New York, December 18th. Stocks
Throughout the day, tbs market was H.
regular and showed considerable nervous
ness. There was q marked falling of In
the volume Of liquidation, but for the
time being the public has mot regsined
its nerve, and 10 not disposed to take ad-
vantage Of the low prices prevailing.
London was not much of factor this
morning, early quotations were sliehtly
below our parity. Foreign orders were
limited and speculation was checked D,
fresh news from the Transvaal and by the
approach Of Christmas. One or two
efforts were made during the day 10 In
duce weakness In the industrials. but the
selling was largely confined to the bears,
commission houses apparently having
sold out their weak customers yesterday.
During the afternoon the market became
strong. The upward movement was due
to the statement that the Bank OF kng-
land had borrowed two million pound
sterling from the Bank Of France. This
was at first oontradioted, but was re-
affirmed by q news agency and Is now
generally believed. should 1t prove to be
true It may mean that there will DO NO
advance in the Bank Of England rate for
some little time and this would undoubt-
eddy have an encouraging effect upon the
foreign markets.
During the last half hour rather Wig
orous attack by the bears resulted In some
sharp declines, sugar being the principal
sufferer. The closing was irregular. be-
ing higher than last nights figure. In
some instances, but lower than the best Of
the day.
Money was distinctly easier than yester-
day. The average was probably about
seven psr cent. 1t Is believed that large
number of loans were paid off today
causing an increase In the supply OF
money. Bankers. however, do not look
for any material decline In rates and will
do all in their powers to prevent 1t. Lon
don is looking for gold ana IN easier
money market here would mean that this
centre would be the easiest at which gold
couid be obtained.
The temper Of the street is mildly bull
Ish, the concensus of opinion being that
there will tie more money BY buying on
br; axis than by selling on rallies.
