Injunction against the use of the west

There was considerable activity in the

carried prices below last nights level.
News this morning from foreign ex-
changes dissipated all apprehension
caused by yesterdays reports that the
British naval reserves had been ordered
out. British consols advanced fraction
in London, an unfailng barometer of a
peaceful outlook. The firmness of the
wheat market was also relieved of the
uneasiness in the speculative circles over
the outcome of the great December deal.
The bank statement was disregarded as
so involved with the Union Pacific
operation as to offer no indication of the
drift of general conditions. The some
what contradictory irmness of money
and hardness of foreign exchange con-
tinued to-day though both markets were
very dull. The sub-Treasury had ST.
446, 742 to pay at the Clearing House
to-day, again rejecting the continuing
REIMBURSEMENT of the money market from
that source. There was disposition to
make much of the exceedingly favorable
November statement of the Pennsylvania
system.
The week has been one of dullness
on the stock market and ON the side of a
few specialties of more highly specu-
lative character, almost apathetic. Trad
ing has been in the hands of profession
al room traders and outside interest in
the market has been insignificant. VAR
ious causes have contributed to the dull
ness. The holiday season has kept many
operators out of the market. Dealers
in stocks have the habit common to all
business men of closing up accounts
with the end o. the year as far as posi-
bic and of taking account of conditions
before entering upon new ventures.
There has been liquidation Of speculative
accounts during the week in accordance
with this custom, the effect of which has
been especially manifest in the special
ties recently fayorites in the speculation.
Profit taking in the stocks of local cor
porations caused some sharp recessions
in values, but later developments have
resulted in recoveries. The decisive fac
tor in restricting speculation, however,
has been the stiffness of the rates for
money and the apprehension of squeeze
at the close Of the year-an apprehen-
sion that has grown less and less as the
week progressed.
The bond market during the week has
shared in the dullness of the stock mar
ket during the week, but prices have
beer held firm or have improved. Uni
