NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—There wa a change In the character of the trading at the opening of the stock market today, strength at the start being followed by pressure against many issues. Southern Pacific, after advancing % to 106. yielded to 104%. The trading in the rights was transferred from the curb 'to the exchange, sales being made at from 21% to 20%. Mexican Petroleum was again active todav. advancing 1% to 168, and then falling to 167. There was heavy selling of Royal Dutch, forcing that stock down 1% to 68%.

The copper issues were fractionally lower, Anaconda yielding % to 38%. Pressure was renewed against many stocks during tha forenoon, causing losses of from 1 to 8 points. Southern Pacific was steadily supplied, yield.ng from an early high of 106 to 104%, and the impression increased that leading Interests have been sellers of that stock.

Reading was an Important exception to the general weakness, being In urgent demand and advancing over 2 points to 90%. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Dec. 3 It Is becoming evident that the market Is now able to take care of Itself reasonably welL On declines resistance develops and this resistance Is becoming a little more pronounced each day, as Investors, recognizing the extremely low valuations prevailing, are entering the market with a little more confidence and accumulating stocks with the view of holding over the present depression. Furthermore, the bankers' attitude is more friendly, and the more confident expressions here now are in sharp contrast with the warnings of the early part of this year. Business does not yet show a material change, which la quite natural. It will take, time to overcome all of the difficulties that the commercial world Is confronted with at this time, but it la well to bear In mind that cur present evils are not the result of overproduction of necessities, but under buying on the part of the public, and whenever the public does enter the market we are likely to experience another rise In commodity prices.

GRAIN PRICES SUFFER LOSSES' General Selling Chief Factor in the Decline. CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—General selling caused grain prices to decline In trading on the Chicago Board of Trade .today. Hope that Congress would enact legislation of benefit to the grain growers was the only force which aided In strengthening the market. Trade In corn was quiet, with only small offerings. Provisions dropped slightly. December wheat was off lc at the opening, $1.68%, and held that figure in later trading. March wheat opened off l%e at $1.64, and dropped l%c additional before the close. December corn, after opening up %c at 71%c, dropped %c. May corn was off %c at the opening at 7ec and in later trading lost auother %c. December oats was up %c at 47%e at the opening and subsequently lost %e. May oats, after opening up %c at 51%, lost %c. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Dec. 2 Wheat—lt Is beginning to be recognized that the tactual exportations and the sales consummated, but not yet shipped, have reduced our surplus to the point where the amount normally carried over at the end of the crop must this year provide for seven months' export business, as well as the carry-over. New foreign demand has been slowed down by the advance In prices, but private advices tell of a large export business recently done on tne Pacific coast. e again call your attention to the difficulty In filling export saleH. as evidenced by a further advance in the premiums bid. It hag been commonly accepted that Southern Hemisphere wheat would supply the continental demand after the first of the year. If there is any truth in today's Australian cables which say that the entire surplus has already been •old, and If any damage occurs to the Argentine crop, where It? is now remaining during harve*t, then ttie idea of ample supplies fiom south ot the equator is dissipated. The persistent and liberal foreign demand la the essence of the market and probably will bring an ultimately higher range of values, but It must he remembered that there is not the usual confidence on oart of the Investor in the way <*r anticipating future wants. Because of this comparative absence of buying power the market will be subject to numeroua recessions. We confidently believe that thee rectasioua will prove opportune spots for Investments. , Corn—The strength lu wheat has been mainly responsible for the action of corn, but it seems to us that there is Individuality underlying this market. It arises from the light receipts, the practically total absence of offerings by the country and the fact tbut the consuming trade bat yet to meet exhausted stocks and provide for future uses. The movement at the present time is not large enough to meet local requirement* of industries and feed dealer*. Shipper* with previous sale* to the Ec*t uave not yet provided for these sale* Therefore, they may be expected to appear in the spot market at any time. Shipment of corn from this market back to the heart of the corn belt is distinctly out of the ordinary and either disputes the idea of a large surplus of old com or confirms the reluctant selling of the producer. Advantage should be takeu of every small depression In price to provide for future wants. Oats—There 1* no revival of outside interest in the oat market but it occurs to us that the above remarks relative to corn apply with equal force to oats. This being *o, prices should work higher. 1 Provisions—Accumulation* of hog products in warehouse* in Chicago are about 50 per cent of last years stock*, a remarkable showing In the face of thl* liberal accumulation ninety days ago. Taking thl* In conjunction with the estimated reduction In the number of farm animals. w arrive at the idea of higher prices in the future.

Price of Pork Now Below April 1 , 1917, Level; Beef Drops CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—Packers’ prices on pork have dropped below the pre-war lever of April 1, 1917, according to a review of the meat and livestock situation Issued today by the Institute of American Meat Packers. Beef prices also have deeliued, the report says, carcass beef during the last week In November Khowlng a drop of 9 per cent over the price on Oct. 1, and 17 per cent lower than on Sept. 1. The decline In pork loins during November, the report points out, amounted to 27 per cent; smoked hams, 35 per cent; bacon from 15 to 25 per cent, aed various other pork products from -10 to 47 per cent. Declining trends of commodity prices and of grain, the report declares, were the chief causes for the reduction in the price of packers’ products. "Persons In the trade,” the report says, "are reluctant to say whether the bottom of prices has been reached. A cut of from 20 to J 25 per cent In cement prices was reported from Illinois, Tennessee and Michigan. Reductions of from 7 to 11 per cent In the price of lumber was reported from Milwaukee.

NIAGARA POWER REVENUESOURCE Engineer Says U. S. and Canada Could Pull Down $40,000,000. MONTREAL, Quev, Dec. tlonal agreements by which 4,000,000 horsepower a year could be developed at Niagara Falls for manufacturing purI poses In the United States and Canada | were urged by T. Kennard Thompson, a ‘ noted engineer. In an address here, j "If the policy of the five pioneer companies now using power at Niagara Falls were followed,” said Mr. Thompson, "the greatest manufacturing disj trict in the world would be established : between Lake Brio and Lake Ontario on \ both sides of Niagara river. The result* jln expenditures by private Individuals and corporations would be measured by billions of dollars. International agreements should be formed whereby 4.000,000 horsepower can be developed annually without Interfering with the rights of the pioneer companies or destroying the cataract. "This could be done without expense to either government. The two government* could levy a tax of S2O a horsepower, which would mean that each government would be assured of an income tax of $40,000,000 a year without financial obligatttons. The most valuable water power possibilities In America. If not In tbe world, are at Niagara Falls.” The part of Canada contiguous to Niagara Is a rich apple, grape and farming, region. The water power plan, it is pointed out, would not only stimulate Industries but Increase agricultural development and settlement.
