THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

There was a further shrinkagc in stock mar
ket dealings yesterday. with a continued proht-
taking movement that caused great irregularity,
and in the greater number Of issues net declines
as compared with Wednesdays closing The
disposition among speculative owners Of stocks
10 reduce their holdings is NEST encouraging
indication Of coming higher prices throughout
the list. for the recessions brought about by
realizing and by the bear pressure incident 10
such realizing are being taken advantage Of by
substantial buyers and sold out public opera
tors who do not believe that prices are destined
70 sell materially lower In many of the more
active stocks values are already from TO D
points under the hest OF the year. The market
has had a greater reaction than the majority
of people realize while its technical position to-
dav IS stronger than at any time in several
weeks The selling far this week has re
suited in the liquidation % many loans on which
stocks have been carried snd TIE loan account
in the weekly bank statement tomorrow ought
therefore 10 reflect en- important change from
a week ago. while surplus reserve should snow
a further material expansion.
Early trading was Influenced 70 some extent
by higher prices in London. accompanied by
buying in this market for the European account,
the last-named being stimulated by reduction
IN the Bank Of Englands discount rate at 3 per
cent In the course Of the advancing values in
the morning. liberal prolt-takng sales were
made and when the buying demand slackened
in the afternoon bear pressure was exerted
throughout the list. The granger shares lost on
an average Of l per cent. while Reading first
preferred and Manhattan declined about two
points apiece. Manhattan was sold on the
theory that all the good news was out" and
that neither the present earning power Of the
company nor its prospects for the future war
ranted higher price for the stock.
The course Of the market this week reflects a
popular sentiment in favor OF a healthful reac-
tion. but it should be noted that no general
liquidation is under way. and that the reaction
airy tendency is accompanied by a smaller vol
ume Of business from the public. Advancing
markets attract heavy public trading.
When FIVE months loans can he negotiated
for little above 21a per cent, It seems utter
folly TO attempt TO bring about any lasting de-
preston in stock market values a Stock Elk
change house made a loan yesterday for the
time stated at less than pa per cent and the
same cheap basis for loans prevails on all the
money now being lent Easy money and bust
ness expansion are difficult obstacles for the
bears 10 overcome. The market closed fairly
steady at slight rallies from the lowest prices Of
the day.

Tomorrow an interesting ceremony
takes place at the houses of Parliament.
1t is the inauguration Of a new whiskey

cided To mature its own whiskey here
after. As Lord Valentia is the chairman
OF the committee. the vat will be dubbed
"Valentia." The vat is Of polished oak;
IT is oval in shape. > feet inches wide.
and feet | inch across, and II viii hold
200 gallons. Hitherto Parliament has
bought its whiskey by the hogshead
But the consumption of Scotch WnisNev
is increasing so rapidly in the House and
outside II that the committee has deter

were sufficient tor the members. 49,.
session they consumed I'VE. In the same
period only one hOgshead OF Irish was
drunk.
The whiskey has already been bought
for the new vat. and II cost 500. The
vat will be preached about March. and
then at all the bars members Will know
that they are drinking from their own
wood. and strangers that the spirit has
the right parliamentary flavor.
In spite of their Partially for Scotch.
the members live not by whskey alone.
At present the cellars contain l.0jO dozen
quarts of champagne and 800 dozens of

wines and mellow whiskey are the staple
drinks of the modern legislator. one
