 Taibott x PaImer's Stock Letter By private wire from the New York Sun
 New York, January 15.-The chief factor in the strength in the London stock market today was the belief in common that the re- lief of Ladysmith was near at hand. Metro politan Street Railway was conspicuous in the retrograde movement in the traction shares. London's dealings in this market were on balance on inconsiderabe scale The local money market was also very easy. with additional heavy receipts of currency reported from interior points Aside from the local traction issues, the worst suffer- CTS in the weakness of the market in the forenoon were Sugar and Tobacco Federal Steel and American Steel and Wire. The last named stock was particularly affected by reports of serious dissatisfaction among the company's employees, but nothing that was new or definite attended the declines in the other instances The standard railway issues showed losses in the same time which averaged about point, but subse- quently recoveries were shown later on, as was also the case in the Industrials. The days total dealings attained only a fadr ag- gregate, and speculative interest was large ly centered upon the csted instances The general conviction that important and even crucial developments were imminent in South Africa served to hold in restraint se- rious interest in the market, while the days situation of itself comprised very lit- tie calculated to give 8 definite trend to speculative sentiment
