in the internationally listed railroad
stocks London had lifted these sharply
before the openig here, but they bound
ed above London parity to level from
Ito points above last nights close
here. The urgency of the demand from
the bears constituted Il miniature panic.
Their short selling yesterday was based
on an assumption that the periOdicai
settlement in the mines department OF
the London Stock Exchange which be-
gan today would disclose so weak Il
position there that panic would be
likely to result. On the contrary, the
earliest news from London showed that
the settlement in London was proceed
ing easily and in an orderly manner,
sentiment there being much more en-
couraged by the shipments of gold from
New York.
Rumors of financial ENHANCEMENT and
forced liquidation pursued prominent
figure in the financial world all day yes
terday. Today, on the contrary, it was
affirmed that S10,000,000 in Government
bonds had been placed as additional
security for this man of wealth and
that his difficulties were ended. The
professional traders accepted the one
rumor with the came credence as they
had the other, and put in Il lively two
hours trying to buy stocks to save
themselves from loss. interpretations
of the bank statement were decidedly con
fused and the market ran off on realiz-
ing. 1t did not get back to the top, but
hardened again, materially, and closed
strong. The cash increase shown by the
statement of 50, 49,, 800 came as a sur
prise, in view Of the gold shipments
and the drain to Boston. 1t is an evil
dence of the hidden resources brought
out in such Il crisis as that of the past
week.
The conviction is practically universal
that the completion of preparations for
the annual settlements will mark the
passing Of the crisis Sentiment is not
so unanimous as to whether such prep
aration is yet complete.
Bonds have suffered in sympathy
with stocks. but declines have not been
so violent nor selling so large.
