SUNDAY, Jan. lb-6 P. H.
During the past week the stock market has bssn par
,uarIy dpn and depressed Prices have besn gra iualy
and eady settling down. and all tho indications visible
few days sine Of upward movement have disappear
ed and the probability is that for time shall
have inactive stats of things at the stock exchange
Money easynot abundant. The dems nd Is not beyond
the supply; and, tbs reason advances the market
WILL without doubt, be relieved There Ia no diff
Guilty TO be spprehended from scarcity Of capital for all
the ordinary purposes Of commerce. and there very lit
tie doubt but that for speculative purposes means will be
abur dant enough the moment favorable opportunity
presents itself for uiing them advautageously. How
room such An opportunity viii It Is impossible
now to tell but We believe 1t Is not far Of Quo
tations for stocks generally comparatively low
and the argn for speculative Improvement In them
Ia vice enough to attract . great number OF
outside operators when turn takes place. The only
cause now exiting for the depression In the stock
market Is the position Of sfArs the other side OF the
Atlantic Steamer after steamer arrives without bring
ing any definite decided information relative the
future course Of events and are therefore, left In
state of uncertainty and doubt highly injurious TO al the
most important interests Of the country Much difference
Of opinion exists here and In Europe to the effect Of
the movements recently made the fleets Of France and
England In the Black Sea- and much anxiety and interest
We disposed to look upon fsvorab and cannot but
believe that calculated to bring matters crisis
much sooner with less danger Of involving the govern
ments concerned In general war than any other course
which could have been taken. The whoIs question bears
more encouraging oompk xon and 1t 10 highly probable
that later advices win give strong indications Of
Early adjustment Of the matter This affair
disposed Of would give impetus to stock speculation
greater than has been realised this market for msuy
years.
