NEW YORK, y. y, Jan. 6,-Wan streets first
impulse at the opening OF business at this morn
ing's exchange TO buy stocks. Secretary Car
isles call for bids for bonds was favorably re-
ceived. \ rise OF u to pa per cent followed, in
which Tobacco, Sugar. the Changers, Manhattan
and Western Union We're most prominent, The
the street looked into the bond call however,
the less liked it. and during the greater part OF
the session iquidations were quite pronounced.
Bankers were not disposed TO talk about the mat
ter and IL was impossible to obtain anything Off
cial as 10 the attitude OF the Morgan syndicate.
Statements were current that John a. Stewart OF
the United States Trust Company intended form
these bonds, but this could not be con-
frmed \ bout the only thing about which there
seemel TO be any uuanimity OF opinion was that
the uncertainty in financial circles had been ex-
tended fer another thirty days. In the afternoon
trading there renewed pressure to sell the
announcement from Washington that the Senate
Finance Committee had adopted free-coinage
substitute Tor the bond bill and intend to t2mper
with the sugar schedules.
The statement that Lazard Freres and L. Won
Holman Il Co intended TO forward the $780,
600 gold which had been detained here on London
orders by next " Wednesdays steamers also hurt
the market in late trading. The impression is that
further large amounts VIII be shipped during the
coming thirty days. The decline in stocks ranged
