FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
Quotations Of Staple Products in the
Leading Markets

Stocks and Bonds-New York Financial
Review, Received Daily by Pullen, Crock
er g. Co.
NEW YORK. Dec 18.
Lower prices all around were the result of
increase in activity to-day, but long stocks were
not pressed for sale and the declines were ap-
parently largely due to renewed bear attacks
There was no new development in the situation
and railroad earnings were no more unfavorable
than had been expected. The outlook is not
encouraging to co6ndent features. but the loan
crowd indicates that there has been considera-
tle increase in outstanding short interest. 1t
is apparent that there can be no important re-
vival of trade until the prospect is brighter for
settlement of the various questions asking
consideration from Congress. Unfortunately
there are at present no indications of early ac-
ton at Washington, and the banking world
awaits with some impotence an outlining
OF the financial policy of the administration.
Much will depend upon the developments at
Washington, and 1t is within the range of posi-
bilities that measures may be adopted that will
tend to revive confidence. In the meantime the
depression in trade and the reflection in adj
verse railway earnings are elements which will
repress outside investment and render it adviS-
able to operate with caution and prudence. AT
the moment the speculation is SO narrow that
factor may easily overdo its work and there are
indications that the short interest has been ma
terially enlarged We see no evidence of any
decided change in the character of the market,
but we are inclined to believe the local situa-
ton is reaching point where rally on the
shorts NAV be near at hand.
