rather sensational manner. Metropolitan Street Hallway, Sugar and Broolilyn Transit were the most conspicu ous feature of tho market all day. The rise In these was so considerable as to Invite tho realizing of profits towards the closiiif.' of the day. This caused- the market to run off at the cost of a largo port of the early gains established. No. vembi r statement of St. Paul's earnings showing the Increase In the gross earn ings, more than wiped nut with a result ing decrease In the net return of over $7;!vo, lino" a marked effect on the rail road list, which declined sharply through out. The fall from the top level In St. Paul wns V't and reached a point in a number of other railroad stocks. The consequence was a mixture of not gains and losses, although the market hard ened in the fliml dealings on a demand from the shorts to cover their contracts. Wlillo Hie movement of prices was larije. ly due to prnfrf-lonal manipulation, there wns n good volume of business represent ing a continuance of a substantial de mnnd from outside sources through com mission houses. The demand for small lots of stocks continued In evidence, es pecially on any recessions in prices. There was no evidence, of uneasiness over the money situation and no pressure to sell stocks. Although prices wero lower In Londan there was no evIder.cB of nnv fear of disaster at that point with the progress of the settlement. ThP money sltnntlon In New York continued easv and confidence Is felt that the short rtmalnlncr period lforo the close of the year will bo comfortably tided over. Some corporations are anticipating the January first pavments. Money Is coming to New York from out of town sources, partly In the form of returns on Christmas trade to be deposited In the banks, partly In the form of remittances to mako good losses on stocks In the lato decline and partly for Investment In new accounts In the stock market. The special press ure for funds from Boston has relaxed 1 and New York exchange nt that center i rose to par. The shipments of gold an- nounoc'l lor Saturday nan lime oitect on i the sentiment owing to the feeling that 1 forces nro at work to offset this drain. I Total sahs, Oil, SOT shares.
