yesterday: From the tenor OF my advic.s
from the principal business centers, am salts
fled that the storm has blown over, and that we
will have easy sailing from now. on. Money IS
returning to the Eaut from the West and
South, where it had been sent to move the
crops; gold is coming from London. the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is releasing large
amount Of funds, and Congress shows disposi-
ton to afford all the necessary assistance to the
business interests of the country. Besides. the
January disbursements will add some $50, OOO. wv
to the amount of available cash. These consid-
eratlons induce me to think that the outlook Is
favorable for easy money and an active move
ment IN all lines of business"
There was a good business demand for loans

tended on the usual basis of 607 per cent ac-
cording to time. Bank clearings were Sl,9I2,-

H0kE SECURITIES.

The Market Laboring Under a Spell of
Weakness-Brokers Disappointed.
The weakness of the local stock market yes.
terday afternoon was disappointment: to
many who expected a different course from the
improved condition of. financial affairs and the
buoyant feeling of the previous day.
The opening was about the same as the pre-
vious close, and prices were we'll sustained
until the last call, when concessions were made
covering the maj ority of the active list.
The leaders in the decline were Philadelphia
Gas, which went off nearly point, Electric,
which broke almost as much, CHARTERS Valley
Gas, and Pleasant Valley. The only gains
were Luster and Switch and Signal.
The depression was attributed to disposi-
tion to withhold buying orders and not to any
change for the worse in conditions. There was
no pressure to sell. showing that holders were
NOT reduced to the recessity of making un-
necessary sacrifices.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Stock Market Lower on Account Of the Ac-
ton of the Foreigners-Money Rapidly
Getting Back to Its Normal


NEW YORK, Dec 1B.-The London market
was lower this morning principally SO far as
any interests on this side are affected. There
were rumors OF withdrawal of gold from Lon
don by both the Bank of Berlin and the Bank of
France, all of which made the foreigners sellers
at the opening this morning. Domestic opera
tors were also sellers of stocks bought in the
expectation that the announcement of the re-
suit of the Presidents meeting would create a
boom in securities, and as all wanted to sell at
once and the market seemed utterly devoid of
support, prices yielded easily, and the day was
one of continuous decline from the opening to
the close.
Many stop orders were uncovered and COW
cred; the narrowness of the market was still
its most conspicuous feature, and dullness
