FINANCIAL AMD COMMERCIAL —— VASTLY IMPROVED MARKET. New York, Dec. 8.—The complexion of today's stock market underwent an abrupt change for the better this aft- ternoon when speculators for the decline were compelled to abandon their efforts on the short side becauss of their fail- ure to bring out any large volume of stocks. Ralls proved a vulnerable tar- get to early pressure, but industrials of- fored Detter resistance and it was the strong buying power appearing in such leaders as Baldwin, United States Steel common and Sfudebaker that turned prices again after noon. The partial recovery in raflroad shares was stimulated by publication of President Harding’s message to con- gres, approving raliroad mergers and the pooling of equipment, and recom- mending abolition of the raflroad la- Bor board and the substitution of a Jabor - division of the interstate com- merce commission with power to enforce s declsions. Canadan -Pacific, Illinols Central, Pere Marquette and Reading, which had been weak in the early deal- ings, closed at slight gains, Preferred tssugs of the St. Paul and Rock Island systems registered net losses of more than a point each. Recent heaviness of rall shares has been attributed to “tax- ation selling” nnd unloading of pools whish had become discouraged by the tack of public participation. Studebaker continued to reflect the fa- vorable earnings report of that com- pany and speculative approval of the di- rectors’ intention to continue the $10 dividend rate on the mew stock, today's closing price of 133 3-4 representing e net gain of 2 3-4. Other motors improv- ed in sympathy, Chandler climbing & point and Hudson, Moon, Packard, Plerce-Arrow and Willys Overland, frac- tionally. Accessorfes also did better, Fisher Body advancing 3 1-2 points. Sugars were taken in hand again and gains of 1 to 2 1-2 points were record- od in that group by American Beet Blgar, American Sugar, Cuba Cane com- mon and preferred, South Porta Rican snd Cuban American, Natlonal Lead established a new top of 119 1-4 on re- wival of reports of a stock dividend. Strength of tobacco products reflected reports showing a large increase in cigarette shipments during the first 11 months _of the year. Baldwin was pushed up 1 5-8 points on the day; United States Steel com- mon touched 104 but reacted to 103 6-8 for & small fractional new gaim and Corn Products crossed 132 for a net gain of 1 1-2 in response to some heavy short ocoverings. Other outstanding strong_spots were Hendee, Pullmam, ide Water Ofl, Woolworth and Wells Express, all up 2 1-4 to 7 1-2 ta. Piggly-Wiggly established a new D In reflection of short covering oc- pasioned by the announcement that the ent of the company had come to s oity to demand delivery of stock from short interests. Raligious holidays abroad resulted in & reduced volume of business in forelgn sxchange with rates generally holding frm. The advance in sterling appears fo have been momentarily checked, to- Say's yuling rate being $4.56 12, as against the high of 4.57 1-8 yesterday. ch francs got up to 7.08 1-2 and tallan lira again crossed the § cent mark. Cansdian exchange was quoted at & discount of 1-32 of a cent. Call money opened at 5 per cent., but pased Off to 4 1-2 and thence to Where it closed.

New York, Dec. 8.—Heavy selling of some of the speculative railroad mort- gages for taxation purposes combined with better buying power in foreign and United States government securities, gave today's bond market an irregular appearance with only a modern amount of business being transacted. St. Panl issues were again in free supply, the refunding 4 1-2's breaking 2 3-8 points; the general 4 1-2's, 1 3-4 and the convertible 4 1-2's, 1 1-2.’ Frisco income 6's and Erle convertible 4's, Se- ries A, also were sold heavily, each dropping 1 3-4 points, while nearly & dozen other active low priced liens drop- ped a point each.

Chicago, Dec. 8.—Wheat averaged higher in price today owing chiefly to ‘buying assoclated with Presdent Hard- ing’s message. The market closed firm at the same as yesterday's finsh to 1 cent up, with May $1.17 1-4 to $1.17 318 and July $1.08 1-8 to $1.08 1-4. Corn closed unchanged to 1-8@1-4c low- er, oats unchanged to 1 cent higher, and provisions varying from five cents de- cline to a gain of two cents. It was only for a brief time around the opening that unexpected lower quo- tations st Liverpool had any influence on ‘the wheat market here. The Liver- pool decline was ascribed to a bearish estimate of the probable yleld of wheat % lin Argentina. Attention here, however, was occupled for the most “part with gossip about what the -president would say in regard to agriculture and about financing exports of foodstuffs. Many traders expected that the message wofild prove bullish, and they bought in as- socrd with that bellef. Sury arfes of the message fafled to equal bullish anticipations, and _there was a good deal of wheat selling on the part of early buyers. The market eased down In consequence, but the decline brought about a renewal of purchasing in which a St. Louis trader was active. With domestic primary receipts falling off and with European crop reports con- strued as rather bullish, the market clos- ed firm, little notice being given to an assertion that Russia had 2,500,000 tons of grain available for export. Heavier receipts had a bearish effect on the corn market, slightly more than oftsetting the influence of wheat strength. Oats were lifted as a result of flurried covering by December shorts. Provisions wers dull, but were steadied by firmness of hogs. COTTON. New York, Dec. 8.—Cotton spot quiet; middling 24.95. MONEY.
