New York, Dec. S.-The generally unset

kes was attributable 10 a number or plain
causes Probably the most effective was
the common expectation that the bank
statement would SOW q serious depletion
IN the banks surplus reserves The very
sharp break IN Tennessee Coal and Iron
was likewise effective IN inducing selling
the remainder Of che session, and was
natural that % the end 81 the week OF
saEgine prices there should be general
disposition 10 close out commitment on
the long side 81 the accOuns. London tur-

a comparatively firm feature IN the IN
