Apprehensiou and Uncertainty.

New York Dec 19-The air on the stock exchange at the opening was one of appre- hersion and uncertainty. The compafa- tive steadiness of the London market be- fore the opening here showed that solus mower of resistance to the depressing et. feet of the military disasters in South At- riea had developed there, promising that much relief to the situation there, but ths threatening tone of the closing dealings here on Saturday served as an admonl- tiou that our markets had troubles Of their own to face. All commi SSion houses were demanding large additional margins, and the disposition of tired holders to let go and take their losses made it certain that offerings to liquidate would be heavy:
 Supporting orders at the opening ss*ed the market from violent losses. 1t soon became clear that the only motive for sup porting the market was to att ord opput- tunity to realize F6rced liquidation on t large scale was obviously going on, and the tone became weak. The announce ment of the suspension of one of the many new trust companies threw the market into demoraliZation and confusion on ae- count of its affiliations with some or the new industrial combinations. The sus- pension. soon afterwards, of board member. whose weakness was suppoSe'i 10 proceed from much of the same sources made the depression more acute, The widespread nature of the liquidation precluded the supposition that il was solely due to the wiping out Of margins on speculative commitments in stocks. The most substantial stocks We're thrown over with as little regard to the prlVes they were bringing as the greenest ahd most untried industrials.
