BISMARCK MORNING TRIBUNE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1917 FEVERISH SPURTS OF HOLIDAY ACTIVITY Peace Rumors Send Municipals Well Over Last Week’s Figures—Rails Active. MARKET LOSES ON * — MININUM BASIS New York, Dec. 2 2 ontrary to general expectations, the impending holiday on the stock exchange was accompanied by occasional spurts of activity and many substantial acces: ns to last week’s gains. The movement was accelerated by a further settlement of short con- tracts, but other motives and factors were not altogether lacking. Peace rumors gained fresh cur- rency, if not credence, from their wide circulation, tra ble in part to specu- jative interests. Their effect was most marked in the bond list, French municipals rising 2 to 4 per cent over last week’s best quotation. This advantage was not well mai. tained, however, and at no -time e tended to the premier foreign bond, namely the Ango-French 5's, which were reactionary with Canadian is- sues. in the stock list gross gains rang- ed from 1 to almost 3 points in sea- soned reils and 2 to 4 points in rep- resentative industrials, including mun- itions, 1 to 2 in coppers and shippings, 2 to 6 in tobaccos and oils, and 1 to 3 in motors and miscellaneous special-{ Final prices were from fractions to a point under a day’s minimums the reported cancellation of Russian or- ders proyoking moderate rei Total amounted to 415,000 shares.
