The stock market opened yesterday morning with a tremendous show of animation and vigorous upward tendency. Gains became uniform pretty much throughout the list. It was evident that the strength displayed by the market Tuesday had brought orders to the commission houses to buy stocks. There was also buying for London account for the first time in several days, the advance in prices here apparently failing to tempt arbitrage brokers to sell. Their purchases of St. Paul were on quite a large Beale and they also bought Union Pacific, but there were sales of Louisville and Atchison for London account. Sugar was the one exception in the strength of the market of the opening, but its loss soon widened and heavier liquidation in the stock set in, offerings being very heavy and active support being of no avail to recover its losses. Yesterday's rumor of an extra dividend was thoroughly discredited this morning, and yesterday s gain was in consequence completely wiped out before the announcement of the regular dividend. The stock was very feverish all day and fluctuated widely and frequently, but worked constantly towards a lower level, and closed near the lowest at a net loss of 4% points. Consolidated Gas was also a mark for the reactionists and dropped at one time 4% points. The consequence was that the market was kept unsettled all day. When the general advance came to a stop dullness intervened and there were frequent rallies. Larly in the final hour prices of many stocks were at the best, but the final drop in Sugar again weakened prices all around and left net gains confined to fractions in almost all cases and a fair sprinkling of losses all through the list. One of these losses occurred in Minneapolis & St. Louis second preferred, which had been advanced In the morning on a rumor that the dividend was to be Increased, and which reacted oq the awouncenunt of the regular dividend. Union Pacific was heavy on account of the steps taken by the government to qualify as a bidder at the Kansas Pacific sale. Other stocks inclined to heaviness were Western Union, Manhattan,

Metropolitan Street-railway and New York Central. Southern Railway preferred continued the advance which was begun Tuesday on rumors of an approaching dividend and rose at one time 1% per cent. Tobacco also developed late strength, but reacted before the close. Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis enjoyed the benefit of a favorable statement of earnings for the fourth week in November. The activity displayed by the bond market was quite remarkable, sales for the first hour approaching $1.750,C00 in par value, and, it is said, breaking the record for one hour’s business. There was some decrease in activity later in the day, but the tone of the market continued strong, and prices of a number of bonds of the middle grade moved up from one to two points. Some of the high-grade bonds showed heavy gains, Michigan Central fives of 1931 rising 514 per cent.; Milwaukee & Northern consols of 1931 gaining 8%; Louisville & Nashville P. & A. division lives. 3, and Northern Pacific terminal firsts, 2. Missouri Pacific collateral fives also gained 5% points. Total sales. $4,250,000. United States old fours, registered, declined % and United States old fours, coupon, % bid, but the fives rose % bid. The new fours, coupon, sold at 129, which is higher than ever before. The following table, prepart'd by L. W. Ix>uis, Room 11.

The New York Evening Post’s London financial cablegram yesterday says: “The markets were Inactive, but cheerful, the features being the buoyancy of Americans and Argentines. In the former case the tone was entirely due to New York support. There was a good feeling here, but little action. So apathetic are dealers that Secretary Gage’s currency plans had little effect. Os course, It Is felt that if his scheme for an Issue of 2%-per-cent, bonds, payable, principal and interest, in gold coin, is carried through, a great stride will be made towards currency reform. Apropos of the rise in Argentines, I just learn privately that a meeting of what is known as the Rothschild committee had been called for Friday. It is believed that some statement is coming relative to the payment of arrears of interest. Mines were dull. Silver was flat on the announcement that the Indian government will offer next week forty lakhs of bills, when only ten were expected. Wednesday’s Bank Clearings.

One of the most favorable features of trade Is that with the retail merchants all over the country it is improving with each week. The flow of money to the country for grain and produce, hogs and cattle was never greater than *at the present time. Another good feature is the firmness in prices. Fluctuations are rare and no declines worthy of mention. Dry goods, staple groceries, leather, fruits, vegetables and produce are steady and firm at quotations. Confectioners let prices down slightly on some of candies, but as a whole the prices are firm in that line. Provisions are a shade easier, but the market taken as a whole shows little declines. The hide and wool markets are both active and firm, and in fact on but few articles are prices weak. The local grain market is active, inspections the first three days of the week exceeding 100 ears of corn. The weather is very favorable to move grain and the business is really at the present time limited to the cars which can be had. ’irack bids, as reported by the secretary of the Board of Trade yesterday, ruled as follows:' Wheat —No. 2 red, 92c; No. 3 red, /9c; December, 92c; wagon wheat, 92c.

DECEMBER WHEAT sl.Ol — THE YEAR’S RECORD BROKEN BECAUSE OF LIGHT RECEIPTS. Os tlie Advance 2e Was Maintained at the Close—Other Grain and Provision* Lower. CHICAGO, Dec. B.—December wheat sold to-day at sl.Ol and closed at sl.ooti, or 2c above yesterday’s close. May also advanced %c. Receipts in the Northwest at last are falling below those of last year. This fact caused anxiety among the shorts, and was undoubtedly the principal reason for the advance. Other markets were uninteresting. Corn closed a shade lower, oats were unchanged and provisions 2%@7 1 / £c lower, A firmer tone was observable in wheat at the opening, and it improved as the session progressed. The chief incentive to buy came from the further decrease in the deliveries in the Northwest, and, though other bullish news came in during the day, this proved the main sustaining factor throughout. For the first time shorts in December showed real anxiety. December opened at 99c, or %c above yesterday’s close, A little selling by the bull clique sufficed to put the price back to 9S%c, but an hour later an attempt to buy a few lots put the price to $1 very quick. The Interest in the option did not then die out as it did yesterday. More buying orders came in after a slight reaction, which put the price to sl.Ol. Again the bull crowd let go, but for the rest of the day December showed an affection for the dollar mark. There was good action in the May price also, due partly to the bidding up of December and partly to bull influences. May opened a shade over the Tuesday closing, at S9%c, and sold at once to 90c. The first hour found the price advanced %c over last night, to 90%@90%c. Then, when the December went to sl, May sold at 90%c. When December went to sl.Ol May sold up to 91c. It is fair to suppose that fully lc of this gain was due to the pressure in December. Chicago receipts were still as disproportionately heavy as ever, cumbering 2"6 cars, compared with 270 last year, but there are extraordinary inducements being offered to bring w'heat here if it is up to the high requirements of the Chicago contract quality. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 600 cars received, against 715 the Wednesday previous and 629 the corresponding day of the year before. In view of the tine weather and the cash premium this was regarded as arguing a permanent let-up in the heavy receipts in the Northwest. Bradstreet’s world’s visible statement was a surprise, and was influential in the high prices both of December and May. It showed a decrease of 447,000 bushels, whereas an increase of at least 3,000,000 bushels had been looked for. The primary market receipts were 825,000 bushels, compared with 576,000 bushels the year before. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 604.000 bushels. During the last hours May sold off to 90%c on realizing and closed at 90V2@90%c. December closed at $1.00%. Corn was utterly indifferent to the advance In wheat, and barely managed to hold its own. Outside of a little trading in May early in the day there was almost nothing. Receipts were moderate, 350 cars, but country offering showed an increase, and this country selling caused even the slight early advance to be lost. Cables were steady. Clearances amounted to 556.000 bushels. Shipping demand poor, considering the nearness of the close of navigation. May ranged from 28%c to 28%c and closed a shade lower at 28%c. Oats, though quiet, were firm, helped by the strength of wheat. December showed especial firmness, showing %e advance at one time. There was some covering by shorts in that option. Commission houses were moderate buyers of May, as were elevator concerns. Bradstreet showed a visible increase of 307,000 bushels, about the only bearish influence. Receipts were 304 cars. May ranged from 22%c to 22%c and closed unchanged at 22%c. Provisions were weak from the start. Hog receipts were much larger than expected, and heavy selling by Cudahy helped to further weaken the market. Local operators and packers took the offerings. There was a slight recovery from the bottom. January pork closed 7%c lower, at $8.22%: January lard, 5c lower, at $4.25; January ribs, 7%c lower, at $4.17%. Estimated receipts for Thursday—Wheat, 200 cars; corn, 400 cars, oats, 340 cars; hogs, 43,000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows:

B.—The Journal prints to-day some interesting gossip about the Chicago December wheat deal.. The clique views with composure the Armour plan of buying wheat In the Minneapolis market, shipping it to Chicago and delivering it under contract so lata in December that the freezing of the river will prevent its shipment east. Tt is supposed that Armour expected thus to secure the storage of a large share of the wheat for his Chicago elevators until spring. It will come as a genuine surprise to the trade to learn that the clique, far from permitting the wheat to remain in storage all winter, will ship it all rail to the East, where it has already engaged Boston and New York tonnage for Europe. In this way the December wheat will be eliminated from the situation. The Journal asserts that the bull clique is engineering no artificial corner, and will try to pqueeze no one. The clioue believes that a legitimate advance is Inevitable in May and is acting on that theory. The supposition is the Minneapolis contract wheat w’ill gradually find its way into Chicago.

It Is generally admitted, however, that the mills are grinding up the raw material very fast. All things considered, the actual amount must be pretty nearly if not quite at the rate of 600.000,000 lbs per year. Such a showing affords great encouragement to the wool trade and the predictions are still rife that prices will, not long hence, be fully on a level with those of Oct. 1. It is increasingly difficult to speak of actual prices in this market, the quotations are unchanged, and while an intensely dull market alwavs raises the presumption of concessions, it would be difficult to put one’s finger on actual mark-downs at this time. Asa matter of fact, there are hardly buyers enough around to break the market. There has been a big falling off in the sale of Australian, owing to the fact that while there are a number of persons who wou 1 . be glad to rick up round an.o: ..s the hold' s aro not anxious to sell at prices previously quoted. The sales of the week In Boston amount to 1.960.000 ibs domestic and 700.000 lbs foreign, making a total of 2,660,000 lbs. against a total of. 4,552,000 lbs for the previous week.

William Tell has dwindled into a myth. Rousseau’s tomb, which has been the bourne of so many pilgrimages during the last hundred years, has now been discovered to be uritenanted, and now Bonivard, the “Prisoner of Chillon.” so beautifully sung of by Lord Byron, is shown to he something very much akin to u fraud. Visitors to the old castle of Chillon, on the Lake of Geneva, have long gazed with reverent eyes on the track worn in the stone pavement around the pillar to which the. captive was chained during his long incarceration. This year the famous footprints mysteriously disappeared. An inquiry was made in the cantonal legislature as to what had become of them. Thereupon M. Veoqurat. councillor of state, rose and unblushingly explained that they had never existed ut all. but. were artificially manufactured to satisfy the demands of a sentimental public. This year the usual repairs wore done so late that there was no time to renew this vent rable sham. AH Gray Heads. New York Evening Sun. A New Yorker and a man from out of town were in a well-known restaurant the other night. The stranger suddenly made the discovery that with the exception of two every man in the room had gray hair. The very natural question was: Where wero the other fellows?
