 Other features that combined to unset tie the market were disquieting reports concerning the Presidents condition, the prolongation of the coal strike and the indubitiable fact that London and the continent are unloading "Americans'' in large blocks.
 Practically all the money loaned on call today came from trust companies and out of even corporations and private in- dividuals. The banks of the clearing house association stood aloof and made practically no loans for speculative pur- poses. Moreover, the so-called substan- tial interests offered no support to the market, which. with few exceptions. in- cluding Atchison and St. Paul. closed at the lowest level
 The offices of J. P Morgan & Go. and other leading banking houses were active during the day. MT.

 Remark.ng upon the consumption of to- bacco in England which IS only two pounds per capita, as against six pounds in the United States, MT. Duke said he believed the small consumption in Eng land was due to the high duty on tobac- co. and that the reduction of this duty would result in trebling the revenues from it.

 That the syndicate had been formed so far. that Is, as the necessary verbal as- surances of participation were concerned, was admitted by some of the persons in interest today and absolute confirmation was obtained by the inference that for minority holders of Louisville and Nash vile, the 601 includes no provision at all Hereafter, 1t is said, the Louisville and Nashville will be operated with the in- terest of the Atlantic Coast Line chiefly in view.

A conference of these chiefly concerned was called after the close of the market by J. P Morgan & Co. today, but those interested declined to make a statement of the proceedings.
