PLENTY OF MONEY YESTERDAY.
Created Revolution in Sentiment
I'm the stock Market.


New York, Dee. 19.-There was com
plete revolution of sentiment in Wall
street to-day, and the latter part of the
session of the Stock Exchange witnessed
something like panic among the bears,
who were making frantic efforts TO secure
stocks to cover short contracts, and were
bidding prices up on themselves.
The issue of the speculativ conflict was
by no means certain until about midway
of the session. and yesterdays tide of dis
aster was not stemmed without Titanic
exertions on the part of the most power
full financial interests in the country. act
ing in concert.
Millions of dollars in money were forth
coming for the extension of credits to
buyers of securities. The clearing house
banks supplemented their yesterdays con-
tributiOn of 100000, by another of the
same amount, 10 be loaned at the market
rate.
The announced determination of the Sec
retary Of the Treasury to increase gov
ernment deposits in depository banks gave
promise of relief from the start, and funds
estimated at 100000 became available
from this source before the market clos
ed.
Under the influence of this abundance,
yesterdays panic rates for money were
at no time approached, but the demand
for loans made inroads on the supply with
seemingly Unsuitable appetite. The rate
went to % per cent, but steadily declined
from that point under the offerings OF
successive millions until 1t was forced
down 10 per cent, and in the late af-
ternoon fell 5l3 5, 8, and at last to per
cent.
With the subsistence of the panic condi-
tions a saner and quieter view of condi-
tiOns developed. A study of the facts in
connection with the trust company which
came TO grief yesterday, and Of the Sc
curities with which It was involved, show
ed them to be unique and not to be taken
as justifying the wholesale fear and dis
trust which were then felt, not only of all
trust companies, but all industrial secu-
rites. Nevertheless there was abundance
of precaution and dlscrimina tion shown
to-day against many Of the industrials, es-
pecially in the placing of loans They
We're not acceptable as collateral, and
money was not easily procured for the
purpose of supporting them in the market.
The decision of the banks was to place
all their available resources at the dis
posal of borrowers without regard to the
effect on the surplus reserve. The knowl-
edge of this determination had much to
do with allaying apprehension
The Clearing House Committee was in
session during the day. but by the time
the market closed, had come to the con-
clusion not 10 call meeting Tor to-mor-
row, though further sessions can be had
at need.
The Clearing House Committee at Its
session this afternoon, adopted a resolu-
tion asking the trust companies of New

Der of perfunctory resolutions for print
ing for committees, leave to sit during

WILL CONTINUE PAYMENTS.
Spanish Government Paying Inter~
est on the Claim of 1894.


Washington, Dec. 19.-The Spanish gov-
ernment has undertaken to continue the
payments which it was pledged 20 make
under the treaty of 1884, and the state de-
partment has been notified that the gov-
ernment at Madrid has drawn two drafts
for the payment of the interest due on
what are known as Perpetual Rentes OF
1884. These drafts cover the arrears OF
interest for the years 1898 and 1899, the
payments having been suspended upon the
outbreak Of the war.
1t was entirely within the technical right
Of the Spanish government, under interna-
tional law to refuse to be bound by the
treaty of 1884, and it's action is regarded
by the state department as peculiarly gra-
cious.
The payments under this treaty are
made on account Of Illegal blockading oper-
