NEW YORK. Dee 6.-The stock market
continued unsettled today. notably in the
industrial quarter, where a number OF ex-
eeedingly sharp declines were scored. As
wss the case yesterday the dominant in
huence in the days dealings was the none
tary situation. or. more properly. the ap-
pTehensiou commonly entertained in that
respect The only significant indications
in tne monetary situation we're the in
Creasing disposition Of lenders 10 put out
lheir funds on time and further an increas-
ing disposition 10 sCrutiniZe more closely
the collaterals offered by Intending bOT-
rOweTE. With attention focused upon the
nuneE market it was natural that consid-
cradle losses suffered by the banks ID their
operations with the subtreasury since Fri
day, which amount te nearly S2.S00 600,
should receive q good deal OF attention.
and there was a rather premature dis
cussi0n as 10 the showing that the banks
would BE- likely 10 make In their statement

active local money market sterling ex-
change was percepubly drmer as it was
also in Berlin and Paris
The London money market on the other
hand was easier. and on this account and
on the reported raising Of the siege Of
Laoysmith- the London stock market en-
ioyed q material advance. The Presidents
message 10 Congress was said 10 have ere
atel g good impression in London, and
paTtly on this account American stocks
were reported In good request there. For
e;Eu houses with the opening OF business
here were active buyers OF stocks, and il
was 70 this circumstance that the compar-
arve hTmness OF prices al the beginning Of
the days session was chiefly owing. The
unsettled tone. however, soon developed.
The dealings were NOS ia particularly large

cation was reported throughout the market
The misgivings recently entertained in

Sugar Refining Company upon the dividend
OIL The common stock were swept away
shortly after noon. when the usual 3 per
cent rate was declared. Despite this cir
cumstsuce the stock broke very sharply.
The Atchisou Topeka, and Santa Fe Com
pHny made al advance Of IA in IT'S rate Of
dividend on the preferred stock today's
declaration being l-2 per cent. The very
sharp declines that appeared in all % the
industrisls and notably in the so-ca.lel
steel and iron stocks had no more definite
explanation than the increasing discrimI-
nation against these stocks as collateral by
money lenders. Other notably weak fea-
tures were Brooklyn Rapid Transit Man

Railway. IN al of these instances, how
ever. sharp rallies we're occasionally scored.

important gains. resulting in most cases in
net advances. for the day. The situation is
a most Interesting one, but the street is IN
usually retieeBt in expressing opinions af-
ter the way professional views have been
overturned this week. Perhaps the best
way TO look at the market at present is
as a professional affair entirely. Prices do
not seem 10 move far in either direction.
When the public has decided that a fine
boom is near and has begun TO buy stocks
with some return Of the old vigor there
has invariably come a decline. Yesterday
morning a large part OF the public switched
TO the bear side and before the end of the
day an advance had begun. This has heen
the course Of the market for the past
month, a succession of Intellectual advances
and equally inconsequent declines, each
rousing the hopes of one party for a day
or two. So much for the immediate mar
/ ket. The heavy buyers OF securities, the
men that have been purchasing them for
the past three months are not selling out

Sugar should be considered perhaps the
immediate cause Of the recovery yester-
day. The stock declined nearly all day
and at one time reached 149 81, but during
the last hour it was bought heavily by in
siders and quickly recovered all of its loss
for the day and a little more. The stock
was sold on the rumor that the regular
dividend would not be paid yesterday. 1t
was bought back as soon as the announce
ment was made that the dividend is 10 be
paid as usual. a further reason for buy
ing the stock was story sent out by one
of the Wall Street news bureaus 10 the ef-
feet that the prices Of sugar are being ad-
yanced and that the end OF the Sugar war
is probably this time actually at hand.
These being the ostensible facts in the
matter Il IS nevertheless difficult 10 escape
the conclusion that the Sugar people have
accomplished another neat market coup.
Everybody was selling Sugar for either the
short or the long account yesterday, and
its price suddenly began to advance rap

The report should not be considered a
poor one. The increase Is steady though
not perhaps. as rapid as President Rossi-
ter promised his friends a year ago and
six months ago. Figures showing how
large a proportion of the gross is being
absorbed for operating expenses would be
particularly interesting at this time. The
present average of gross receipts with an
operating ratio of 80 per cent, or even of
80 per cent would insure a large surplus

Another piece OF good news yesterday
was the announcement that Atchisou pre-
ferred is 10 get a dividend Of / 1-2 per
cent. Nothing better than ia per cent
had been expected, and it was thought pos
sible that this might not be declared at
present The immense earnings OF the
company for the past year, and the Ger
tain,y that the record will be even better
in the future have made students Of rail-
way securities particularly bullish on the
preferred stock for the past six weeks. and
il seems extremely probable that their faith
viii be fulfilled. The stock was strong

companies are making enormous earnings
/ and the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
! especially has an immense territory want.
