CLOSING ON
DOWN GRADE
StagnatiOn of Market Result of
War Uncertainty.
PLETHORA OF CURRENCY
FUNDS CONTINUE TO PILE UP,
WHILE STOCKS ARE
DRAGGING.

BY Associated Press
New York, Jan. 1S.-The stock mar
ket today reflected no development in
affairs, but stagnation of the market
was in itself the result of uncertainty
over the outcome OF far eastern crisis.
The same effect was noticed in the
various commodity markets which
have shown themselves under the in
fluences of war news, while the for
eign securities market was also prac-
tically idle today These markets were
evidently waiting, all of them, for
some more definite shaping of future
of events.
Constantly varying mmors regarding
chances OF peace or war seemed to-
day to have lost their power for Undue
ing active operations in the markets,
The possibilities involved in the situa-
tons are abundantly realized, and the
conclusion seems to have been reached
to sit down and await the outcome.
In the absence of speculative de-
mand for loans. offering of call money
became so large today as to suggest
an early stage OF plethora in money
supply. Funds still continue to pile up
at this center by receipts of currency
from interior and by some belated ar
rivals Of foreign gold.
The government fiscal operations at
subtreasVry are also yielding large
returns to money market by reason
OF pension payments, interest pay
ments and payments on account Of
yearly mail contracts. This abundance
of money still fails to attract any de-
mand for securities, either Of stocks
or bonds. The uncertainties of the
war outlook are considered sufficient
explanation of indispostion to trade,
Possibility of an unheralded decision
being Unexpectedly handed down in
Northern Securities case is a factor
in making for conservatism in specu.
lative commitments.
The prices today grayitated to a
lower level from sheer inattention and
closing was on down grade.
Following are the closing bids on
the securities named. today and Mon
day:
