Saturday morning the Äew York market gave about fifteen ninutes of active buying to overcome the rather sharp declines In the international ate k whicii bad resulted from the unsettled condition-of affain, in London, giving of the announcc. went of actual failures resulting from the gamble in West Australians and their subsequent slump. thllower Xricp here eemed an atti action In S S' Vd the aggressively fcustalned adIrt St 1lul tn renewed reports of the t-mry of J.

The buying of St. raul itself was on a very large scaie, and the price ro3 to 117, leaving the previous record price far behlad. The market sold Off a littlft lfara . .....

Tie principal strength of n.e "k in high grade railroad ttocks. ne high-priced mcmU-n of the anthracite group were conspicuous. The Northwettern stocks were buoyant, but the other grar.geis failed to "'ow much sympathy with the St. Paul. Northfrn Racine. Union Pacific. Illinois Central, the ;S' American Impress, Wells-Fargo. me Rubber stocks. National Tube and. after early v.eaknts, Husar and Brocklyn Transit, were all strong feature?, the advances running from two to five points. There were weak spots in the list under the pressure of peristent ptoflt-taklr.g, but these prices were above the 'arly low point and the realizing was well absorbed. Standard Oil sold at JaOO and JSG9 a share. i Th.e.5e have been lingering apprehensions during the short week In the stock market that the much dreaded money squeeze might, after all. e-.entuate during the last week of the year, and topple over prices under ihe rush to realize I roflts. There has been, in fact, enormous realizing on everj day, and influential professional operators have testified their confidence that the rise In prices had culminated by frequently putting out short lines. Uut the astonlf-h!ng absorptive power of the merket has taken up offerings from all sources with unsatiated voracnut constar.tly new stocks for favor and shifting profits from on quarter of the market to another. The Judgment cf profesidonal operators has been continually at fault, and the tears have bven forced to cover their short contracts day4 aiter day, helping on the notable ra.lles from the occasional periods of reaction. There has been a growing perception that all ordinary rules and standards are qu.te inadequate to apply to the present stock market Not only are individual or syndicate operations on an unprecedented scale, but the dissemination of interest through the general world of capital takes the market beyond the bounds of the ordinary manipulative processes of stock exchange operators and speculative cliques. The looked for money squeeze is about the only prospect that CCUld be relied Ution to cht-ck th Hotorminatlr.n .to buy stocks, and money has continued eay. m spite of the preparations for the yearly settlements and the enormous renulrfment of thunbridled speculation. The widely diffused pubI.. Pcnumen; nas apparently continued well satisfied with the prices paid for stocks and convinced of the value of its nostwsoions. and there have not r-een lacking t-igns of continued biTjing by banking Interests In furtherance cf llans of consolidation of control. The efforts by professional operators to vork reactions have therefore beer, uniformly defeated. WORKING IN A CIRCLE. It. is a truism that so long as the public maintains its confidence in the value of stocks and baa money with which to buy rrices will continue to advance. But it is worth while considering that the fact of the advance U the attracI tion of the Sneral public to buy, while that I ""J'" iui ii, me tause oi ine auvance. I ft I - . . ... . i a. iw ciear mat mis is a process which, in Its unchked operations, would lead to unlimited innation. The credulous mood of the speculation which quickiy follows any leadership or swallows any rumor Indicates the possibility that tha I stage of Infiatlon has alrcay been reached. One or tne continuing surprises of the situation is the seemingly oounaiess resources or credit upon which the speculation is able to draw. Thld Is explained by the conservatism which was de veloped In the business world last summer. After a year of almost unexampled prosperity the conviction became deeply rooted that the culmination had been reached of one of the country's prosperous eyelet. The relapse in the price of Iron-products and the failure of the spring wheat crop were accepted as reliable indications that the period of diminishing profits and declining prire was at hand. The process of development of new enterprses came to a practical standstill in the face of this neemlng condition and idle capital was accumulated. The available resources of capital were never so great before in the country, and it became timid and conservative pending the more definite outline of the future. The possible unfavorable contin gencies were given exaggerated importance, in cluding possible pressure on the New York I money market from both domestic and foreign sources. The present conditions prove how more than ample were the provisions made against these contingencies. With the rebound from tho spirit of overcaution and the unlocking of all tho strings or credit, tne nrst outpouring of the reserves of capital was into the stock market. Hut the buoyant confidence of capital which has had its exemplification in the recent stock market 1 the certain forerunner or newf enter-. prise in the neld of business and dovelonmenf. The low prices to which securities had fallen Invited the rush of capital with the restoration of confidence. But with rrices of securities lifted to a level where the return on capital has become small, the time is sure to come when liquidation will besrin for the purpose of relnvetn.ment In the new enterprises which have the attraction of larger returns and which the business activity and prosperity of the country and Its vast undeveloped resources Elve a reasonable assurance of upfcss. Th tlmo f rtr thl tononpir to mIiow itself in the stock market is a matter of surmise, and it is not unlikely to be preceded by many rpecu,atlve vicissitudes, largely due to technical cause of speculative excess and readJustment to the real volume of capital investment in securities. As the Operation m the stock market have already far outrun a mere professional movement to anticipate the unex pected future demand for stocks In Januarv. It would be futile to attempt to estimate how much of that actual demand remains to be satisfied, or how long the speculative public will continue the confident absorption of securities. There haa been mme flagrant manipulation of special stocks during the past week, and the ready response of speculative followers to the most flaerant of it justifies a suspicion of the soundness of some of the apparent strength of the market. There has been increasing interest in railroad Closing Stocks.

Other markets rallied in sympathy, corn closing eats HQzic and provisions 2',,12tc higher. Tbere will be no session cf the Board of Trade on Tcesday, Jan. 1. For two and a half active, strenuous hours. the usual duration of the Saturday session of the Board of Trade, wheat displayed an eftervescent spirit. DurlLg the first hour there was more speculative business than during the whele session of any other day this week. The first rymptoms of buoyancy and strength brought baeU from the alluring stock market many deserters from the grain pit. May wheat opened unchanged it 72c, but quickly responded to buying orders from all rlds cf the pit. May advanced, growing more active as it soared until TS'ic was bid. Over 74c offerings were a bit freer, but they quickly ceased when the breadth of the demand heeame apparent, ai.d not till the price was well over 75c did the selling pressure assume sufficient weight to affect the price. From the top May eased to 74c, but here the clamor cf shorts was renewed and a recovery ensued. May closing t?42c over yesterday at 75Ui'54c. Ihe foundation cf the market's strength lay in the recent stubborn firmneps of for!gn markets and, to a greater degree. In tho falling off In Northwestern receipts. The week'r receipts at Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago aggtegated 1,787 cars, 1.C25 cars lets than ihe previous week, and 1,-07 cars under the receipts at those points the corresponding wtek a year ago. To-day's receipts were 316 cars, agal.:st C40 h:st week and 411 a year ago. Of these Chicago reported 125 cars, 11 of contract grade. These figures rerved as a basis for the assertion that Northwestern receipts had at last entered upon a prolonged reduction which would finally substantiate the government report that less than S3.O00.UX) be had been raided m the three .treat ppr'ng what States of the Northwest. Primary receipts were 413,000 bu compared with 4:6,CjO bu a year ajo. Kxporter reported 25 loads taken. Seaboard clb ranees. In wheat and flour, were e;p.al to 230,000 bu. Corn was fairly active and firm, but owed most of Its strength to th substantial ripe In wheat. Moderate receipts, 343 cars here, ymall country offerings and a shipping demand which continued in the fac of the advance tn values, were contributary factors. Some hoavy short lines were reported covered, or at least substantially reduced. May Fold between 3(iic and 36c, and closed VtQ'-iic higher at 3626'nc The oats market was wafted upwarJs by the favorable breeze which struck wheat.
