TIE doubt In regard to the operation Of the
Finance bill gives a hesitating character to the
movement Of the Stock market The nnwillingness
10 operate On the part Of outside spectators has
tendency 10 depress the market, while the bears
hammer with good deal OF energy. Until the poll
Icy Of Mr.. Chase under the Finance bill is deyel.
oped We can scarcely look for any grea. change in
the Stock movement. The downward tendency Is
sesisted ut every STEP and the strong underto0e
firms the belief that tue market needs but mod
crate provocation to become again active and buoy
ant. Should DR.. Chase como upon the market with
a long loan instead OF tie threeyear bonds aud, az
"a predicted In come quarters, insist upon making q
tight money market in which he is himself
70 be the chief borrower, the Stock market Will un-
aoubtedly be affected unf.vorably for time. We
have no expectation, however, that the Secretary
will take any action calculated 10 disturb the Money
market. and thus damage the chances Of putting ont
bis securities although we are aware that HE prefer
eDcs is TO raise money by loans, If possible and not
BY currency. We are confident that Mr. Chase Will,
upon consultation with his financial advisers take
such measures to supply his wants as will attain that
object with the least possible disturbance TO the
Money market. The general tendency Of stocks at the
