Change.
WAS A GRATEFUL RELIEF
INFLUENCED BY CONDITIONS
IN LONDON AND GERMANY.
Quiet Course of Events In Boston
Are Viewed With Satisfaction
Market Displayed Many Examples
of Marked Strength, But Dealings
Were Light-Grain Markets.

New York Dec. 26.-Wau street spent a
very duh day today and took great COM
fort therefrom as a grateful relief from
The painful activities of last week. The
fact that the stock exchange in London
and in Germany were closed had an in
fIuence toward dullness in view of the
great importance attached 10 the course
of events at those center's. The London
market particularly viii be eagerly
scanned tomorrow 10 get an idea of the
progress of the settlement which has
caused grave anxiety; The strength
shown by international stocks in this
market was an indication of confidence
in a quiet settlement in London,
The LONDON market for Americans has
become so narrow and IS SO subject to
maniDulations THAI the cable quotations
in other parts OF the market were await
ed before conclusions were drawn Steri-
ing exchange in New York was without
Quotable change and tomorrow steam
ers take only a single shipment OF gold,
amounting 10 $4,000. The sterling ex-
change rate in Paris reacted fully S15
confines indicating notable relaxation
in the LONDON pressure on that center.
Here the money ruled easy all day from
~ TO S per cent
These various Indications awaken some
confidence mat the stress of Inc prepara-
tons for the Jan. l disbursements OF dlVl-
bends and interest is past. The deposit
ing Of the internal revenue payments IN
interior exchange is in favor or New
York. The quiet course of events in Bos-
ton today was also viewed with much
satisfaction from Wall street. The conSe-
quence was the market displayed many
examples OF marked strength, although
the dealings were very duh throughout
That the demand was considerably
made UP of the short interest was evil
dent from the large gains shown by
stocks which have been recent sufferers
from besr manipulation. There was
Il Xxi lfrarr
opposition to the bears as there was an
appreciable demand through commission
houses. The higher range of prices did
not bring any severe pressure on l1quida-
that forced liquidation is at an end
The market receded at intervals in
semi sta gnant condition but The closing
was strong though veIy dull A number
of speciaitles showed gains ranging from
! 20. points and many railroads are a
point or more higher.
The bond market was irregular, specu-
lative issues advancing and some less
conspicuous mortgages showed sharp
reactions. Total sales par value, SlSe5,-
