STOCK MARKET STRONG Err.
eecovery I'm London Brings "A Better
Condition Here.


New York, Dec. mo change was made
Today In the discount rate of the Bank of
England, and on this account the London
Btock market, which had opened weak,
later scored a general recovery. There
seemed to be some doubt in the local mar
ket as TO what the disposition of the for
eign dealings here would be today, and
at the opening of business the trading
had tone of hesitancy. AS was to be ex-
pected however, clearer notion obtained
abroad as to the probabilities of heavy
gold shipments to the United States and
after selling a few thousand shares at the
opening of business, foreign houses
turned buyers, and with the course of the
morning took back about one-half of the
amount sold yesterday. or about 200o9
shares. The local market reflected at
once this change in disposition of the for
eign dealings, and more particularly the
belief that the liquidation apprehendei In
the event of an extensive inflow of geld
had been averted. London cable advlces
reported the cancellation there of some
standing American orders for gold.
Foreign advices were not very explicit
in regard 10 the financial crisis at Ber-
lTOIu TIE
OF the London market it was assumed
that matters were no more acute than
they have been for some time. The local
situation was featureless, the money and
foreign exchange markets presenting un-
altered conditions. OF the traffic returns
reported, the most interesting showing
was that of the Louisville and Nashville
for the month of October, the company
reporting a net increase in earnings of
s192. .9il or more than 80 per cent.
Speculative interest was fairly we'll dis
tributed throughout the list, though the
transactions were in only fair volume.
Notably strong features Were Peoples
Gas, Sugar Refining. Louisville and Nash
3vlle, Southern Railway preferred and
Consolidated Gas. Purchases of the last
named were doubtless induced by the
transfer of the control of the Mutual Gas
Company TO parties thought to be acting
1n the interest of the Consolidated Com
pany and the general amalgamation
project.
The course OF Sugar Refining indicated
that the short interest had abandoned
hope of relief from their position through
a reduction in the dividend. The granger
shares took only n small part in the days
market, though they We're all firm. The
general market closed strong and active
with Sugar Refining the conspicuous fea-
ture.

Bull movements on the eve of the as
