NEW YORK. Dec, Il

NEW YORK Dec. IA
The recent advance in prices afforded a
basis for reaiZatioDs, and the market de-
clined today under liberal taking Of profits.
For the present the influence OF the favGr-
able action in the lower house of Congress
on the railway pooling bill has been spent
and the renewal of gold exports on II large
scale has introduced Il new factor of de-
preston. The shipments tomorrow will
aggregate $3,S00,000. and most of the amount
has already been taken from the sub treas
ury, breaking the treasury's gold reserve
again below Sic. 0G0, 900. A favorable Incl
dent was the declaration of the one-half per
cent dividend on Rock Island, which the
officers of the company declare has been
earned, but the bears offset this with rumors
of the probable reduction in dividends on
Chicago gas. The gold movement and the
state of the national finances however, are
tie over-shadowing topics of discussion. In
tho foreign exchange market there-is no in
crease in the supply o. commercial bills
and bankers are effeGtiLg further imports
of gold next week. The foreign exchanges
are in such an abnormal condition that it is
impossible to estimate the extent of the
present effiux of the precious metal. The
only comfort which may be extracted from
this phase of the situation is the possibility
that it may appeal to Congress for some
sensible legislation on the National finances
but the only measure now in sight is the
Carlisle currency bill, which by no means
receives univeral approval in the banking
community. The outlook for gradual i'm
provement in business remains better. and
with more profitable relations among the
railroads it is possible that the difficulties
of the financial situation may in time be
partly solved by a renewal of European
patronage of our securities. But. at the
present the market lacks supporting short
interest, and seems likely to suffer in case
the bears renew aggression. We therefore
see little prospect of any early change In
the character of speculation. and would ad-
wise purchases only on raids.
