Bradstreet's Review of the Financial
Situation for the Week.


Situation for the Week.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12-Bradstreet' s
financial review tomorrow will say:
Extreme dullness characterized the
stock market In the early days OF the
week. There was a manifest lack Of
buying power, and commission houses
were relatively idle, the general tone Of
the market being Indifferent and some
what resembled what might be looked for
in midsummer. Prices, however, held we'll
for time, although the operations of the
room traders were confined to a few spe-
cialties and revolved largely around the
question of the dividends to be declared
last Tuesday on Louisville & Nashville
and Federal Steel, though the market
took a favorable view Of the trunk line
deals and the acquisition of the big
Four and Lake Erie & Western by the
Vanderbilts.
.sThe relief of the money market from
the strain Of preparations for the Janu-
ary disbursements and the large amount
of money unlocked at that time, Of which
a considerable portion Is presumably COM
ing back into Wall street for investment,
seems to have failed to produce the ex-
pected effect upon quotations. Money on
call ruled easy, 8 per cent rate being
generally quoted, while balances de-
clined on Friday to as low as S72@4 per
cent. Time money Is, however. firmly
held at per cent, though some lenders
show a disposition to relax their attitude
to the extent Of putting out funds at that
rate for sixty days, while borrowers are
Indifferent and inclined to walt for easier
rates."
