Promise of an Easier Money Market Leads
to Expectation of Rise in
Most Securities

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Although the
stock market today failed to display any
Improvement over the recent light RECORDS
of business, 1. stronger tone was appar-
ent, chiefly on covering of shorts. There
was a continued absence of commission
business and the rally was inspired by
more cheerful advices in relation 10 the
western bank situation, reported easier
trend to money in London and weaker
tendency in the market for foreign ex-
change. In few of the more active spe-
cialties, manipulation for rise was evil
dent and favorable influence also re-
suited from moderate purchasing orders
for foreign account. Despite the heavi-
ness of exchange, experts expressed con-
fiicting views as to the immediate move
ment of that market. The point OF un-
certainty is the amount of exchange that
has been boarded and the probaple extent
of renewals of turning loans in the coming
month. The preponuerance or OPINION is,
There was but little news of Importance
bearing upon the market, the action of the
court in granting temporary Injunction
restraining the payment of the Manhat-
tan dividend not being known in the street
until after the close of business. Busi-
ness was extremely dull during the fore
noon but in the afternoon showed compar-
ative activity. The closing. was. strong

The following letter from the pen
of w. A. Myers, York, Pa, in the
Chicago Recorder, is deserving of
more than passing notice:
From thorough consideration of
the great financial problem now be
fore the country we have concluded
that a complete new monetary sys-
tenn is what is needed. Neither the
Ibimetallic system, and proposed
gold standard or free coinage of sill
yer will restore the desired prosper
ity or relieve the depression which
now exists in business. SO much
has been said in criticism of the var
ious monetary systems now under
discussion in financial, political aud
business circles, and the evils of each
nave been so prominently portray
ed, that we think the time has come
tior critics to cease enumerating ad-
lItional evils, and for some one to
suggest relief or devise plan
which would afford the people i'm
mediate relief from the present
stringency and establish n money
standard satisfactory to all, ire.
