New York, Dec. 4.-The market for Sc
curities this week has reflected 4rowing
confidence. The dealings in stocks lave
been mere than twice us large as lastweek,
avera ging over 800 900 shares a day.
The increase in the transactions an bonds

The demand for bonds and FOR invest

usually active. There is plethora OF
unemployed money, not only in the banks
and financial institutions at the principal
commercial centers, tut throu ghout the
country as well.
The same condition exists abroad, hut
as set European investors have rot begun
to absorb American Railway securities
with their old time avidity. This is
partly due to their misunderstanding of
business conditions and prospect III the
Quilted States. Instead of viewing with
apprehension sales OF American securities

The Administration appears to be doing
everything IN its power to avert political
interference with the business OF the co an
try. 1t is believed in Wall street that
the ema j0rity will make no aggressive moves,
but simply transact routine business. These
considerations have unquestionably Influ-
enced investors and also substantiaI inter
ests in the stock market for some little
time past and are to an extent responsible
for the Improvement in prices On the
Stock Exchange this week.
Today's STOCK market was comparatively
quiet and irregular. There appeared to
be- a disposition TO await the publica ion
of the Presidents message; still, there was
fair amount Of commission buying, While
the selling Increased the short interest.
